Ones go for around 2.5-3k yeah? Does it have a pack rack?

The riding position depends on how tall you are, but I am 6'1", and fit on it really well.
I can easily sit on it in comfort for the entyre fuel load in one stretch, which is about 160 Miles.
It will reture 4.9L/100K if you ride it at 100 K and are not braking and accelerating a lot, OR you can burn through all your fuel at a rate of 7.5 l/100K if you are at Manfeild.

It is not the tidiest, but fair condition for age.

I have 3 in total available.
One is my bike, which has after market fairings from "Just Fairings", Indicators from a NS1, a rear shock from a 93 model, and passenger foot rests from a 1999 model. It has covered 50000 Miles, but still runs sweet, and makes a lot of power, and sounds great with a Kirker Pipe.
The wheels are off a 1993, so are black, and not red.

The second one is being sold by a mate it has all origional fairings, and just had a replacement motor put in it, with 40000 miles on the motor.
It has a rear shock from a 2001 model.
The third is a spares bike that comes with the second one (Has a blown motor).

None of them have a pack frame, BUT I can throw in some panniers....
I have always reckoned the pack racks spoil the CBR's, so never got one for it, and have only really used a tank bag.

Would prefer the one withthe low km's and original fairings, any photos? He's probably not open to the swap thing then is he? If there's any chance on getting some photos either up here or can email to icemaestro@gmail.com. I've never ridden the 600 before, would need to try one up here first probably, I see your down in bulls?
Is there aby chance You Would be keen on just buying the vfr?

Also, the guy I swapped tanks etc with has just put up his side fairings up in the same scheme on trademe for 30$ each, the right one is in better condition than mine so would be a great option for the future buyer ( or me if no ones jumpin to buy it after a week or two)

K's on a 600 don't really matter, as long as the maintenance has been kept up.
It takes forever to clock up big k's heading to the shops, but if you use a bike for long trips, then they clock up quickly, and funny old thing, long trips are what they love, and are good at.

Will get some pics together.

A 600 is a doddle to ride compared to the VFR. Essentially you are sitting more upright, and as the VFR has a little more torque than the CBR400, you are already used to the extra torque. It is just that the HP means it will propel the 600 to over 250k if you leave the throttle open down a runway... and that is with my 100kg on it.

Yes, I am in Bulls, but it is only 5 hours away....

BUT, yes, I could well consider just buying it outright, your VFR is a fine example.... it is space in the garage that is an issue....

Cool, I have in laws down in palmy that probably wouldn't mind us coming to see them on a weekend some time if it came to that. I can't seem to find any examples on here of that year though? how different is the 98/99 model? Wouldn't mind sitting on one/going for a test ride first

Understand about the garage space!
The kms is purely for resale value.

**Coyote** · 30th September 2011, 10:41

Stay away everyone! This bike looks like total crap and he's asking way too much for it!

Where the hell is my piggy bank...

.

It goes like this:
In 1987 the CBR600FH was released. In America these were called the Hurricane (Not what the H stood for, as the h designates the year).
Then in 1990 they got a bit of a Make over and released as the CBR600FM. I haven't seen many of these, but they have white wheels.
In 1991 the CBR600FN was releases, and called the Super Sport in some markets. Also known as the F2. These has Red Wheels, and 100BHP. The first 600 ever to make such a claim. Most are called 1992 models (as it was Septemberish 1991 they came here).
Then in 1993 (FP) they got new rear shocks and black wheels, and a colour change as well as loosing a little weight.
In 1994 they lost more weight, got new forks, and a colour change.
In 1995 the F3 was released. It was called the CBR600FS?
THe plastic was changed, and some other stuff, as it got a huge make-over.

In 1998/9 the F4 was released, and it is essentially the same formula for riding position as the 1991 version, but by now they are much lighter due to the use of more alloy around the place, including the frame.
Then in 2001 the F4i came out. i is for injection...

It wasn't until 2003 that the CBR600 changed shape completely.

Note: This is brief to give you an idea.

Hope this helps.
