    I've fallen in love

    .... With a CBR f3 mostly due to wanting a CBR600 and that this one has the retro look I like and a cool colour scheme (it has also been very well maintained) but being a chick who doesn't really want something that will give me any problems am I going to wish that I bought a more modern bike, or a lighter one? The older ones look a bit heavier than the later model ones.... How will the f3 run compared to the later models are. I really only wanna spend about $6k.

    Typically Honda's are reliable, but every bike is different. We're likely to need much more information than the model of the bike. KM, history, photos or link to bike to see what condition it is in would be the minimum.
    You only need two tools in life:
    Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't.
    WD-40 if it doesn't move and it should.


    Brute force and ignorance always prevails.
    Failure comes from too little brute force, or
    too little ignorance.

    F4 was the best of those before Honda got serious about track performance. The F4 was and still is a benchmark for real road usability and fun with a not too radical riding position. Pretty much bulletproof too.

    Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

    ^ wot 'e sed.


    The F3/4/4i are all bloody excellent bikes, very reliable with the exception of regulator/rectifier issues (but they'll die eventually, regardless of what bike)
    They're very smooth, very easy to ride and comfy.
    Best of all, you meet the nicest people on a Honda

    Thanks

    I could do that DarkWolf... If some guy called Ian hadn't beaten me to buying it! It has done 40clicks that I can remember. I'm going to have to go to him and see how much he's willing to give it up for or try and get over it.
    Thanks for your replies, useful about the f4s
