Freaky man, this biker I met and was talking to down in Wanganui last Monday night asked me out of the blue if I knew YOU Paco? I said you'd bought a new Raven and he said yeah that's the guy! Why u so popular man, lol? Small world...

Just found out that mine will get to 130kmph as it redlines, might get another 5-10k out of it but don't see the point. If your 600 gets over a tonne in 1st then I'm Mickey Mouse.

cbr6 can do 110 in first I think, before the rev limiter cuts in.
That is the '99 version. 600rr might do more.

Now is perhaps a bad time to admit I have a woody I guess. Nice bike Zed, awesome ride sunshine.

Check out this site once it's up and running: http://www.second-look.com/

I found the site when searching up CBR954 pics half a year ago. The seat covers they had for it looked awesome

The rear spade has gone! What a fiddly job too, but I knew the end result would be worth all the trouble. Now a much tidier looking rear IMO (see 1st post pic for comparison). [smilie=9,13,6]

**Coyote** · 1st January 2006, 14:14

That's looking heaps better

**2_SL0** · 1st January 2006, 15:07

Congrats, Nice looking bike.
