    looks good

    you should try and find out about the front sprocket. i wouldnt have thought it would make a lot of difference to your top speed maybe a little. but getting there would be a whole lot quicker which explains your standing time.
    ive done the 1/4 mile on my old TL and could only get down to the 11.5sec. and the 600s were around 1/2 a second slower. so 11.58 is damn quick fo 6 hundy.

    Yeah, you could be right. Although at the sprints it seemed that the bigger bikes were having problems launching, they really struggled to keep the front wheel on the ground. Even so, there were a number of riders that did sub 11 second 1/4s.

    Just found this on the net:

    From Sports Rider magazine,

    CBR600F3 ('97)
    Standing 1/4: 11.30secs @ 194.4kph
    Top Speed 245kph

    So it's fairly close to what an experenced 1/4 rider is getting...I'm happy with that.

    Don't think so, I think he was heading off overseas.

    Motorad has just traded a CBR600 in the same colour scheme, maybe that's the one you're thinking of.

    Nice paint job dude! Looks like it'd be even better in the flesh. Looks sharp

    Thanks. It does look pretty damn nice in person, at least I think so.

    Are you trying to steal my thunder???

    As this is my thread, I'm gonna assume that Storm was complimenting my paint job. That's not to say that yours isn't nice thoughl.
