Default Pics of my new bike...

Well new to me bike (94 CBR600 F2)... I picked her up just a few weeks ago and im in love, It's not the prettiest thing in the world but its a good starter bike for me.

It's got a couple things done to it... D&D Exhaust, steering damper, Factory Ign. Adv., Factory Jet Kit, K&N air filter, manual cam chain tensioner, braided steel lines F&R, HH pads F&R, cartridge emulators, RaceTech springs, pegs risers, 520 conversion.

Nice purchase! F2s are awesome starter bikes.

Are the springs set up for your weight?

Thanks man, yea i couldnt pass it up for 2,000 for a starter bike... I almost went and plopped it down on a new bike and I am still happy that I didnt.

I lucked up on that because the guy was almost the exact same weight as me around 185ish.

2k is a great price.

Are you planning to switch out the front tire soon?

Thanks

It's not the #1 thing on my list right now b/c it does have quite a bit of tread left on it, how come? I had to replace the M-1 that was on the back b/c of a nail, and i went with Michelin Pilot Power and so far i like it so i'll be putting a Pilot Power up front also when i switch the front out.

I figured thats why you said that... But i was just checkin Thanks for looking out for me though, but yea in the pic it does look like it doesnt have much tread.

I've had a couple people ask me if it was mounted in the wrong direction because of the tread pattern lol

Thats crazy man....I bought that exact bike (color scheme, year, etc) 2 1/2 weeks ago as my first bike. Too bad you don't live in Cleveland, we could rock our purple f2's together, haha.
