Shadow125 Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Yesterday I set out to see two bikes, I had called ahead the day before and asked they be ready. I arrived and they were not charged, waited a round for an hour to be asked to return as the bikes needed a full charge, I said no and left none to pleased. Checked eBay for bikes mid rant and a gorgeous CBR600F had just came on only a few miles up road. 2001 only 12000 miles, totally standard which I like. I love it! I will do a full review in time, the acceleration after 6k is very strong to say the least. The bike is immaculate and I am very happy It is the perfect first bike! Quote
Guest Richzx6r Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Looking good that, hope you have many happy miles together Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 I would buy that just for the colour scheme. Looks fabulous. Quote
MarkW Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 If I was into naming bikes (which I'm not) I'd have called it Jasper, after the colloquial name for a wasp. Quote

Shadow125 Posted May 25, 2019 Author Posted May 25, 2019 I would buy that just for the colour scheme. Looks fabulous. That was my first time seeing that colour in person and I love it, there seems to be a subtle shimmer to the yellow. Quote
Shadow125 Posted May 25, 2019 Author Posted May 25, 2019 Apparently "Sting" is taken. I don’t fancy getting a cease and desist in the mail after naming my bike Quote

I am glad I waited and shopped around, and I was growing tired of garages. It all worked out perfect Quote
