Honda CBR 600 F3 comes home

by fasterlaster on Jul.01, 2010, under Sport Bikes

For years I’ve been able to resist the call of another motorcycle because of the Triumph that needs some TLC. Well a few weeks ago I brought that Triumph back from TN and boy what a project. Combine that with my neighbor who was telling me that the market value for mid/late 90s CBRs are pretty low and sprinkle in a bit of Craigslist. Bake for a few days and you end up with a new to me 1995 CBR 600 F3. I headed up to Longmont with Steph and took a look at the bike. Pretty decent, and it appears to have never been laid over. There is tail fairing damage according to the P/O was from transporting it with a pickup. Took it for a spin and was hooked again.
Made a slightly lower offer and exchanged cash for the title and we were off. Now since I haven’t ridden in years I don’t have a helmet. I like the fact that CO doesn’t make adults have to wear helmets, but I prefer to wear one. So I made a stop by a dealer in Longmont and found a Scorpion helmet that fit well. Finally I got on the road and headed back south to Parker. Steph followed me in the Suburban and soon I was back at work. I had to stay there since I was working that night so some more riding had to be delayed. Either way I am now the new owner of a very quick and fun sport bike.
