Picked up the CBR 600 today (and bloody heavy they are when you are pushing a distance!!).

Hopefully by the spring it will look like a new bike

Got it for £350 in the end so I reckon its a bargain (fairings are included but not in pics, tatty but should be OK with a bit of a spray).

I look forward to the progress reports and pictures but if you wanted heavy you should have bought a Harley.

Nice :) Isn't that an FL though???

Yes, I thought it was around a '96-'97 model but turns out its an '89.

They all look the same without the fairings on

Best of luck with your new project!

So..everything chromed and a turbo an nitrous kit buy spring.....can't wait

Wish you a trouble free time with your new toy

Definitely bargain of the month... nice work.

looking forward to the project pics.

Well, its a bit quiet in here at the moment so thought I would give an update on this.

Here is how it looked yesterday after a day and a half with a drill and a wire brush attachment



All the metalwork is back from the powdercoaters now so should have a slightly more impressive update in the next week or so.

Shiny!!

Well here is the latest update from end of play today

Have to say I'm quite pleased with the progress so far.

Looks like a new bike!!

Keep up the hard work!

Very impressive! Keep up the good work! I am very jealous, I would love a winter project :(

Aye - looking very nice indeed. I guess I'll have to have the covers off the Blackbird soon enough, so I can do some cleaning up underneath. I might buy myself a proper horn to put in it, since I'll have it in bits anyway.
