Picked up my first bike after passing my DAS 3 weeks ago and I'm in love! :) I've never ridden anything other than the ER6N i rode for 4 days during DAS and test and the random 125 i rode for a day during my CBT. It's a full on mid life crisis so i had my eye on a ZX6R, CBR600RR or GSX-R 600. However, they were all a bit more than I wanted to spend so i compromised and went for a CBR600F. Mind is a 04 with 9700 miles on it and it's in mint condition apart from a small dent in the exhaust can.

Well, all i can say is THANK GOD. It does not feel like i compromised at all. The bike has loads of power, looks gorgeous and makes a fantastic noise. I couldn't have asked for anything more. To top it all it's very comfy too. I rode her home riding on a motorway for the first time and riding in the dark for the first time. I had no mishaps and now I can't stop grinning. I even filtered and that was much easier than I thought. I did have to focus on not becoming complacent and staying observant and alert as I was enjoying myself so much.

Very pleased :)
 
Here's a pic taken by the chap selling it. It came with a baglux tank cover too :)
