Thats a good looking bike you have there. From the pictures, it looks good in both white or yellow.

My New bike! 2002 GSXR750...OOH bit different to the cbr600f!
24k miles, pretty nigh on mint condition,barely a few marks on the panels, just serviced last week... 2.6k!
Still getting used to the very different steering to a 13 year old CBR, its very intuitive, pulls itself round with a shift of body weight, sweet!

looks mint! , white wheels are a pain to keep clean but i like them on the blue/white :cool:

nice bike

My vfr has white wheels. considering getting them powder coated at the end of the year. and get new rubber at the same time and possibly just replace the bearings to after all they are 24

Couple of mine from last weekend:

New F.Fabbri screen

New rear Corsa 3, after a thorough scrubbing the day before

Shame shes poorly now - headlights not working atm, no 'running' lights (only the little side ones) and no high beam, although oddly I can flash those bulbs using the 'pass' :confused:

No blown fuses and I replaced the bulbs, so a trip to the dealers this week I think, hopefully a warranty job as is may be a relay/main switch...

Couple of pics before I went out on Saturday afternoon. Was fitting my Akra exhaust back on after getting it MOT'd the other day with the massive standard can on!

Ooo I love shiney bike threads!

Here's my Suzuki RF600, done endless amount to it since Jan 2009 but here it is after its wash and polish for this year.

Yellow on the wheels doesn't suit it.

Haha, the one dividing bit!

Most love it and i think it looks better than nothing, did toy with the idea of either whit trim or tyre pen, dont want to leave the wheels just black.

Yeah, it certainly is a bit of a "dustbin" the standard can, eh?. Mine ages ago with the standard Ape can on it :-

My MoT guy allows me to keep the Renegade system on mine fitted when he tests it with the stipulation however, that I fit the BS stamped baffles to it. :cool:

St0rmer66 · 19 Apr 2010 at 19:18

I can imagine fitting twin cans and the headers on every time would get annoying!

. Mine is only 2 springs and a single nut & bolt so I don't mind

. Was great to get back out on it with some nice weather! I forgot how fast 120mph+ feels

Busa · 19 Apr 2010 at 19:18

My busa has no problem with the mot...full titanium system and its a bit loud!

The Renegades are a bit of a pain to refit so yeah, I'm glad my spanner monkey is happy to test it with them fitted. I only ever use the baffles once a year at MoT time mind, the rest of the time they sit in a box and gather dust.

Your Ape is looking sharp btw. :cool:

kidloco · 19 Apr 2010 at 19:26

im so glad my local MOT place isnt that bothered, they just make you push it into to the garage and testing area. Good job as changing the exhaust on mine is a pain to say the least.
