I didn't think I would enjoy a sports bike. Turns out I love it.

A shot of my 2007 CBR600rr with the bins in the background lol. Picked it up yesterday. Well pleased with it. Now to go about selling the Hornet ...

Looks good. :)


Cheers guys. I was out for 4 hours today getting used to it. It's night and day compared to a Hornet - not unsurprising. The brakes are fantastic and the suspension is rather stiff so I felt every bump. It's so nimble and light it just wants to dip into corners without thinking about it. Nowhere near as uncomfortable as I thought. For a stock exhaust it sure does sound good when you get the revs up.

Anything I should watch out for ? The bike is stock so I think a tail tidy would be a nice start.

It's a brilliant machine.. it gives you so much confidence as a rider, since having mine I've had no issues what so ever, The build quality is immense.. I still have the stock reg holder :p like you say its actually a comfy bike... compared to the other bikes in the 600cc class.. I was considering getting a quickshifter fitted as ive had them on all my other bikes and they're a lot of fun....

Yeah a quickshifter would be sweet, certainly something to think about down the line. I think if you buy Honda or in general Japanese then you know the build quality will be good. I sometimes like to watch videos of barn finds where some American digs out a 70's Honda CBwhatever, cleans the carb and bam! it's running again.

Totally agree, My old SV was solid.. Yeah Honda have a great reputation... an old work may of mine had a Collection of Honda C70's in red and white and blue and white. He's had them for years and still rides then on a daily basis... Although the horn sounds like its on its last legs the rest of the bike is immaculate

Still haven't managed to take a picture of the bike, so here's the picture from the dealer.

Bought this yesterday, 2010 Suzuki Bandit 1250S, 17k miles and came with top box, fuel exhaust, extended+original screen, crash bars and a rear hugger.

Also has a meta alarm fitted (not advertised, nice bonus), just need to figure out how it actually works now.
