2012 Honda CBR600FA

[gcon45]

Traded in my RR3 and bought this near the start of the Summer.

Over the moon with it. The bike is exactly what I'm after at the minute.

Perfect riding position for me (being 6'2), handles brilliantly, supple suspension and yet it's quick enough for a bit of fun.

Here she is on the day I picked her up:

Then some additions:

Rear seat cowl

Colour coded undertray:

Healtech gear indicator:

Tinted Puig double bubble screen:

R&G cotton reels:

And now the Akrapovic exhaust:

Lovely machine. Really liking the nice simple colour scheme.

 

[Jason]

Really nice bike there, but is it me or is it very plain looking?

 

[gcon45]

Yeah very plain and simple.

Pearlescent blue over pearlescent white and a few logos. Suits the bike really well IMO.

The next bike a few years down the line will be the polar opposite though (a Repsol fireblade).

 

[Peter]

That exhaust looks the part on it! Bet it sounds a lot better now as well.

 

[gcon45]

Yeah there's a nice note!

Cheers! It must have been around late March / April.

Technically spring but they're usually the months with the most sunshine so it feels like summer!

Looks neat enough and has the built in LED number plate light so just a matter of switching the indicators over.

Here's the R&G one:

Would the R&G be worth the extra 35 notes?
