Well maybe one day i will!!! I think UKbike should arrange a yearly gathering for it's members! That would be great!

Do you have any other mods planned for it?

When the engine gives up ( could be a long time for that, being a Honda) I'm going for a blade engine.

or your R6 might

Do you ever try the BCF ?,I'm manxscot on that bike site.

Looks tidy, much improved on the bog-stocker. Is it just cosmetics or have you done engine work, too?

I'd be tempted to fit rear-sets and junk those pillion peg hangers, though - they don't do the looks many favours and must weigh about 30 kilos each!

You know that engine's never going to stop working, of course (!), but even if it did a 'blade lump might not be entirely the thing for the 600F: it's a lot of power to contain in a top cradle frame. BSD tried it at one point and found quite a few problems, opted in the end for a flowed CBR600 top end instead. Price of slightly older 'blades these days, you'd probably be better off buying one cheap and streetfightering it...or, of course, the 900 comes with a detuned 'blade mill already in place...

Got the re****ts in the garage.

I'm probably giving this to my wife and getting a VMax next.

Always liked the looks of the V-Max, apart from the front forks - they're a bit too spindly for the rest of the hardware. Seen some very nice mods where the owners have fitted much bigger stanchions (EXUP front end or similar), though. Any plans to customise?

Just out of curiosity, Ems, does your R6 come out to play at all, or are you on an A2 license?

MMMMM! Very nice brace of moto ciccles gentlemen, agree with Endo (being of a similar age and probable disposition) always wanted one when first launched as a lad, never got round to owning one, in later life always wondered what would happen when the V-boost kicked in whilst cranked over. How about a review on the main part of the site peeps, New t-shirts just arrived and you could be the first to place a video clip as part of the new reviews pages. The generaql public need to see more of these beauts and that Can can come to life if you switch the sound on, C'mon lets actually hear it howl!!
