New Bike

[Dan]

Right, im finally ready to buy a new bike ;)
I've got my heart set on a 51 plate CBR 600 F, and by the looks of it there;s one in Hyside Motorcycles in Collier Row which im gonna go and loko at tomorrow.

Has anyone got any experience of that place? I got an MOT done there once and they were really nice, but havent bought anything from there before.

Any help appreciated.

[Notorious_T_I_G]

2001 HONDA CBR 600-FS1.Sport
5,300 Miles on the clock

Im going to see this tomorrow :D

[Ride-or-die]

it that falls through i might have a friend selling a CBR600 F, not sure what plate it is, but if this deal isnt what it cracks up to what u want i will find out for you

[fall off]

hi Dan , he is ok thats where Stu got his , known him for yrs from when he done racing , not bad at it ether , what time you going there ? give me a call come up with you may be , give me a call in the morning

[Biker Dude]

what u doin with the viffer dano...selling or part x-ing?

[Dan]

Selling it - its up for 2200, will take 2000 from anyone on here if they want it... and you all know how well its been looked after, the MINT condition its in and the fact Mark Duvall has serviced it every year since ive had it.

[Spider]

the "Mint" condition is due to lack of use hehe

[PPsR6]

My Mate at works brother works there. Great bloke!

They will look after you.

[Tark]

Did you buy it then??? :?

[FingerZ!]

I work across the road from hyside's - rocket ronnie is a racing legend lol

he used to oblierate the opposition - apparently he was really good but mad as a hatter on a bike - he also smashed himself up soo much that he was told not to race anymore so he gave up racing.........hence he now has lots of VERY powerful super cars, and the ones that are not that powerful are made to be powerful ;)

nice bike dan - i want an older version of the CBR600F i think - might even get one painted up in urban tiger 900blade colours cos if i got a 900 blade iw ould die lol!

[Gazdaman]

Thought I saw your VFR by the army and navy today Dan, with a blue and white gixxer, I may have imagined it though.

Gaz

[bikerboy]

nice bike your gettin there! how much are you paying for that cbr600 dan?

[RaceMeNSee]

Gaz, there are hundreds of dans vfr's about...they all look zactly like that! :wink:

[Tark]

I guess we will have to wait another month before we know if he bought it or not! :lol:

[Dan]

Havent got one yet, the guy selling it had to work so i couldnt go down there :(

Still havent called Hyside, although i went in there on Saturday and saw the CBR 600 FS-2 Sport they have in there.. 04 plate, up for 5k. I didnt see the mileage on it and didnt enquire cos everyone looked busy. Doubt theyd give me anything devent in part-ex, so would have to knock them down a bit, buy it and then sell my bike.

The one in the picture i posted (the 51 plate) only has just over 5000 miles on it, but they guy said it hadnt been ridden in a year, just been sitting in the garage. I dont know if thats good or bad, but its apparantly in mint condition and thats up for just under 4k.

Waddya reckon? I still need to ride one to see if they are confortable enough (no more wrist ache for me!) but providing it is, i will end up getting one... just dont know weather to get the FS-1 or the FS-2 - anyone know the differences between the two?

Cheers.

[kasandrich]

see if they are confortable enough (no more wrist ache for me!).

........the causes of wrist ache can be many and varied.......HTH :wink:

[Tark]

Well hopefully you will get your hands on it!

[FingerZ!]

i think its swings and roundabouts matey

garaged for a year is ok - could have pitted bearings and residue in carbs/injection, maybe fuel has gone off

best thing to do woul dbe to look at it, ride it, see if any bearings etc are out, n that it rides ok n engine runs good - check oil level n stuff before starting to make sure he has looked at it himself init...

but garaged is a good ting - look at mine - outside all the time - hence i dont have a bling bike! Specially as someone tried to knick it not so long ago - imagine how long a new bike would last lol!

as for the bike at hysides - not slaggin them off, but they gotta make money on the biks init - be hard to get them down and most places put the prices up to begin with anyways altho i understand that they are good fellas over there anwyays!

[Gazdaman]

Gaz, there are hundreds of dans vfr's about...they all look zactly like that! :wink:

True, I suppose a VFR400 riding with a blue and white GSX-r could be anyone.

Havn't seen many in that paint scheme though.

Worth asking though I suppose.

Gaz

[Biker Dude]

not seen many hey...well there's at least 2 on the forum!

[Spider]

VFR400 riding with a blue and white gixer haha could have been me and jamie or jason and jamie haha

[gixer400]

mine - outside all the time - hence i dont have a bling bike! Specially as someone tried to knick it not so long ago - imagine how long a new bike would last lol!

i dont know how you do it.. your bike is in better nick than mine and mines garaged. bloomin theives, id cut their hands off

[Dan]

Well, the 600 Sport fell through, the guy decided to keep it grrrr. Anyway, im going to look at 2 more tomorrow - let me know what you think.

[Biker Dude]

You know that if u get that repsol rep, that u'll never ride it...i'm talkin less than the vfr...

But out of the 2 i'd take the Fi Sport. Just sounds a bit better deal and the faring shape is nicer....and no evil butt ugly standrd black can on the end.....

[Dan]

i never even noticed that black can... yeah, that'd have to be changed for a nice shiney one.

My only worry at the moment is the pillion seat - on the FW it looks really comfortable, and that bike is a grand cheaper than the sport... however, i am in love with the sport, just got to see if they'll bring it down a tiny bit in price to what it should be. Mind you, it does come with a warranty which i'd be a lot happier with.

Hrm... Well i'm going to see them both tomorrow lunchtime, and go for a spin to see what they are like. If i like the sport better, i'll get the sales guy to take me out on the back after ive ridden it to see how comfortable it is. Quite looking forward to it! My VFR went up on bike trader today tho :( boohoo.

[FingerZ!]

NOOO!

your VFR is in the trader!!! - cant believe it man!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:

I prefer the look of the repsol coloured bike but thats such a girly attitude i know lol!

i dont think you can go wrong with either but its up to you which is teh better deal - comfort, price, warranty etc

[Spider]

no way dans been sitting on a dam VFR for ages he needs to gain some rep back and seeing as CBRs have the worst reps out of the 600s the old ones n e ways! he needs to get the sport cause it looks the BOMB! it dont matter if the pillion seat a bit uncomfortable you aint gonna be on it thats for the pillion to deal with ;) go for the red! you know you love it

[FingerZ!]

i think he wants a comfy [illion seat for his missus who has discovered that she quite likes going on teh back of his bike if only it were a bit more comfy init :)

[Biker Dude]

lol...you just can't put the words..NC30 and Comfy in the same centance without a "NOT" in the middle somewhere...

[Spider]

you just cant put NC30 in with the following words

FAST
NICE
COMFY
QUICK
GROWS
SEXY


but can with these

ELECTRIC
SLOW
ANNOYING
UGLY
CRAP

[Dan]

hrmm... better kurb my comments ;)

[Spider]

haha sorry couldnt resist

[RaceMeNSee]

Hahahhahahahha only just read this.....sooo true!
however i think it can be put with
'Reliable'
where as the zxr..........cant!

[Biker Dude]

It has come to my attention that the people bad mouthing the NC30's are the people that haven't owned them... :?

[FingerZ!]

I havent bad mouthed them!!! :D

Spider needs to keep it to himself tho - bit harsh mate considering that there a several NC30 owners you just ruined on the forum - sure they are chuffed with your words and wanna be your friend now lol!

[Biker Dude]

i wanna beat the crap outta him and the chelmsford crew ..coz they always bad mouth the lil nc's.... but i can't....i love em all too much :lol:

[bikerboy]

i have never ridden a vfr, my brother had one and said it was 'a brilliant lil bike' till he smashed it up that was, i dont really like the look of them though, and they are old, i think the cbr 400 looks nicer.

[Spider]

i belive you can only bad mouth something you have ridden and anyone that dont like what i said well they can shut up or nut up! and jamie you think your big enough to take me on bring it and ne one else for that matter ;)

[Biker Dude]

LOL nicky, u knows i can beat u on my nc with u on ur 750 any day that thing just will not go round corners!!

[FingerZ!]

i heard that about kwaka ZXR750's but thats only what i heard cos me cousin rode one for a few weeks - not bad mouthin them - spider you need to keep ya opinions polite init! might upset people! :)

[bikageboy]

i got the CBR600F

they have a yellow rossi rep in hyside at the mo im led to believe,

not much i can knock the CBR6 for.
the only thing which might be a problem is they have a tendancy to knacker their cam chain tensioners.

once its knackered, it will give off a rattling noise. doenst damage anything - just annoys the feck out of the rider.
they cost 30 quid to replace, but honda recon that the new cam chain tensioners are top notch and wont rattle.


other than that - i really cant fault the bike, the seat is brilliant, cos you can slide back on it to get down under the screen, or you can come forward on it for a more upright riding position through towns and stuff.

ive used though this winter - commuting every day no matter what the weather. and there is a slight bit of rust on the axl nut and downpipe (thats it, everything else has survived and is still in top condition)

[Spider]

well when jamie test rode the kawak it had **** handeling but now i know why! due to bent rim and a bald tyre! sorted that now so we willw ait and see my friend but if it dont go round corners ill give it to ricki then let him go and if he gets it round a corner then i will know its me ;)

[RaceMeNSee]

Ive rode and raced vfr's and i still think there slow! electric bikes to! but they do have nice handleing....then again my zxr did to AND it was faster!

[Ride-or-die]

well i dont wanna be included with the chelmsford crew that jamies wants to attempt to beat up (ps u will fail). i hate the sound of the VFR (even my dad agreed lol) but after seeing jamie and drew ride them they clearly can be ridden fast

[Spider]

muhahaha we all being nice to jamie he say he beat us all up we all say he fail! look at us gangstas! muhahahhhahahahah

[srxbadboy]

Selling it - its up for 2200, will take 2000 from anyone on here if they want it... and you all know how well its been looked after, the MINT condition its in and the fact Mark Duvall has serviced it every year since ive had it.
So what r u doin with the nc30 coz i iz lookin to buy one for the fight price..

[Biker Dude]

well i dont wanna be included with the chelmsford crew that jamies wants to attempt to beat up (ps u will fail). i hate the sound of the VFR (even my dad agreed lol) but after seeing jamie and drew ride them they clearly can be ridden fast

...oh u knows it! Ridden fast all day without having a moment... :lol:

[srxbadboy]

2200 whats the mileage im looking at one for 2300 its only done 6900 miles.. it an absolute minta..

[gixer400]

i wanna beat the crap outta him and the chelmsford crew ..coz they always bad mouth the lil nc's.... but i can't....i love em all too much :lol: i would run around your ankles and youd be trying to punch me. hahahaha, id win beacuse im sneaky. anyway, have you seen my bike?? i cant badmouth anything. at least your brakes dont seize whilst your riding causing a lovely rolling burnout, and stoppie when clutch is pulled. :lol:

[Biker Dude]

lmfao.....when did this happen?
