winter project complete!

[liquid00meth]

I had some extra money from my school loans, and decided to pick up a bike for the summer. The winner was a 92 CBR600F2 in good mechanical shape, and about 10k miles. Re-did the whole bike. If you know about sportbikes, you probably know it's a great 600cc bike for the money, especially for a first track bike or a stunt bike. Those who don't, probably would think it's alot newer than 92

Before:

After:

Hopefully they aren't too big. I figured most of you are at 1024 or higher. By the way the new paint is a metallic grey from a Honda Civic, (98 I think). Not bad for a '92 eh?

I think I gave the guy like 1,800 for it. He had just spent like 700 on a new rear tire and a ton of mechanical restoration. I decided it was probably worth about 1,500, and I split the 700 with him to go for 1,800

Yeah I am debating a silver/black decal kit for it. I was hoping polishing the pipe would make up for the lost HP, but I'm not sure it was effective yet.

 

[TurboMirage]

i hope it does, but since you already know that stickers give you WAY more horsepower than bolt ons do, i wont lecture you.

 

[reckedracing]

damn dude

talk about stocker to a rocker

thats very well done

looks a little plain to me, i think it could use a decal kit...

but either way i think you did an excellent job...
excellent...

Paint was done by one of my father's good friends. He's the man. The best part is I got it done for materials only because he owed my dad a favor. 300 something bucks I think it was. I had to do a bunch of the prep work though. I think he said if it was a normal job it would have been between 1 and 2 thousand.

 

[noobvang]

1k-2k for a paint job on a Bike? Daum!!!

I change my mind......

 

[formby]

leave it like that, and rebuild the engine or swap it....but please no stickers...it looks fresh and so clean

 

[BodyDroppedNikes]

fuck stickers....get some air brushing done. speaking of painting, did you paint/powdercoat any engine pieces? that would look killer. perhaps maybe some chrome plating would look badass too. just a thought

 

[jeffie7]

Dude it looks great. DONT TOUCH IT.

just ride the F out of it.

 

[Slammed90Lude]

yeah, i'm with everyone else

looks fucking SICK dude- If i saw that on the street I would def. think it was a much newer bike

fuck yeah

 

[Citizen_Insane]

you don't need stickers, that thing is hot as hell the way it is

 

[Smonkeyboy]

nice work
its hot. maybe just a honda wing and 600f2 decal on the tail.

Yeah I was considering it. the CBR600F3 engines bolt directly in, and you can get those up to like a 98' I think. You can also put the 900 range motor in there with some help.
