Hi fellas,

Thought a few here might be interested in my re-painted 1995 F3. I bought it from a bloke with a horrible tennis ball green/yellow colour and crashed it shortly afterwards anyhow

Decided to get it repainted an entirely different colour. Let me know what you think (these are fibreglass fairings BTW):

Old Paint Job

Smashed After Lowside

And here she is now

And

This is an amazingly well setup bike, couldn't be happier with it now. Next mod is going to be a Veypor unit to replace the stock dash and maybe some billet race clipons. Probably need new rearsets at some point as well, the right one got bent in the crash.

Yep get out there a bit. Had the bike about 6 months and have done about 6 days, so 1 a month on average. Obviously being a 95 model its down a fair bit on power against more modern 600's (about 20 HP or so as far as I can gather). But because the bike is so sorted out with suspension etc. I can usually stay in touch unless they are really good riders. Always get them under brakes though or through corners, never on the gas.

Ultimately this is a learning bike and I will upgrade it once I'm happy I've pushed it to its limits. I'm only running Pilot Powers also, which, whilst sticky, are still only street rubber not race / track rubber. Can still drag my knee through the corners on em though
