Hey,

I am new to this forum, and I just got a 1987 CBR 600. I was hoping to get a little newer one, but this one looked nice and it doesn't matter to me if it isn't the fastest thing in the world, I just wanted something fun to ride. I hope this fits the role though. My first sportbike an early 90's EX 500. That's what the Ninja 500 used to be called. I will be happy as long as my CBR is quicker than that, so I think I am going to be happy. Here is some pics though of what I just bought.

Welcome. Nice looking bike. I love my F1 for just around town rides. It has enough pep, so I think you will be happy.

For that kind of money..........Awsome find man. My first street bike was an 88 Cane....fun bike. It will no doubt be snortier than the EX 500. Enjoy and welcome.

Well, I have the bike now. I like it. Rode it over a hundred miles so far. It needs some TLC, but it is a pretty good bike and definitely worth the money I paid. It needs to be tuned and other stuff like that. I won't do too much to it right now, but I will try to work on it this winter.

Hey, this winter I am thinking of replacing my guages (not going to go too fancy though), just want some newer ones that are easier to read as while my paint is new, the speedometer and tach are old and the plastic has that foggy look. Anyways, any suggestions for reasonably good guages at an affordable price (and any thoughts of what it would even cost). Anyhow, I like my bike so far. It floods a little bit right now, it idles too low, and I want to tune it. I am also to to try to touch it up and otherwise work on the looks (it looks good from a distance, but up close it needs some touching up). Anyhow, I will keep everyone posted as to how it goes. . . Oh, and the dash or whatever you call what directly surrounds the guages is old looking and I want to do something with that if possible. I hope to do alot with my bike, but it really depends on what I can do, can figure out/be able to do myself, and can afford. I originally bought this as a bike to have until I could afford a newer one, but I really like how it rides and the power is enough for me. I just wanted a fun one to ride. I would also like to possible do something with the suspension (I don't need suspension like the new bikes have, but I would like to get it more to back the way it was originally when it was newer if you know what I mean). I just think it needs new fluid, etc.
