Having sold the R6 road bike, the hunt was on for a 600cc sports bike for trackdays that would also be capable of having a daytime MOT for occasional road use. (so needed a V5 basically) This one has already been daytime MOT'd so that makes life alot easier. Road will be its secondary use though.
Anyway, £1100 got me this...

A 1997 CBR600 F3 trackbike. Spec wise it's got the following...
520 chain conversion
Wets on wheels with discs
Pirelli supercorsa scrubs
Healtech gear indicator
Ktech fork internals
Quick release fuel filler
Bendix MRR pads (will be changing to my usual SBS carbon)
SBS rearsets
It was cheap because it needs a good tidy up. The picture flatters it (will add more later) but i'm seeing this as a winter project. I'll also be keeping the CB500. The idea being to use this one at the tracks with longer straights like Snetterton to hopefully stop the slower riders just blatting past on the straights then holding me up in the next corners
To do list to follow.
