Alienjoe · February 2nd, 2013, 11:13 AM

I just sold my ninjette! After swearing up and down that I wouldn't do it, I jumped into a project bike. I took the little 250 for my last ride with her and I hope I don't regret selling here is my CBR600 I can't wait to take her out and see what I got myself into

The goal

My friend has one exactly like it with a racing tail/solo seat, I covet it so much it should be a sin.

Another rider gets his red wings.

Good... Gooood.....

My race bike is a F2/F3 mix and mash and I love it, its very much like a great big ninjette.

nah jk lol

KawiKid860 · February 6th, 2013, 03:35 PM

Jealous. I love the F3s

Z300 · February 8th, 2013, 05:11 AM

niceeeeeeeeee

choneofakind · February 8th, 2013, 09:09 AM

I love those. They have such comfy rider positioning. It's the perfect balance between "I can ride it all day" and "I feel like superman in the twisties".

I loved the time I got to spend on this one. She's a bit rough cosmetically, but she runs smoooooth

EDIT: here's more info about those fairings on the "Repsol" bike, fyi.

Looks like you have a nice place to work on the bike and wait out winter. I'm working on my bike in the living room of my condo! Looks like you might be buried under 2 feet of snow in your location this weekend...

This forum needs more Hondas.

Alienjoe · April 10th, 2013, 04:43 AM

After a few months of the white winter devil and lots of snags, I finally took her for the first real ride last night. Wow. Gobs of addicting power and a very comfortable position. The added weight only showed up during a u turn and during low speed turns like into a driveway.

During a closer inspection, the front fairing stay and gauges both needed to be replaced. I also had to source mirrors, signals front and back, a front wheel and tire, a battery and miscellaneous bolts that were missing from the seat and exhaust hanger and piece the exhaust together (I didn't want a high mount setup).

All that's left now is to scrape together the money for the plastics and bend the right lower frame a little to insert an engine mount bolt and spacer.

I am very happy with my decision so far to "upgrade". The ninjette taught me many lessons and I preach about all the benefits of learning on one to everyone interested in riding.

Alienjoe · April 5th, 2014, 09:11 AM

Going to post pics soon but all of my dreams have become real. I
my F3 has her Repsol colors now! Looking forward to rides this season with you clowns

sharky nrk · April 7th, 2014, 06:17 AM

post up pics, lots of love for the old hondas

thedrewski86 · April 15th, 2014, 08:45 PM

Late to the game I know but we'd love you over at the cbr forum!

Gotta keep the rock-solid F models on the road.

Alienjoe · January 27th, 2015, 01:29 PM

So late posting these but here is my F3 in all her Repsol glory

KawiKid860 · January 27th, 2015, 05:50 PM

Awesome! I still love F3s. Almost bought one to replace my F4i, it ended up being a major POS and I ended up with a 919. Either way, an F2 or F3 is on my short list of wanted project bikes.

BoBO · January 27th, 2015, 08:30 PM

Excellent bike, I love those old F2/F3's. Those bikes can easily go 100k. You made the right choice!

Finesse · January 28th, 2015, 07:48 PM

I love those wheeeeels

congrats on reaching your goal and getting a project bike out of the garage and onto the roads!! I have an f4i that's almost ready...
