cbr600rr fail........

so i have always wanted a cbr600rr since a kid. So after building up two years no claims on the sv650 i decide to go and buy before my renewal date to customise it how i want it.

So here it is when i bought it. 3,500 miles on the clock. got it for a good price and its in immaculate condition. 2005 model with better suspension.



but when i bought it i had 6 months until my renewal so i spent hours cleaning it and researching what i would do to it online buying parts etc. and the end result is this:





PERFECT. now insurance renewal came along and insured it for a hefty price.

THEN IN ONE WEEK


no more no claims bonus, and good bye to all that hard work. but all was not lost. as i had started my insurance already i was able to switch vehicle details for a small extra fee. (this did not take accident into account as if i had repaired the bike i would still be insured on it).

so i had a long hard think on what to do next. just spent alot of money on bike and insurance. Once i had received money for the bike i considered getting a newer cbr600rr. but i think they look gay. with silly new skinny frame, and moved the rear light to below the exhaust rather ontop. but what i really wanted was my old bike back.

so i got one of these cbr600rr 2,500 miles on the clock, 2006 model. for less money then my first bike.


and im insured still.
although the two and a half hour ride back from whom i bought it from did prove a challenge and a saw bum.

Your new one is my favourite cbr colours. Hope you enjoy many accident-free miles together!

That white one was lovely, how did yoo doo dat?

Yeah that was a very nice looking CBR, white is a great colour, shame it takes a lot to keep it clean and fresh. What did you have done to it?

hopefully that will be my next bike, I just adore the way they look.

lost front end. then as i regained control clipped a car. very unlucky sceneiro. but i accept my loss of NBC. I plan to get another set of white fairing's. but come my renewal will be back to just an SV650 man.


i was expecting people to laugh at me.

As for the white CBR am sorry to say I preferred it black and silver IMO

i still have the OEM black and silver fairing in my shed. mint condition. but duno if i can be bothed to change fairing in poo weather like this.

You're safe as I've got the Preston award
