Ace bikes those, sometimes better isn't neccesarily better I'm pretty sure I'd get on with one better day to day than an RR.

Good to hear you're enjoying it so far. Just wait until the restrictors are removed, despite it's age it'll PI55 on any poxy old 650 V-twin!

Cheers.

Like it in those colours. Like the Urban tiger colour scheme too.

Thats not an FM, they were 91 bikes with welded on rear footreast hangers and no remote shock adjustment..... still fookin good fun though.

Plowsie, thats a lovely example, when derestricted it'll go like stink. Without the restriction it'll still out corner an SV if ridden with a modicum of spirit. Word of advice though, stick to standard size rear tyre, when they came out a few peeps didn't and got spat off because of it.

Have fun!

Well spotted

Now you have made me think about it a bit harder, mine was actually a FR The FM to the FR were prety much identical anyway ... same 'shape' just graphics changes really ... the FM was revamp after the fugly 'jelly mould' ones ...

Mine was one of the last years before the next re-mod when they started looking like Lozzo's pic (and to me the more aesthetically pleasing shape!) ... they ran like that for a few years then went FI and fugly again!!

Then the CBR600RRRRRRRRRR came out
