Winter bike- ideal supermoto/enduro bike?

will also keep that in mind

Just thought i'd let you know whats happening, basically, i've come across a mint cbr600f 98 model, having it on tuesday, and then keep till may until my restriction ends. spend the time to tidy up a little, modify it, i.e get a few tasty bits and then ready for the next euro trip i'm doing with my dad to the alps! and regarding a bike for winter, kinda gone out of the window, really gonna hate cycling to work, but hoping to scrounge a lift or two on the late nighters, and will make it even more special come spring/ 'summer'.

Cool stuff, the cbrs are good bikes.

just hpi'd it, listed as a cat c 5 months after it was registered, i know it makes no difference really to the cost of insuring it, what would you suggest, chances are i wont be selling the thing anyway as i'm paying a grand for it. would this put anyone of buying it if you were me?

and yes rb8989. good build quality and good engines! fast enough too

Never been bothered by cat D's as long as they're sound when you check them over.

A grand is at the top end of the scale of what id pay for a 98 cat c cbr600f, a friend sold his 2000 f4 for 1100, so these deals do exist.

fair enough! hmm i thought i had a bargain! ah well, its back at my dads now, all paid for, basically the only things that are noticeable are that the top right hand fairing panel, near the headlight, has been replaced with a different colored one, need a clutch lever as this one is bent but useable. bar ends as there is some cheap chinese ones on that look horrid. rear shocks going to be serviced, get an end can, service it, other than that, its rideable, once MOT'd with a new front tyre. I've got 6 months until my restriction ends to get it ready and then a week after my restriction its taking me to the alps basically i've ended up dismissing the winter bike option since this came up cheap, and it will be quicker than the sv in full power form.

now sold the cbr and bought a ccm604 SM instead

Sweet, I own three of those for some reason, you'll either love it or hate it. I'm also over at the ccmmad forum so just ask if you want to know anything. I also have one putting nearly double the power out.. Easy and fun to modify.

Can you give us a bit more feedback about your experiences with the CCM's?
