Went to view this today and ended up buying it. My mate brought it back for me so its sitting waiting to go for its MOT on monday as I haggled down on price rather than the owner having it tested..
Its a CBR 600-F 50th Anniversary, same power as a normal one but has a lot of carbon fibre, an akrapovnic (sp) exhaust, ohlins damper and a few other bits and bobs..
Just need to pass my test now..

Its going to cost me £500 for the year, would be cheaper but because its an anniversary the price gets bumped up.. I was struggling to decide what to buy but I spoke to a lot of people that reccomended these as a good starter bike, a bit more forgiving than a GSXR or that..
