Bought this thing at the weekend to do some trackdays on.
Gone halves with my brother to share, we will just go in different groups and hope that neither of us bin it!

Doesn't seem too bad a bike, fairly tidy, it has been binned at some point but is straight so we don't really care to be honest. It is a 2003 CBR600RR.

Looks nice and tidy. What happens if you and your bro end up in the same group? Rock paper scissors?

What I want for Christmas.
nerd that's a Commando motor in there, but of that vintage it should be on Amals.
It is....

Well I never...Amals with plastic tops. Sacrilege. When I were a lad (with a Commando) they were all metal...like this

YamaGamma arrived today.. bloody hell , its whippet light...and very, very naughty...sounds mucho angry too..

Love this paintscheme, when my best riding mate bought one of these and I had my LC, back in end of 1984/start of 5, it made the LC look(and feel) like a builders skip..



Tight fit..!



Brake/forks MK3 Gamma....forks leaking, some thing for me to do over Winter.



TSA pipes sound fit & suit the bike perfectly



Ducked the showers and took her for a few mile spin..




Brakes, steers (even with leaking forks)and goes lovely, real kick in the pants on the pipe.have a wee niggle with the motor to sort and the wiring is not up to standard with the rest of the bike but it is a credit to its previous owner/builer.

Given that its managed to embed itself in a plastic/fibreglass fairing, I'd say it was plenty sharp and fast enough to have gone right through his visor or his neck

I suspect that thousands of Americans are killed every year by this sort of thing.

None anywhere else of course.

Thanks chaps...Seems strange looking at the pair of them in the garage, very little, on the surface seems to seperate , for example a 2004/5 litre bike to a 2014 one but its hard to believe the Gamma is only 2 years older that the LC..

Rear caliper looks to be the same as Suzuki used right up to the SRADs and 2007 Hayabusas!
