1996 Honda cbr 600f3 speed run

top speed of about 173mph sorry my camera came undone...what can you do. the bike will run a 11.76@117mph at the track so i thought i'd see what it could do on the street the photo at the end was at 165 and still accelerating it was 173 @ 13,500rpm.

yeah you tried to sell that bike on portland craigslist a long time ago and people didnt buy it because you treated it like shit.

[camaro35585]

i dont even live in portland. did it ever come to your mind that maybe honda came out with more than one f3 with that body kit on it??? everyone knows everything i know

[camaro35585]

i know the speedo is accurate to 130 for sure but from there up who knows

[camaro35585]

tired of all the questions. speedo is off by 7 miles an hour so its 166mph top speed.

[camaro35585]

i paid 2200 the first of spring so 1800 id say is a good deal as long as it hasnt been beat on by the guy before. i bought my bike from a 35year old lady that said she never took it over 8000rpm

[qtvanilla]

im bout to buy ur exact bike this sat for 1800$ is it a good deal?and is it a reliable bike for its age??

[camaro35585]

Worth every penny. mine had 28000 miles when i bought it and i put about 4500 miles on it during the summer between may and oct and never had a single problem with it. just had to put a chain on it. one of the easiest bikes i have ever had to work on. gets bout 50 miles a gallon with the gear ratio i have. tooth down in front and one up in back. great bike though.

Do people not read the reviews on these bikes?I have a 97 F3 and it will do over 160 mph but on a bike dont ya think thats enough?

[penyrheolabc]

i had one this year, max speed 153mph.

@camaro35585 What body kit? I have the exact same bike. That is all stock from 1996. Good video though other than the camera. But yea I bet there is no 2nd gear left if you keep throwing wheelies like that.

I had a 96 CBR 600 SE Smoking Joe's. They are a nice beginners bike. I sold it and now have my favorite bike. Kawasaki Ninja. 99 ZX9R Talk about pull.

@heartlesspinto Mine was off too. I go 70 and people would slowly pass me. O well, saved me from tickets.

@camaro35585 A speedometer isn't off by a specific number of mph. A speedometer on just about every vehicle is off by a percent. So if your motorcycle is off by 7 mph at 70mph (just an example), then it's off by 10 percent. This means when the speedometer says 170, you're actually going about 153mph. At 100mph, you're actually going 90mph.

@PhilG88 No it isn't stock it has a pipe and a k&n filter on it and has been jetted. But the additional horsepower of a modern sportbike really only shows at top speed. My friend's R6 only slightly pulls me when we get above 140. Other than that, during acceleration and cornering I'm actually as fast or faster. Also, the R6's gear ratios are a lot closer together in the first 4 gears than the F2 so I don't have to shift as much.

@jetstream01 Well, is your bike stock, does your friend weigh alot more than you, is his bike stock. because between the mid 90's and 2005 there is nearly a 15 horsepower difference too the ground, Sound impressive? probably not but a 15 horsepower difference is actualy quite huge when you concider it is in a 400 lb bike. It is an increase of 1 horsepower per every 26 lbs, of weight the bike has, not to mention most of the older bikes are a bit less aero dynamic, and heavier.

[jetstream01]

Modern 600's are really not that much more powerful. A buddy I ride with has an 05 R6 and I can keep up with him under hard acceleration and in the turns as well.
