This is likely the last 1997 Honda CBR 600F3 in existence in this condition and mileage. Not to mention the very rare and killer paint scheme. ONLY 4,500 miles (that is not a misprint.) For those of you who've been around for awhile, you know that the Honda CBR600 series was WAY beyond its time at its inception, and they continue to hold their own today. Very comfortable, upright ride and easy on your wrists, unlike the majority of sport bikes where you literally lay on the tank and your wrists go numb just riding around the block.
All factory stock. Bought from the original owner several years ago and maintained as a collectible. Never saw rain and only taken out periodically during warm months for short 'around town' trips simply to keep it fresh. Oil and filter also changed every 2 years to keep it fresh. Turns heads everywhere it goes. Then back to the garage and covered. Gas Stabil-ized and battery removed every winter as well. It runs and operates like the day it left the factory. Tank bag and other accessories are not included. As everything is original I would highly recommend that you replace the tires simply due to age. Newer battery, clean title in hand.
This is a true collector's specimen and a very special machine that deserves to be ridden and cared for with much respect. I'm truly not motivated to sell it but recent changes within our family has influenced the decision to do so.
Cash is required for immediate transfer. Any other payment method must clear BEFORE the title is signed over. No joy rides. Test rides only given to cash-in-hand buyers ONLY. Meaning...if you want to function test the bike, cycle the gears, etc., I will be holding your cash while you do so. If you lay it down or damage it in any way, you bought it. Sorry, but I think anyone selling a valuable motor vehicle would do the same.
A non-refundable $250 deposit is due immediately and payment in full is expected within 7 days. Buyer is responsible for pick up or making transportation arrangements. I will of course be on hand to assist any shipper you utilize. Further, I'm willing to store the bike for a mutually agreed upon time to allow for your transportation arrangements if so chosen.
