Few months ago I was looking to buy a new project bike. There was one enduro bike for sale nearby which peaked my interest and price seemed reasonable. I contacted the seller but the deal fell apart and he decided not to sell it for some reason. I weighed my options I decided to try to sell my '91 Honda CBR600F PC25. On a whim I made an add for my PC25 and on the next day it was already sold.
Now that I got more room available in the garage I started to look for a newer Honda CBR600F4i. PC35 seemed like a good option since I had purchased some parts earlier (more about those later) which would be easier to fit to PC35 than PC25. After browsing market places for available PC35s I ended up buying this one a week later.
It had 50 058 km on the trip meter when I bought it so it was time to get it serviced. I took it to a local maintenance shop. Main thing was to check clearances of inlet and exhaust valves. Engine oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs and coolant were changed and charging, battery, fuel injection, suspension, control system, brakes, lights, tire pressures etc. were checked at the same time.
Overall this bike is in good condition and rides nicely. I haven't got to ride it too much yet but first impressions are good. It feels more nimble and responsive than my previous PC25 and has better ergonomics. There are small things I want to fix along the way such as rust on the silencer, scratches on the right side fairing and crack on the windshield but are not urgent at the moment.
