NEWB Needing Help

[jbailey86]

Hi, i'm new to the forum. I have/had a 2004 Honda CBR 600 RR. It was stolen from my house in columbus ohio. I live off of Bethel rd. I was turned onto this site by some people from 600rr.net. Seems like a site I would like to frequent assuming I get my bike back so I could ride.

Anyways I know this is a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone heres anything or knows someone selling a bike that resembles mine if they would let me know. Some specifics about my bike are: Its candy blue 04 CBR 600 RR. Has a jardine exhaust. Some light scratch marks on the drivers side faring from falling over. The rear tail lights were broken so It has some clear caulking around them to hold them on. The license plate is 51MRU. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are some pics of what it looks like.

If i'm not allowed posting like this I'm sorry. I'm just upset that someone stole my bike. My grandfather bought it for me and he passed away a month ago. Lots of sentimental feelings on this.

Thanks

I am sorry for both of your losses, I hope it works out for you.

check craigslist. I swear I've seen a blue one without the graphics on there but I have been checking the whole country so I can't recall if it was cbus local or not

[ohdaho]

Check local craigslist like Bad mentioned. Ebay and other motorcycle forums as well ie wera (13x).

[max power]

Look for it in parts on Fleabay.

[kawi kid]

Hope it all works out for ya man. Welcome aboard.

When was it stolen?

[gixxie750]

was the steering stem locked?

[Casper]

That sucks. Hopefully it's found. Good luck and welcome to the site. Sorry this has to be your intro post. That really sucks.

was the steering stem locked?

Does it matter?

Sorry for your loss. Hope it all works out for you.

[gixxie750]

Does it matter?

Sorry for your loss. Hope it all works out for you.

yep! Cause you can remove bodywork and change tanks,but the remains of a steering stem lock being pried off never leaves.

[redkow97]

what's the VIN? that never leaves either.

I don't know if the steering stem was locked. I'm new to bikes, this was my first one. I have the key so I'm assuming it was locked. I've been checking ebay and craiglslist everyday and posting on everything I could think of.

The vin # is JH29C370X4M102022

I appreciate all the support and help. Hopefully it gets returned in atleast halfway decent shape and I can meet some of you guys on the road.

[Casper]

Guy commented on it on Facebook. Check your PMs.

[Beegreenstrings]

Yeah I saw this posted on your craigslist posting as well. Man sorry! Hopefully you had insurance?

[jbailey86]

No insurance. My wife dropped it thinking I didn't need it again to the spring. I'm mad about that also.

[redkow97]

several sites are telling me that VIN is invalid, including one specifically for "decoding" Honda motorcycle VINs.

did you mis-type it?

[eggs]

Do motorcycles come with an anti theft device already on them from the factory?

[motociclista]

Very few have factory anti-theft devices other than the steering lock, and your CBR is not one of those few exceptions.

The steering lock mentioned above is when you turn the handlebars all the way to the left, then turn the ignition key counter-clockwise from the "off" position, which locks the bars in place. Not a big deterrent, but better than nothing. If someone sees a bike with a broken steering lock, that's a good sign it's been stolen. That's why the other poster asked.

[Ron505]

Sorry to hear this. Theives are low life f'ing scum bags. I'll definitely keep an eye out.

[socaln8tv]

ouch. the sting that is more like a stab through the heart is when its a gift from someone special. i really really hope you have some luck tracking your bike.
