Cbr600f Pc41

[Janne Desir]

Atried and trusted unit with roots dated back to 2007 when it first appeared wedged inside the supersport CBR600RR. Honda then took the motor and detuned it for less horsepower but added a smattering more bottom and midrange rasp. As used in the Hornet 600 and several other Honda middleweights, the engine is perfect to provide everyday ease of use with enough top end punch to have fun and experience high rpm supersport power. Gearbox, top end and all the bits in between are nigh-on mortar-proof. Electronics and decent fuel injection give clinical throttle response to make it one of the easiest bikes to ride.

Best bike ever. Have been riding since 2013 started with a 125 then proceed to this amazing bike 2011 version abs. Never has let me down, always a joy to ride, currently looking for a new bike but this one will never be sold and will keep it in the livingroom as secons bike, cant come to terms with selling her. Has never let me down Done close to 30.000miles and not a single issue Been through a few tyres every year or so mainly due to cuts or nails in the tyres due to visits to construction sites (work commuter too yep) Change the exhaust can for a akropovic megaphone Lowered the miles ler tank range but, i enjoy the bike sound more and thrills.Absolutely adore this bike and dont think will ever sell her. Future art pice for the house.

Comparing this to a 2009 zx6r this is much easier to ride on the roads due to its torque and shortish gearing, you only have to downshift a couple times to overtake with full power. The brakes feel pretty poor but they will stop you and the c-abs really eases my mind. I like leaning off the bike, it feels very stable although I'm not a fan of the seat as it constantly pushes your junk into the tank. The worst thing about it is the throttle which twist's a million degrees, i've shimmed it to the max and it's still horrible on track but not too bad on road. The cat also ruins the sound of the bike and is a hideous weight.

Easy to live with yet easy to thrill. Good looking sports bike which is not intimidating. Comfortable on a longer ride, but realistic range is more like 150 miles. Weight is supposedly less than the comparable Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F but not noticeably so.

Read reviews of this model before I bought it was wanting something lighter,more comfortable and still with reasonable power and handling as I am approaching retirement age doh!.Having had 3 hayabusa, fireblades,gsxr1000 etc was wee bit concerned if I would be happy with it and was pleasantly surprised how capable it was as long as you kept the revs up - very neutral handling bit slow to turn in initially change of tyres probably sort that out but easy to ride and confident.Still got a s1000r as well but could easy live with the cbr as my only bike can run with bigger bikes on back roads no prob. Good value and brakes,mirrors and throttle all function well but reading dash in sunlight is not so good and could do with a gear position reading.

Great all round bike. I've had it for 7 years now and due to my lack of caring for it and relatively high milage, it's not worth much any more, but there is nothing else which would be enough of an upgrade for me that makes me want to change. If you want a cheap to buy/ run, easy to ride, fun all rounder, you could do a lot worse.

Traded in my Kawasaki Ninja 300r (what a delightful little bike) for a Honda CBR 600F a couple of weeks ago as I wanted something a bit bigger. In spite of the year this bike had done only 3700kms. I really love riding this bike, however a couple of things bother me. The gear box is very clunky and the gear changes are not smooth. The back brake is very bad and could have been much better. However I don't regret buying the bike and am enjoying the ride. The petrol consumption is also quite good which came as a surprise.

The CBR600F is a brilliant bike, especially for a newbie - this is my first bike. I did Direct Access and bought this straight away. It's balanced, smooth, easy to ride slowly, and then faster as you learn. You don't need to move up either, unless you desperately want a massive engine. I wouldn't say it's on the heavy side (I'm female and only 5'5"), I can lug it about without too much trouble. Been around a track briefly and it kept up with the big bikes, caught up with them round the corners. Downsides - it's definitely more sports than tourer. Too pretty to attach hard luggage racks to, and no way will it go 170 miles to a tank. Mine does a little over 110, ridden smoothly. The seat is wide and not the most comfortable for a petite backside over many miles. It's also hard work in a traffic jam. I find 1st gear is either on or off, maybe thats just my poor clutch control!Fabulous for weekend jaunts and commuting, not quite so good for touring with respect to luggage handling or garage stops. Position is comfortable if it wasn't for that seat!

I opted for this bike both for of its sporty look and great touring riding position. The blue version with a Scorpion exhaust is definitely a looker.Done 140 (with pillion and luggage) but I am sure it can easily do 160. ABS was very useful a few times, wouldn't go for anything else now. Did have some issues with the brakes- the previous owner jet-washed it which made the pistons to get stuck! Would have been great to be able to tell what gear you are in from the display.

Passed my direct access in October last year and rushed out, after months of research, to buy my first bike. Ended up buying the CBR600F 2011 without even riding it as I'd read good things. Turns out they were all right. I'm tall (6'4"), a bit dim and prone to road rage. Combine all this with the fact that I like to ride quick and I reckon this bike was the perfect choice for a first motorcycle. It looks after you when you need it (ABS), is docile low down but goes like a stabbed rat when you give it the beans and it looks pretty good - there are definitely better looking bikes about but you could do worse. I use it for an 80 mile round trip commute most days and am still trying to get my knee down for the first time most weekends and haven't got bored yet. Although the top end rush is quite addictive I'm beginning to long for something with more poke across the whole range... which makes me think this bike is a great, safe and sane step on the road to Firebladesville. I wonder how much I'd get on the trade in..........

Had the bike about a month now and have done about 1800 miles very pleased overall it's a lot smoother than my Versys was and has a linier power delivery with a nice little kick at the top end. I was a little conserned about fuel consuption but averager high 50s mpg with one care motorway run returning a very impressive 80 mpg over a 50 mile trip. Tank range averages 150 miles but I managed 205.7 miles from my last tank full. Can't see any negatives so far so what are you waiting for.

I was looking for a replacement for my 'beginning-to-age' ER6f and was convinced by the salesman to take one of these out for a test ride. He knew exactly what he was doing! Fell in love with it straight away, and moreso when I tried to ride my ER home later. It might be a fraction heavy for us weak girlies, but the ER wasn't exactly a lightweight either.Lovely riding position, feels very natural and extremely smooth. Highly recommended!

hello anonymous could you tell me what screen you put on your bike, I have the same bike and have put a powerbronze double bubble screen on but I could do with one that is still higher still but cannot find anyone who can supply one? any help much appreciated.

Having owned many bikes, including two Hayabusas, and a 2010 blade, which I px'd for my current 2012 cbr600f, I was naturally a little concerned whether I was doing the right thing.But ...My aging frame was finding the riding position on the blade a little too demanding on my back and wrists, and I was fidning myself wanting an all together more relaxed riding experience.My bike usages is a 30 mile round trip commute through a mix of traffic and country roads, and the occasional longer blast on a Sunday morning.The cbr600f is an excellent commuter bike. Very easy to ride and control, both in terms of easy handling and a throttle response which is glitch free and sublimely smooth and linear throughout the rev range, both of which give excellent, safe control at all times.It's very comfortable for the longer trips too. This all adds up to a very relaxing bike to ride. Very enjoyable.Of course it lacks the punch of the blade or a busa, and the sharp handling and throtle response of the blade, with a much softer feel, but as I said, it makes for a very relaxed and enjoyable ride.It really depends what you want from your bike, but for my usage and more relaxed riding style these days it suits perfectly.The big plus points are the oh so smooth throtle response, easy handling and comfortable riding position.The negatives - can't think of anything. I have had a couple of vibrations creeping in. The first time was the high screen I had fitted ( highly recommended for windblast at higher speeds ) and was resolved by adding some damping. Second time I just tightened up the fairing bolts ( after 1000 miles ) and the vibes went away again. Should also mention I had an 04 plate cbr600f and the 2012 model is very different, most notably with more low down torque which I find a big improvement.I also don't want to give the impression that the bike lacks excitement. It has more than enough power and handling to put a smile on your face when pushed a little harder.Think that's about it.So no regrets so far after the first 4 months of ownership. Just wish the weather was a bit better to enjoy it ......

I had a go on the demonstrator and immediately put down a deposit when I got back. Lovely bike. Insurance wasn't easy on the wallet though. I'm 35 years old but I've held my full license for only 9 months and managed to insure an XJ6 Diversion F for 300 as soon as I passed but now 9 months later it's costing me 1050 to ensure this bike. If you're a new rider looking for your first 600cc then check the insurance first!
