can anyone tell me anything about the above 2 please, such as differences between them, pic of instruments etc, and yes before you ask, i HAVE emailed Honda NZ for info, reply was not forthcoming only to say they are the same retail price. :Punk: but cant really find out a lot about them, specs are listed on the Honda site if you can be bothered printing out 4-6 pages on each bike to read through, images are well... might as well not be there. so thanks anyone that can help and as that goof of target would say...."....shame on you honda for the non-existent customer service" you may well have sent a customer Kawasaki way :scooter:

You sir sound like a slack bugger - shit when I'm interested in a bike I am happy to run off a full ream of paper to read all about it.

You could always try the old school route and actually go talk to a dealer, they might even have a bike in the shop.

But then you'd have to get dressed and go all the way there ..............

I'm sure you have checked this out already, but the official Honda distributor web site for NZ is:
http://www.honda-motorcycles.co.nz/

It has the RRP pricing on it.

actually the models im looking at no, the cb600F (the 08 spec one as it turns out) IS listed twice and the newer CB600F9X is not listed on the RRP pdf, honda HAVE replied that they are the same RRP though

I rented a 2008 model for a week's riding around NE Victoria (AUS) this year. In my opionion, it's the pick of the mid-size naked bikes. Light, comfy, good handling, more than enough power, averages about 18-21K's per litre (right-hand dependant of course). I believe the newer (2010?) model just has front fork pre-load but, again just my opinion, it doesn't reallly need it.

Ok, 2008 model has basic non adjustable suspension. The 2009 model has adjustable suspension and facelifted instrument cluster. The end verdict is about 4/5 of fuck all!
Be quick as not too many left at 11,995 and price will be going up at end of the month with GST going up.
Give City Honda a call and we'll be happy to tee up a test ride for you.
