Hows the Honda CBR600F Sport

[DarkNinja]

As per the title, does anyone have any stories to tell about these bikes or own one? i've seen someone park with me in willis st and its a very, very nice looking bike.
Anywho, im looking at maybe getting one when i get my full and just wondering if they are value for money, maybe one about 2000ish
Cheers guys

Cant really go wrong with one of these - extremely popular in the UK and is a brilliant 2nd bike I would say !
:scooter:

[Firefight]

yeah mate, I had a 98, dam good bike, not much ever went wrong with it, very forgiving, and still fun to ride(not quiet as much fun as the R6) but still fun, sold it for what I payed for it after about a year of thrashing it.

F/F :blink:

By 2000ish do you mean dollars or year?

[Hitcher]

It's a Honda. You won't go too wrong with one of those (said the Kawasaki owner).

[Nutter34]

Very good bikes. I am on my second one.
They are comfortable compared to some of the other 600's. As far as performance, unless you want it for the track, you can keep up with anything on the road, depending on how you ride.........
I've recently changed the subframe and tail on my bike to the '01-'03 F4i model tail as well as fitted a Scorpion can.
Why? Because it goes well and doing mods is cheaper than buying another bike without any real riding benefit.

the one i think he is talking about is a cbr600f4i sport, the one just before the rr model its park on willis street it has an aftermarket exhust was a nice looking bike(saw it when i was down in wellington the other month, walked past it every day for a week)

Im fairly set on a '01 600F4i when i get my full. From what ive been reading it'll suit me perfectly, sporty but with some comfort and I cant wait for fuel injection!....fucking carbs *mutter* *mutter*.

I would love one identical to this, colours and all.

It's a Honda, so it's boring and it sucks ass. :moon:

Hah.
What could you recommend for a sporty comfy 600?

How do you delete a double up?

I had '98 too Firefight - an excellent bike. Well made, would go if you needed it too and will tour nicely too. Recommended.

That link didn't work for me.

I've recently got a '97 CBR600F3, it's coloured orange and black and I'm having heaps of fun on it.

You can't go wrong.

Hmmk,
long way: Go to bikepiont and search for the CBR600F (theres only two on there at the moment, its the yellow and black one).

or see if this works

'99 and '00 were similar, carbed with the black plastic intakes, then '01-'03 they went fuel injected with the different tail, fairing uppers, other wheels, black frame, clocks etc.
In the original post he says 2000ish..... hence my input...
The riding position is almost the same . In fact, the seat is a bit lower on the F4i, as I've experienced after changing the rear assembly and there is more under seat storage with the F4i assembly.
Either way, both good bikes. I just couldn't justify the extra money for the F4i when I got mine........
Always a fun time, looking for a new bike.....

Thanks guys, nah i didnt mean the one with the aftermarket exaust it was a normal looking one, had a very nice looking Liquid Crystal Display for everything, makes it look so much more snazzy, also the guy who owns it must polish it every night or something coz its rather shiny every day.
now i just gotta find one in wellington! anyone selling at the mo :2thumbsup
Also i meant the 2000 year one coz i was more interested in the LCD than something normal lol.
right, once i buy one of them, time to ge rid of the cage :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Nutter34]

If it had a LCD display, it would be '01-'03. The '99 & '00 have analogue speedo's and rev. counters.

Ah, ...Everyone has their own taste in bikes..
Don't need to be a :moon: about it..:laugh:

[DebK]

The Red Baron example in the BikePoint link has $10,995 on it. I have no idea but is this excessive? If not then I have a WHOLE lot more saving to do to get a decent all round sports bike!

I got my 98 a few months back and have never regretted it.
Very comfortable, much quicker than my little 150 :gob:
