Honda CBR600F 2011

[SilentDtH]

I am in the UK for a short time so jumped on the UK Honda website for a looksie. Found the 2011 CBR600F - looks nice! http://www.honda.co.uk/motorcycles/s...er/#!/cbr600f/
7050 GBP.
I think it's basically a Hornet 600 with a fairing and slightly different riding position. Review here: http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/bi...-2011-current/

Might be a bit boring for some of you more hardcore types. I like the look of it, and I liked riding the Hornet 600 too, it is incredibly lightweight!



I wonder when we get it NZ?
I did see a thread from someone else who was keen on seeing it here

rode it.
wrote an extensive revision too, but it's in italian and truly i don't know if it's worth a translation.

the sum is: good bike.
i had concern about the frame and suspensions, but they are actually almost perfect in a 8000 euros bike.
on the contrary i had high expectations on the engine: it is not bad, but it gives too much vibrations for an il4.
they tried to pump up the cavalry, but ended up with a lot of buzzing on the handles and the tank.
the smoother il4 of yamaha diversion is better to ride, but unfortunately is not aided by such a good bike structure.

beside this, the throttle run is way too long, and the dashboard sucks. why they have not used the same instruments from the vfr1200 or even from the small cbr 250 i don't really know.

anyway, with the abs, it's with no doubt the best deal on the market if you look for a small 4 sport tourer...

I'm liking the real world bikes which are starting to be produced now. I may be able to afford something which will give me my jolly's without the compromises of an out & out sprot bike.

I just want something that wont kill me to quick and is comfortable to ride.

looking forward to this one arriving, Id like to get my mits on it and see how it rides

I'll be looking for an upgrade from a 250 in a few months and saw this come up in the news, very appealing however Cyclespot Honda tells me that this bike will not be coming to New Zealand...

[SilentDtH]

Noooo! bring it to NZ!!!

[HenryDorsetCase]

Where's the goddamn CB1100F they promised a year ago?

[TOTO]

a bit of an ugly kid. Same bad styling like the new vfr1200 and the new "cbr250"

yup exactly

[Urano]

that's what i thought too.
in 3d actually is much better than what it seems on paper.

not photogenic at all...

[blatz]

Hmm I want to ride one! Maybe someone will bring a few over if Honda is too useless to release them in to NZ!

[old-coote]

they may have new models on the way....looking at the runout specials on at the mo.... would be gutted if i bought a new honda last month only to find it reduced now by 10k
