What Is It?

Review It

The Honda CBR600F is a mid-range sports bike and is powered by a liquid cooled 598 cc inline four 16 valve engine, producing 85 bhp at 11,000 rpm and maximum torque at 8,000 rpm.

Features include:

• Steel frame
• Dual 276 mm discs up front with two piston Nissin calipers
• 220 mm disc at the rear with single piston Nissin caliper
• 37 mm Showa fork
• Rear pro-link shock with 7 levels of pre-load
• 4->1 exhaust system
• 6 speed transmission
• Electric starter

The CBR600F replaces the VF500 and the frame has been re-worked from the VFR750. Cladding the bike in aerodynamic plastic panels, tested in a wind tunnel, allows Honda to keep the internals pretty plain, instead spending the money on some high performance components such as the engine and brakes.

The 3-spoke 17" wheels take a 120/60 tyre at the front and 160/60 at the rear.

Colours: Red/white, red/white/blue, black/red, black/purple/red

CBR is short for City Bike Racer.

Updates
