Honda’s sporty and elegant appearance raises new desaign almost unchanged Honda CB600 Hornet with different handlebars and fairing quality. The result is 100bhp 599cc engine but with more comfort than the CBR600RR. But is this the UK customers want? We are talking to show-goers in Motorcycles Live to know:
2012 Honda CBR 600F Think
Peter Main, 41, Horsham
“I can not get two bikes so what I want is a bike like the old CBR600F which will do everything well. I want to ride all day, could tour on it, do the odd trackday and still= comfortable for a pillion. What I really really want though is a Fireblade with performance and handling but more comfortable. ”
Joe Main, 44, Redhill
“I have a CBR600F 1990 at this in conjunction with CBR Suzuki Hayabusa but getting a bit old and tired. I think that just looks good and the styles that have been brought up to date CBR600F rights. It has 100bhp more than enough on the road for today’s ride today. If I want to go a very long tour, Hayabusa is good for that. ”
Neil Walker, 48, Leamington
“I have a Kawasaki ER6-n and I use every day to go out and move around between different jobs during the day but the lack of fairing is the problem. I want something practical with ABS that I can ride all day and I think it might be bicycle. I want to test one of the trip as soon as possible. ”
Simon Godfrey, 44, Leamington
“I have a Suzuki GSX-R1000 but not the practical type of bike I need now. I want something I can use every day but I’m pretty big so I need to know if I can fit on it. The problem always with less than 600cc motor is that they are physically too small for normal people. “ The old CBR600F is a bike that is still in demand despite the fact that Honda stopped making it in 2004 and replace it with the CBR600RR is much more focused and racing-derived.
While the CBR600RR has been a big seller, 600cc sportsbike market has seen the biggest drop of all in the last two years.
