It rains like... 15x-25x a year here. Atleast where I live. I ride my bike ('03 CBR600RR) all year round. Between February/April is when it rains the most.
Very excited for this bike - not only for the bike itself but for what it represents for the 600cc machines; it's a shame to see this class fading. Well done Honda for coming back and kudos to Kawasaki for keeping the Ninja updated and in the game.
The 600 class has always been "fading" since 700 and 1000 became more available and better. The only saving grace is that its a really good balance between performance and eco.
I think the class should turn into 750 class. I mean ktm makes the Duke 990 nowadays which is also a middle weight.. 190 kilos, 3 kilos lighter than this 600. P/weight ratio superior but i think thr fairings and gearing from the zx6 and the cbr6 will outrun it in once it's past 120 kmh
The only thing i don't like is the indicator lights placement, wish they were left in the mirror frames like on cbr1000rr. Otherwise its an absolute stunner
@@gauravbathija6783I can see why some people would think that. I personally love the color scheme, I really like the “vintage” color scheme while all other brands have been neon green, black, red, and blue. I mostly like the color scheme because it fits my fashion with what I wear while commuting to school
Easily the best review so far of the new CBR600RR on RUclips in my humble opinion. It’s very much on my short ‘must ride’ list for this season. Also, it’s great to hear that someone can actually pronounce Portimao correctly. Cheers Toad ☺️👍👌
Picked up a 2007 gsxr600 for my first street bike. It was easily my second choice vs the 2007-9 cbr600r's i was looking at, but times didnt line up with any of the sellers and I for weeks. Very very pleased with my second choice, but still yearning for that CBR styling and excitement.. After watching a few videos i think im gonna wait on picking up a second bike, put a few more thousand on the Suzuki, and once my WRX sells im going straight for a 24/25 cbr600rr.. Still the only new sub 1000cc bike to get me excited as hell just looking at it.
I would like to send an email to whomever at Honda, is in charge of the North American market. I want to shake some sense into him. Seriously, why is this bike not going to be available to us ??? (It only gives me a "small" comfort that I won't be able to buy one here - because if I was able to buy one, the LACK of a Fuel Gauge would drive me nuts). Maybe Honda will come to their senses - for 2025, and do 2 things: 1. ADD a Fuel GAUGE to that fancy TFT display 2. Sell this bike in North America (you have a LOT of customers just waiting on edge for this thing !!!)
Its extremly beautiful no one doubts that! Comparing to the old ones (i have riden a lot from friends) i dont think that its a lot upgraded. It has some torque in the middle but all in all the only differences are the fairings/headlight/ramair/exhaust and the electronics which i dont think that are needed (dispite the shifter-blipper). in conclusion, its the same motorcycle as it was for the last 20 years. Honda has gone way high on Fireblade, but not on this one. Its very good that they still encyst on i4 600cc sport bikes. SuperSport's cant be nothing less than i4. Would i buy it? Hell yeah, with no regret!😍 my 2 cents (as a Suzuki fan). 🙂
The Suzuki 600s and 750s were terrific machines. It's a shame, but also understandable, that Suzuki has phased them out in favour of more sensible machines like the 8s and 8r.
@@gsm_liv8980 Suzuki's GSXR 600 and 750 are a category of their own. Way better than the competition. I have a wrecked K8 600, which someday i will rebuilt it and keep it mint for all my life. IMHO Suzuki should have kept one "small" i4 supersport (600 or 750) as Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha did. Its obvious that Suzuki is going it's own way and not "keeping" with others. They know way better than us and it seems like its working very good. ❤🙂
@@modpup The US does get a 2024 model, however it's not the updated one. So it's basically the same as last year (as far as I'm aware). Disappointing, as I love the changes they've made.
Love this. Can I ask, what’s your inseam measurement? I too am 5’7”, but want to know how your feet get down. Lowering link recommended for someone with a 29” inseam?
I wouldn't lower that, I'm 5'6" depending on shoes I can flat foot both or flat foot one and toe the other one. Also consider I'm 143 pounds/65kg so they bike doesn't lower much.
How do the abs brake feel? My 2014 one abs felt dangerous so i ripped it out and fitted regular brake lines. Loads better. The best looking one since 2006, but i can't see me swapping my 2014 one for this. Not until they start selling 2nd hand atleast.
No way. This is not going to sell even more then the previous years and nobody wanted the 1000RR electronic garbage, otherwise, you just buy that! Sigh... The #1 thing people do not understand when they say a 1000 is cheaper then a 600 is Insurance rates.
So as a track toy it would be nice, but how fast do you need to go to get to 9500rpm in first. I remember the old CBR600RR being utterly guttles and slow at anything below 9500rpm and assume this is similar. So as a road bike is it any good ? Or track only ?
Still plenty of roads here in Scotland where you can, fairly safely🚔, get away with bombing around over the ton. People who buy this bike are not planning on sticking to speed limits all the time.
@@ewganhoff Exactly. Speed limits are only for when someone is watching, or there's a speed camera ahead !! Choose a good, safe road, and have some fun.
@@ewganhoff I know that. But if I want an track and street bike and something like the Triumph Street Triple RS is same price and more capable, so want to know if this is as sh!t as a road bike as it was before. This would replace my KTM Duke 890R so it has big shoes to fill.
@@wiwwee1 I'd have your 890 over this 600 any day for the road. I've had 2 bikes with feeble midrange and it gets old fast on the road. I'd imagine this 600 will be just like the 600s we used to ride - fast as fck and exhilarating when you're on the boil, but uncomfortable and frustrating any other time. This exactly why torquey middleweights like your bike took over. 70mph on a proper sportsbike feels like walking. On my old zx6r I needed 90mph just to take some weight off my wrists on a long ride😅
Counterpoint: supersports such as this are two bikes in one. Below 10K, they are basically a nice easy to handle twin. But if you want to go fast (or do track days), they scream above 10K. I've always enjoyed this fact about 600s, as they keep me out of trouble on the road. Way too tempting to go way too fast if I have all the grunt down low like with a superbike.
The only thing honda has to do is to add up a few more hp and the 600rr is going to be the best 600cc bike,thats the only thing honda gradually evolves through the years it's hps. The fireblade now i think is with the highest hp among the japanese ones,so should the 600rr,the bike needs 10 more hp.
@@Rider07041 true and maybe dont know true too,but they need to face the 636 with no remaping and full exhaust,just the standart engine,they are capable to achieve it,am sure!!!
Honda needs to put down the meth pipe. this thing is priced at almost 30k in Australia which is the same as an R1. they will sell 0 just like the new fireblade.
Waiting with baited breath for these in the showrooms. Thank god you not pushing that idiotic e clutch crap. Way to provide a solution for a problem that doesn’t exist. Go buy a car you need an e clutch
I bet there's nothing more disappointing for a Britt than to come to Portugal and it being raining lol

Wonder which will be better this or the kawa
Do yall have any insight as to why the run of 600rr’s in America don’t come with the updated tft display, electronics nor updated cowl/ aero??
because honda doesnt love us :(
Not gonna release in the U.S.
Nice, finally a real bike being launched.
We agree!
Well done Honda and Kawasaki for bringing back the fire on 600cc supersports...
Will this bike be available in the US??
No
Hope it arrives in INDIA as it meets the emission norms now.
Ordered one👍
Does it have an autoblipper and ride by wire?
Yeah to both, the blipper and whole Q/S is perfect!
@@visordownthanks. Sucks for me though. No Canada version. Might have to go to the US to get one and import it

Great bike, glad it's back but really dislike the disproportionate & really dated rear end.
If it gets launched in india, will buy it for sure
It’s some Asian markets already
@@visordown ya..but not in india
If Indian's can afford CBR600RR's and rocket's to The Moon, then maybe it's time to stop sending foreign aid.
is the CBR600RR street legal?
No way. This is not going to sell even more then the previous years and nobody wanted the 1000RR electronic garbage, otherwise, you just buy that! Sigh...
The #1 thing people do not understand when they say a 1000 is cheaper then a 600 is Insurance rates.
