    I had a brand new 2008 as my first bike, traded it after realizing I was too young for it. I'm so so ready for another one. My 500F will hold me over.

      Fair play for taking the sensible option, you should definitely get another one! 👍

    Re gear the bike. I did a -1 front sprocket and +2 rear sprocket on my 08 cbr600rr. It makes the low end much more usable. It does drop max mph to 148ish but worth it.

      Thank you for the kind words. Would happily reccomend the 600RR for your first big bike. Loads of fun, bags of power (but not so much that its a handful). Enjoy 👍👍

    Thanks for your honest review and opinion of the 600RR, it gave me the confidence to get out and buy one, i'm short in the leg (32") but your comment gave me the confidence to buy me a big bike. I've been looking at the maintenance vids, I have to change the chain and sprockets on my new bike (2007) but would it be benifical to remove the rear swing arm have it coated and re grease it. Would you have any videos for that, as looking about it seems as tho the job requires specialist tools?

    • @FrontWheelUp
      @FrontWheelUp  3 года назад +2

      Thank you for the kind words, its a privilege to know the review helped you in your next bike choice (and a great choice it is!)
      I sadly don't have a video on the swing arm maintenance though it is something I might be interested in putting together, as you said I dont think there's any specialist tools that's really needed. Im getting ready to start a restoration build on the channel but maybe once that's done I'll see if there's some more involved stuff to do with the CBR.
      Enjoy the bike! 👍

    It's light, nimble, power is great . Not comfortable for comutting. If you think you're save on gas with it. You won't! Overall I have 2009 model and I love my bike It's my first. I would recommend Dunlop q3plus tires . With some minor changes bike can be really good.
    Mirrors sucks and they shake at higher speed OEM ones. It's hard to work on them as honda makes everything complicated. If you have some mechanical experience you should be fine. Parts are pretty expensive. But bike itself ain't cheap.

    • @FrontWheelUp
      @FrontWheelUp  3 года назад +1

      Agree with everything you've said there, its a cracking little bike. I did a bit of work on the bike featured during our summer lockdown, you can find the videos on the channel if you need any help. 👍

    • @FrontWheelUp
      @FrontWheelUp  2 месяца назад +1

      The CBR is very happy at most rpm around town, the power is all in the top end so keep the revs low. It's a great bike, but if your looking for something for exclusively city riding there are more comfortable and economic alternatives.

    • @FrontWheelUp
      @FrontWheelUp  4 месяца назад

      Process of elimination is all I can suggest. Check the wheel itself for damage, perhaps it has a small buckle that's enough to cause the feedback?

  • @stevesas632

    Hi, I'm looking at buying a CBR600RR. Why is the review spanning 2007-2012 when you clearly say that 2007-2008 is the one people want due to more power? Is a 2013 model better with the improved suspension? Thank you

    • @FrontWheelUp
      @FrontWheelUp  2 года назад

      The 07-12 is fundamentally the same bike, the engine was retuned in 2009 but a change to emissions rules actually means it made less power. 09 onwards also have a slightly different fairing and feature ABS. Fairly minor changes but the bones of the bike remained the same.
      I cant comment on a 2013 model as I haven't had the opportunity to ride one yet.

    • @stevesas632
      @stevesas632 2 года назад

      @@FrontWheelUp ok, I was led to believe that ABS was an option, & most didn't have it because it increased weight quite a lot.
      Reading up on power, torque & weight etc, they seem to be separated more from 2007-2008 & then 2013-2021 being better than 2009-2012, but still.a bit confusing.

      Haha. If I recall the dry weight is approx 155kg, 185ish kg with fluids. Can't recall what I said in the video. Under 150 kg wet would be hellish good fun though!

  • @grnm2719
    @grnm2719 Месяц назад

    Hello mate great review. Only thing I disagree is the weight. I’m might be wrong but the 2007-8 model is bit lighter but claiming something around 170-180kg lighter than the other models also more power and revs to 15000 a bit more than the other models.
    Also these are the reasons I am going one of these 2007-8 model.
