Another Great video. I actually own a 2006 Honda CBR600F4i myself, and it's a great ride. I was very happy to see you make a video on the CBR600 history.
Love your video. I've been riding for 1 season now (still a beginner). I have a gsxr 2011. What brand of oil do you recommended. I 've been seeing a lot of post about the Shell Rotella T6. Would you recommend this oil? Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I immediately went to the garage and looked under my factory fairings hanging in the garage and there it was. Right above the headlight on the underside! Dedicated to Dirk Vandenburg and Josef Boyd. The fairings were hanging in the garage as a testament to the abuse I've put this bike thru the last 16 years and it still keeps up with the big boys at the track. This bike owes me nothing, my hats off to you Mr Vandenburg and Boyd!
"I couldn't imagine them taking a shot at kawi like that today." Because Honda is a piece of shit bike today. An experienced mechanic told me about shitty engine alloy Honda uses that's soft as fuck compared to Kawasaki engines, which leads to engine failures due to excessive wear way too early into their lifespan. Not to mention serious damage even when involved in minor drops. Why do you think Honda engines have the color of copper? Because they're probably made from it. lol Here's an example: ruclips.net/video/2S6hwq41Pok/видео.html Low speed drop resulting in massive damage to the engine and the frame.
@@mickeypopa So why does consumer reports have kawasaki in 3rd place with Suzuki and Honda in 2nd? Number don't lie bro. Yeah honda is using thinner alloy however their engines are not pushed as hard as Kawasakis and Honda refines their builds over years unlike Kawasaki who just trys new stuff without testing causing failures. *cough* Z900 *COUGH*
@Taijean Moodie Why? Because those consumer reports have been bought with clever sales tactics and "deal sweeteners". Honda and Suzuki may give you free heated grips while Kawasaki is probably going to charge separately for them. Honda and Suzuki will give you cruise control and ride-by-wire with riding modes while Kawasaki is going to have analogue throttle and no riding modes. Honda and Suzuki will put a fresh new TFT dash on their bikes while Kawasaki will still have old analogue+LCD one, etc. And of course, consumers don't really care what's truly durable, only what's newer and fancier. They will change their bikes in a couple of years anyway so they don't really care which one will stand the test of time over 15-20 years. Do you? Probably not. Does Kawasaki? Absolutely. Why? Because ship engines they make are not replaced every 2-3 years, they run until the ship is scrapped 30 years later. They outlive the damn ship itself. That's the company motto, they stand by their products. Back to bikes - I'm not saying electronic throttle is worse than analogue for example, or that TFT dash is worse than analogue+LCD, it's just new and interesting and one of the "creature comforts" most people want nowadays. Motorcycles are toys for many and the last thing they want is an outdated toy. They want fresh new stuff that they can feel proud about owning. Yes, Kawasaki is a little bit stuck in the past when it comes to new things and electronics, but they sure as hell make more reliable motorcycles. They have the most experience in making all kinds of engines as a company and knowing how to make them right. So if you want a truly "bulletproof engine" (a phrase tossed around a lot these days), then go for Kawasaki. If you want new fancy things and creature comforts, go for the other two.
@@mickeypopa I own a Kawasaki and Yamaha trust me I know Kawasakis are reliable. I have crashed my 2007 ninja 250 into a car, lowsided and dropped it 2 times. But she refused to die lol. As for my Yamaha just got it last year since my parents think that newer bikes are "better" according to what you said people want new toys not old. Its a 2009 Yamah fz6r so not super new but my God the brakes are way better!! However Honda has made a name for it self in the past where Kawasaki was known for dropping its valves. Its like how Hyundai is now somehow more reliable than a honda car however people won't accept it just because they only know about hondas past. Not gonna lie recently I feel like Yamaha has got more unreliable but somehow its in first place for reliable motorcycles? Hmm I feel like that report is a little bias. The thing is man I think people only think of Kawasakis racing bikes because they're known to leak oil even their 2013 636 however the bike did not die! It's just cause hondas and Suzuki can sound like garbage at old age but they don't leak and parts don't break off. It's not that Kawasaki can't engineer its that Honda and Suzuki underpower their bikes and cars by ALOT. The k5 Suzuki motor is capable of producing over the 180hp llimit it has but suzuki wanted the bike to last long where Kawasaki cares more about horsepower. As long as it's on two wheels I love all bikes man I do agree with you the reports are a little bias.
That was my bike 1987 CBR 600 Hurricane, pearl white. I had a matching helmet and leathers. I saw that commercial and went to the Honda dealership the next day and paid $3300 dollars for it. It was still in the crate, the first white one in Georgia. I was 19 and had the best summer of my life on that bike. Thanks for bringing back such good memories.
I have a 2008 as well. What an amazing machine it is. I had no idea how much of a gem the 2008 cbr600rr was until I bought it and got into everything about motorcycles. I then realized how lucky I was for unknowingly making an awesome choice of bike. I hope to never sell it 😎
07 CBR600RR white/silver/black fairing print right here! 🙋♂ I've had it for 7 years now and not a single issue. Always get compliments asking if it is a new model year 😎. Best RR ever!
@@zip500f9 I got a 06RR for $3995 with 3000miles runs like a champ. Bought it about 4months ago . Raved a friend that has a R1 short distance and gapped him quick af!
I just purchased a 2023 CBR 600RR no ABS I like the fact it has not been updated and it’s still old school with only the electronic damper as the only assisted aid. I also ride a RC51 SP1 and really like the CBR 600RR for in town commuting. It still looks gangster in my eyes and to the untrained eye looks like the $26,000 Fireblade RRR from a glance. I actually like the older style mirrors as well without the blinkers in them. It looks killer next to the RC51 in the garage. No complaints here.
As a new rider I just bought a 2002 f4i with only 22000 K, I’m glad I got to know the history of this bike and I think I will keep it for a very long time.
I have a 02 f4i and a 08 600rr. I LOVE them. The f4i is so much fun to ride, a freakin unit, and feels super light weight. All it needs is inverted forks. I just got the 08... One of the sexiest bikes I've ever seen, a lot faster than the f4i, so easy to ride, reliable.. Did I mention how sexy it is?? Never selling either bike. Both are iconic. I love Honda. Great video!! I've watched it multiple times!
Hero, I know this video is old, but your channel and Honda content has gotten me hooked and after a year and a half of riding my RC390 I decided to go out and I bought myself a first gen CBR600RR! I'm so excited to get this thing on the road and be able to use it!
Thank you for making this video. I own the 2004 600RR uk spec. Mine is fully black with a silver belly pan. It only has 7500 dry miles from new. Although I can no longer ride it because of having 2 Strokes I could never part with it. To me, my 04 model blures the lines between bike and pure art.i think it is beautiful and is my most treasured possession. The good memories always come back when I look at it and remember the times when I had two arms and legs that worked and thus could enjoy my bike. If any Hknda engineers read this, thank you, for your hard work to make my bike. I will always treasure it.
I have owned a Hurricane, F2, and an F3, and worked at Honda when the the first 600RR was released. The Honda 600's have always been great bikes to ride IMO. But I'm biased of course, I've owned no less than 30 Hondas in 28 years of riding and currently have 8 in the shed. '74 CB360G - Hex Green Metallic '75 CB550F - Flake Sunrise Orange '76 CB360T - Light Ruby Red '78 CB550K4 - Mostly Rust '86 NS400R - Rothmans '92 NSR250SP MC21 - Rothmans '92 VFR400R NC30 - Red/White/Blue '04 VTR1000 SP2 - Black/Red/Silver I'm a Honda guy until I die.
loved the video. just got into bikes last year and trained on a 1990 Honda VTR250 which is now 30 years old with only 24000 Km and we are the only owners. Last year I bought my first bike the 2005 CBR600RR and such a beautiful bike. Then watched your video and realized how amazing my bike is made me fall more in love with it. Thanks.
@@cavesuki8510 reliability and quality. Plus I got a buddy with a gsxr and my 07 cbr600rr is faster. It's just a great all around bike. Plus way way more comfortable. I did a 22 hr ride one weekend. I rode for 22 hrs straight...filled up about 14 times lol. I had a friend go with me and he had a cbr600rr and tbh I wasnt hurting when I got off.
I can attest... the 01’ F4i is an absolute unit. Great midrange torque, reliable, fast, and ergonomically impressive for a 600. Fantastic video, looking foreward to future history videos!
Yeah, the F4i was a pretty great bike, and so much more comfortable than modern 600's. I'm kind of curious about Honda's new cbr 650r, I sat on it at the IMS show and it felt very similar to the f4i. I would rather have a bike that can do 90% of what the 600rr can do, if it means I can ride more than a half hour at a time.
Jacob Gegg I use my F4i to commute to school and comfortability is a huge priority. I can confidently plan road trips knowing that I won’t be pulling over to readjust my spine every hour, plus it’s still got enough HP to keep up with other supersports. The new 650’s are definitely in that category of power and comfortability, I’d recommend for sure.
K0nst4nt1n96 That’s true, but that should be expected on a 650. I started on the 2017 rebel 300’s, so putting things in perspective a 650 is good enough in my opinion. It won’t be winning any races against 600’s, but it’ll be faster than most cars and a good time at least. If you can exceed freeway speeds, you’re chillin imo. Although you’re right, the older 600’s are bullet trains compared to modern 650’s
04' 600RR owner here. This bike is amazing. And after watching this video. I have no desire to upgrade to a newer bike. But then again, mine only 8000 miles on it and is nearly brand new still. Looks like I'll be looking for a 07' in the future. Thanks for the video!
dude, as an old man newbie, thinking about graduating from a silverwing moped, starting to crave some real power and the sport position, ive tested used cbr 500 & 600s, and looking at 99's to 2007's, with every year between, prices from 2500 to 6500, so you can imagine how helpful something like this video was to me, many, many, many, thanks dude...
Love your videos, I've just bought an 03 f4i condition wise its a bit like your 954, it was battered black and blue and needs put back its former glory, it strikes me the f4i is the perfect balance as a road bike between the 2 extremes of cbr600, much more modern, lighter and more powerful than the early bikes but not as track focused and hard edged as the RR Models. It was interesting to see all the different models in one video, so thanks for taking the time to put it together.
I got my first middle weight sports bike a week ago. I got a CBR 600 F4i from 2005. I was stuck between the SV650 and this. Best decision ever! It is comfortable around city and a rocket on the highway ❤🔥
I completely agree with the point that Honda has not been making the best 600 bike for a long time now... I don't know why they are hesitant with this segment... But I don't like the recent Honda bikes... Their strategy seems to have changed from being the pioneers and innovators to becoming mass producers of mopeds and scooters... I hope they get back to Mr. Honda's spirit of innovation... That's what made Honda the Honda that we know today...
First bike was the 87 Hurricane, I tricked it out in 91 ported, polished, pistons, balanced, cut the seat and stuck in a NOS, one of kind Muzzy exhaust and Fox shock from Duhamel's Daytona bike, it was fucking fast that could stop on a dime and handled like a Cadilac, tie wire holding the beat up plastic together , no thief took a second look at it :) Since then I've owned F3, F4i, 04, 07, 09, ------13, looking away from Honda now perhaps a Kawi is coming for me... Thank you so much for this video it brang back some great memories for me :)
I own a 07 CBR RR and I absolutely love it. It had been my dream bike ever since I was 13, when the Hurricane came out. It took me many years to make my dream come true but it was well worth waiting. Best looking bike ever, so smooth and fun to ride. Owning a CBR it's a religion on its own. Great video, thanks for all the facts about this awesome bike.
Absolutely love your videos. I had a 1995 CBR 600 many years ago and it was an amazing bike. I’ve just bought my first bike after many years and after seeing this history of the bike I’ve fallen in love again and I’ll be getting another CBR 600, probably the F4i. Thanks again. I really like how you tell the story about the evolution of the bike generations. Please keep them coming.
I was going to get a new leftover Suzuki Gsxs1000f but it didn't happen, watching your story videos and the one where you rode your VFR and it's garage friends, and afterwards I've super got a bug for late model sports bikes. Honestly want a sporty commute bike and the VFR is really attractive even if it doesn't have all the horsepowers and stuff. Smooth and quite comfy with sporty style, dang. There's an 07' just like yours and I might go check it out. Used bike low low miler and looks single owner garage kept. Just don't want to so this out of desperation. Peace man
For years I've felt Honda has gone down the can since late 2000's. Just general perception but can't really put my finger on it. You have no idea how much I love this video and the details and perspective you're providing. Thanks heroRR
man I just had to say thanks. This is the video I wanted to see when I left the like on your VFR history vid. You definitely came through, great vid. Its really odd how seeing the history of one of your favorite bikes progressed can really have an impact on you, some of the best designs IMO through out this line. The interceptor was the first bike I saw in the early 80's that made me realize that I WOULD be on a bike one day. The F4 was the first bike I saw, that made me realize WHICH one it would be. I still have slight panic attacks when I think about my 01 F4i finally giving up one day. I have absolutely no idea what could fill the hole that its going to leave in my core. She's not the most powerful bike out there, but definitely the most beautiful to me (her fat ass and all). My brothers R1 is fun to ride and all but there's just no love there.
My first CBR 600 F1 hurricane 1987. Now I have a CBR 600RR 2006. Personally my favourite year. I think 2003-2006 model was the best look for the bike. In my opinion it looks less aggressive in 2007+.
CBR is the best. Got an 06 in 2014 at 9k miles. About to hit 60k on it. Valves are still in spec, had zero issues with it. Take care of it and itll take care of you forever
I just bought an 07 and then watched this video, I’m so glad I got the 07 and it is absolutely the best looking cbr ever! I’m very happy with my purchase! It’s also my first sport bike!
Awesome video ... bravo !!!! nobody messed with the hurricane in the 80s except for the gsxr 750s n 1100s !!! the bike was a monster for its 600 engine. brought back so many memories- wheelie king 600 !!!
Love your videos, very well put together. I just wish the pic of my '01 F4i Miquel Duhamel replica would've made the cut for the video. ;). I was fortunate to be able to meet the rider of the '04 F4i w/300k mi on it thru CBR forums quite a while ago (10+ yrs ago). He had family in the 'burbs of Chicago and we met up around Thanksgiving. He rode up from Georgia, to Chicago area then over to Ohio in below 30 degree temps back home. Crazy! Thanks for posting such a great video and keep the rubber side down!
I still have your f4i pictures on my computer and plan on using them for future videos. I just already had the f4i part edited when I posted the question :( sorry, stay tuned and you'll probably see your bike pop up on another video I make :)
My wife's F4i was at 50k and running like a champ when she decided to go for the Triumph Daytona 675r back in 2015. She still has the Daytona. The first time I saw the F2's and F3's was in 1992 when I picked up my first Street bike, a KZ550 Zephyr. Those Honda's were in my rearview mirror...But they sure did look good back there :) Great video!!! I love this stuff!
Love your videos! The history of all the bikes you have done is spot on! I appreciate all your knowledge! Huge fan of your channel and all motorcycles! Thank you!
I love my 1999 CBR600F4. I have owned it for over 17 years now and it has 105,000 kms. I don't ride it as much now that I also own a 2013 Suzuki V-Strom 650. But that will always be my first and favorite motorcycle. Nice video.
I fxckn love this type of videos where you revised generations of bikes. If I could make you a little suggest, it would be nice when you talk about numbers of the bikes to put them on screen and in metric system too. I'm from Argentina, I study english language but it's a pain in the ass to stop the video and make the convertions hahaha. Thanks for the vids man
These are fantastic bikes!, I own a 2001 F4i, 2003 600RR (first year of 600RR), & 2013 600RR. I picked them up new, & all of them still have under 5k miles.
Mate, I really enjoy your videos but always I hear any interesting data in numbers, like the quarter mile time, or weights or speedometer in miles, whatever, blowns my mind. Could you try to use the international system units? Not hattin' at all, I just think you have an international audience that would be really pleased. Gonna keep watchin, ty for uploading! :D
I'll try my best for next time. These videos take so long to make that sometimes I forget. lol sorry, i'll write it down for next time and annotate it on the screen for you guys.
Speed x1.5 (1.6) Torque X1.33 Weight /2 It's close enough ;) The imperial units are interesting but if you are into metric units the imperial are crap to calculate (in any way) ;) Thx Hero :)
Awesome video our oldest son has a CBR600RR we got him his first bike a few years ago he rode around for a while and stepped up to a R6 rode for a year And go a CBR600RR
I have a 1987 Hurricane f1 red and black just hit 18k miles, looks brand new still, just had to remove the carbs to replace the carb bowl gaskets because they dry rotted causing it to leak fuel. My chain also just went out on me so Ill be replacing that and be back on the road in no time. Love this bike so much. I have also went 153 on that bike, I am the second owner Idk if they upgraded anything on it but I definitely hit 153 lol
I had the 2012 from 14:04, and I loved it. Even though I have a new fireblade, I still miss how the 600RR rode. Also had an 06 F4i before that for a while.
SUBSCRIBED!| Great Video. I loved how you included all the CBR600s in this video, and NOT just the CBR600s designated with the "RR". I am going to be up front and a little cocky when I say I think my opinions matter more than most. I have been riding Motorcycles since I was 12 years old (53 now), and have owned and/or raced an F2, F4, 1996 CBR900RR, 1999 R6, 2000 R1, and 2003 R6. I currently own a 2001 Ducati 996 (barn yard find that is getting worked on), and a 2024 CBR600RR, both bikes I bought in 2024. My 2024 600RR is a Gen5 RR, as we here in the USA have not gotten the Gen6 RRs yet like the rest of the world has. I just love my 600RR so much! It is a very analog bike that takes me back to my youth, and feels really no different than any "non electronics" motorcycles I have ridden in the past. I not only raced motorcycles, but also won! The 2024 CBR600RR in stock form has more than enough power for 99% of every person on this Earth; and in stock form, 90% of y'all will never use to its full potential. It is always 90% rider, the 10hp power increase that the 2008 600RRs have over the 2009+ 600RRs is really insignificant. I myself, use to race against, and whip GSXRs and R1s while I was on my 1999 R6. Only time power really matters is when you are consistently Top-10 in the Expert Class. Besides, it is so easy to get that 10% power back with a Cat Delete, Full Exhaust, and a reflash. With little work, any CBR600RR can get 120 HP at the rear wheel (which is about 21 HP over a stock CBR600RR). CBR600s (as well as all Inline-4 Supersport 600s) are the funnest bikes to ride, on the track or through the canyons, they are just fun bikes. There is something about winding up that 600 inline-4 motor that just feels great. Until this past year, I have NOT owned a street registered motorcycle since 2001. I decided I wanted to get into motorcycling again, and the only choice for me really was a 600 Supersport. My choice going in was the 600RR or the R6, but I was bummed to see the R6s were no longer made. The Kawi 636 was easily the best price, it is also the most powerful, and it had the best tech. I came close to buying the Kawi, but I just did NOT liked the way they looked. The GSXR600 was out of the question for me, only because I have never been a Suzuki guy (personal preference). Hondas have always been great bikes. No one beats Honda in reliability, rideability, and crash ability. Just like this video says, you can ride a CBR easily to 50K miles, if not 100k. CBRs are also the easiest Supersport bike to ride fast, and they also make great commuter bikes. All CBRs that I have had experience with, have always been great commuter bikes, and I was happy to see that my 2024 600RR had the great same CBR feel that I have always remembered with my F2, F4, and 900RR. Hondas can also take a beating and keep on ticking. I know this first hand. My F4 went down hard about 4 times (on the race tracks), and each time, I got nothing more than scratches. To me, one of the best looking motorcycles are the Gen5-CBR600RRs (2013-2025 in the USA). The 2024 especially looks amazing. It looks almost as sexy as my 2001 Ducati 996. The 2024s are especially sexy, they have the HRC red, white, and blue colors. The also have the sexy undertail exhaust (that 600RRs have had since 2003). The style of dual headlights also was a DEAL MAKER for me why I decided on the 2024 600RR over the others. I myself prefer the shape of the 2013-2025s than the 2003-2012 600RRs. The 2024s also had the gold forks, black wheels, black frame and black swingarm! again, these were all the colors I want with my bike. I really can't wait to see what I can do with the Big Piston Showa fork. Fork tuning makes a huge difference. Forks are really the most important part of the bike if you plan to take your bike to the track and push the limits. Once again, great video! takes me down memory lane, and I am happy to be riding again and RIDING RED AGAIN.
Just bought one 3 hours ago, a 2007 model. Even in 1.5 degrees pitch black dutch winter weather, freezing my ass off all the way home.. BUT! with a gigant smile on my face, what a great machine! cant wait for summer!
Great video. Thanks. I love the 600RR and have a 2003 race bike. The 2007 is an awesome bike, but fitting the fairings is a nightmare! I offered to rebuild a friends, who had crashed and totalled the fairings. What a job!
Just got my first bike, 2007 CBR600RR. I know its a monster and I respect the power, I am taking it slow. My dream would be to have this 07 600 and a 2012 CBR1000RR, both are my dream bikes.
I have the F4i F Sport and it was my first bike. I sold it after someone totaled it and bought a SV650. Almost a year later a friend of mine discovered a F4i with only 3200km (1988 mi) cheap af. I went to buy it and i am riding it since. Its fast, comfortable has storage space for 2 Bottles and Snacks, even my pillion likes it and you can do trackdays with it. I especially like the very neutral and balanced handling. I have ridden over 400km only with a fuel stop and had no problems with my wrists, its smooth torquey and is fairly quick. I think i will never sell this bike ever again. Also i had a crash with the SV650 and bought a sv 1000n to go along the cbr and i can say that i cant be happier! Also the 600rr pc 37 and pc40 is one of the best Track 600s i know of.
I’m rebuilding it 08 CBR600RR On my channel! I bought it wrecked and have been collecting parts. Watching this and subscribing to your channel is getting me excited to get this thing on the road!
Just watched all of this, and really enjoyed it, as a former owner of an F3, then later, an F4 Sport. Thankyou for making such enjoyable footage; brought back some great memories !
Excellent video - I remember standing outside my local Honda dealer at 16 years old, seeing a brand new white CBR 600 hurricane and dreaming of owning one but could never afford it and was always drawn the the next/newest model by the time prices were low enough to buy the old model - Now subscribed.
Love my 06 CBR600RR. Picked her up in August from a old fellow. He had 6 other bikes and his back hurts when he rides it. It only have 2k miles and the tires are still from 2005!!!
Thanks for watching everyone! Please subscribe for more motorcycle videos! :)
ever thought of researching a dirt bike??
Please Do the monster. For my money the 06, s2r/4r were the best.
Hey bro the pics u had asked to share fr cbr600rr whn can we see it ???
Another Great video. I actually own a 2006 Honda CBR600F4i myself, and it's a great ride. I was very happy to see you make a video on the CBR600 history.
Love your video. I've been riding for 1 season now (still a beginner). I have a gsxr 2011. What brand of oil do you recommended. I 've been seeing a lot of post about the Shell Rotella T6. Would you recommend this oil? Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I immediately went to the garage and looked under my factory fairings hanging in the garage and there it was. Right above the headlight on the underside! Dedicated to Dirk Vandenburg and Josef Boyd. The fairings were hanging in the garage as a testament to the abuse I've put this bike thru the last 16 years and it still keeps up with the big boys at the track. This bike owes me nothing, my hats off to you Mr Vandenburg and Boyd!
I have the same bike, bullet proof reliability
Mohapi Tau ó
That’s was AWSOME. Thanks for sharing 👌
SHOTS FIRED to Kawasaki.. with that Ninja hiding away from the hurricane back in 1987.
hahaha honda used to have an edge to them. I couldn't imagine them taking a shot at kawi like that today. lol
"I couldn't imagine them taking a shot at kawi like that today."
Because Honda is a piece of shit bike today. An experienced mechanic told me about shitty engine alloy Honda uses that's soft as fuck compared to Kawasaki engines, which leads to engine failures due to excessive wear way too early into their lifespan. Not to mention serious damage even when involved in minor drops. Why do you think Honda engines have the color of copper? Because they're probably made from it. lol
Here's an example: ruclips.net/video/2S6hwq41Pok/видео.html
Low speed drop resulting in massive damage to the engine and the frame.
@@mickeypopa So why does consumer reports have kawasaki in 3rd place with Suzuki and Honda in 2nd? Number don't lie bro. Yeah honda is using thinner alloy however their engines are not pushed as hard as Kawasakis and Honda refines their builds over years unlike Kawasaki who just trys new stuff without testing causing failures. *cough* Z900 *COUGH*
@Taijean Moodie
Why? Because those consumer reports have been bought with clever sales tactics and "deal sweeteners".
Honda and Suzuki may give you free heated grips while Kawasaki is probably going to charge separately for them. Honda and Suzuki will give you cruise control and ride-by-wire with riding modes while Kawasaki is going to have analogue throttle and no riding modes. Honda and Suzuki will put a fresh new TFT dash on their bikes while Kawasaki will still have old analogue+LCD one, etc.
And of course, consumers don't really care what's truly durable, only what's newer and fancier. They will change their bikes in a couple of years anyway so they don't really care which one will stand the test of time over 15-20 years. Do you? Probably not. Does Kawasaki? Absolutely. Why? Because ship engines they make are not replaced every 2-3 years, they run until the ship is scrapped 30 years later. They outlive the damn ship itself. That's the company motto, they stand by their products.
Back to bikes - I'm not saying electronic throttle is worse than analogue for example, or that TFT dash is worse than analogue+LCD, it's just new and interesting and one of the "creature comforts" most people want nowadays. Motorcycles are toys for many and the last thing they want is an outdated toy. They want fresh new stuff that they can feel proud about owning.
Yes, Kawasaki is a little bit stuck in the past when it comes to new things and electronics, but they sure as hell make more reliable motorcycles. They have the most experience in making all kinds of engines as a company and knowing how to make them right.
So if you want a truly "bulletproof engine" (a phrase tossed around a lot these days), then go for Kawasaki. If you want new fancy things and creature comforts, go for the other two.
@@mickeypopa I own a Kawasaki and Yamaha trust me I know Kawasakis are reliable. I have crashed my 2007 ninja 250 into a car, lowsided and dropped it 2 times. But she refused to die lol. As for my Yamaha just got it last year since my parents think that newer bikes are "better" according to what you said people want new toys not old. Its a 2009 Yamah fz6r so not super new but my God the brakes are way better!! However Honda has made a name for it self in the past where Kawasaki was known for dropping its valves. Its like how Hyundai is now somehow more reliable than a honda car however people won't accept it just because they only know about hondas past. Not gonna lie recently I feel like Yamaha has got more unreliable but somehow its in first place for reliable motorcycles? Hmm I feel like that report is a little bias. The thing is man I think people only think of Kawasakis racing bikes because they're known to leak oil even their 2013 636 however the bike did not die! It's just cause hondas and Suzuki can sound like garbage at old age but they don't leak and parts don't break off. It's not that Kawasaki can't engineer its that Honda and Suzuki underpower their bikes and cars by ALOT. The k5 Suzuki motor is capable of producing over the 180hp llimit it has but suzuki wanted the bike to last long where Kawasaki cares more about horsepower. As long as it's on two wheels I love all bikes man I do agree with you the reports are a little bias.
That was my bike 1987 CBR 600 Hurricane, pearl white. I had a matching helmet and leathers. I saw that commercial and went to the Honda dealership the next day and paid $3300 dollars for it. It was still in the crate, the first white one in Georgia. I was 19 and had the best summer of my life on that bike. Thanks for bringing back such good memories.
Nice man ... had the same story when j was 21 ...
My first bike was a 1989 cbr 600F. It was the “special edition” with the whole red, white and blue paint. And I still have the bike. Runs perfectly
Wow😮❤
Thats awesome 😁🏆🏆🏆
I have a 2008 as well. What an amazing machine it is. I had no idea how much of a gem the 2008 cbr600rr was until I bought it and got into everything about motorcycles. I then realized how lucky I was for unknowingly making an awesome choice of bike. I hope to never sell it 😎
07 CBR600RR white/silver/black fairing print right here! 🙋♂ I've had it for 7 years now and not a single issue. Always get compliments asking if it is a new model year 😎. Best RR ever!
Just bought a 2011 CBR600RR yesterday, it’s my first bike and I’m absolutely in love with it!
Awesome, man! How's the bike nowadays?
How much did you get it for, I’m looking to buy one soon
@@zip500f9 I got a 06RR for $3995 with 3000miles runs like a champ. Bought it about 4months ago . Raved a friend that has a R1 short distance and gapped him quick af!
Abs or nah
I just purchased a 2023 CBR 600RR no ABS I like the fact it has not been updated and it’s still old school with only the electronic damper as the only assisted aid. I also ride a RC51 SP1 and really like the CBR 600RR for in town commuting. It still looks gangster in my eyes and to the untrained eye looks like the $26,000 Fireblade RRR from a glance. I actually like the older style mirrors as well without the blinkers in them. It looks killer next to the RC51 in the garage. No complaints here.
As a new rider I just bought a 2002 f4i with only 22000 K, I’m glad I got to know the history of this bike and I think I will keep it for a very long time.
I have a 02 f4i and a 08 600rr. I LOVE them. The f4i is so much fun to ride, a freakin unit, and feels super light weight. All it needs is inverted forks. I just got the 08... One of the sexiest bikes I've ever seen, a lot faster than the f4i, so easy to ride, reliable.. Did I mention how sexy it is?? Never selling either bike. Both are iconic. I love Honda.
Great video!! I've watched it multiple times!
Please more history videos!
I want to hear more about history of honda,suzuki,kawasaki and other...
And big like for you!👍👍
Hero, I know this video is old, but your channel and Honda content has gotten me hooked and after a year and a half of riding my RC390 I decided to go out and I bought myself a first gen CBR600RR! I'm so excited to get this thing on the road and be able to use it!
The way you narrated the history made me watch the video again! I own a 2008 black and silver CBR 600 RR too. Awesome bike
Thank you for making this video.
I own the 2004 600RR uk spec.
Mine is fully black with a silver belly pan. It only has 7500 dry miles from new. Although I can no longer ride it because of having 2 Strokes I could never part with it. To me, my 04 model blures the lines between bike and pure art.i think it is beautiful and is my most treasured possession. The good memories always come back when I look at it and remember the times when I had two arms and legs that worked and thus could enjoy my bike.
If any Hknda engineers read this, thank you, for your hard work to make my bike. I will always treasure it.
Aww dude, cruel world
@Nick-Emery it is, but at least I did enjoy the fantastic experience of riding my bike when I could, for that I am extremely grateful.
I have owned a Hurricane, F2, and an F3, and worked at Honda when the the first 600RR was released. The Honda 600's have always been great bikes to ride IMO. But I'm biased of course, I've owned no less than 30 Hondas in 28 years of riding and currently have 8 in the shed.

What do you think of the cb 550 you own handling wise
Some absolute classics there
NC30 is a dream bike of mine
loved the video. just got into bikes last year and trained on a 1990 Honda VTR250 which is now 30 years old with only 24000 Km and we are the only owners. Last year I bought my first bike the 2005 CBR600RR and such a beautiful bike. Then watched your video and realized how amazing my bike is made me fall more in love with it. Thanks.
I have a 07 cbr600rr and I will never sell it. Best bike I have ever rode.
Dito
Same here
What makes it so good? Looking between a cb or gsxr
thats great but have you ever rode a grom?
@@cavesuki8510 reliability and quality. Plus I got a buddy with a gsxr and my 07 cbr600rr is faster. It's just a great all around bike. Plus way way more comfortable. I did a 22 hr ride one weekend. I rode for 22 hrs straight...filled up about 14 times lol. I had a friend go with me and he had a cbr600rr and tbh I wasnt hurting when I got off.
just upgraded from a 650 to a 2021 CBR600RR and I absolutely love it awesome video to see the history of these beautiful machines
I can attest... the 01’ F4i is an absolute unit. Great midrange torque, reliable, fast, and ergonomically impressive for a 600. Fantastic video, looking foreward to future history videos!
i love mine too
Yeah, the F4i was a pretty great bike, and so much more comfortable than modern 600's. I'm kind of curious about Honda's new cbr 650r, I sat on it at the IMS show and it felt very similar to the f4i. I would rather have a bike that can do 90% of what the 600rr can do, if it means I can ride more than a half hour at a time.
Jacob Gegg I use my F4i to commute to school and comfortability is a huge priority. I can confidently plan road trips knowing that I won’t be pulling over to readjust my spine every hour, plus it’s still got enough HP to keep up with other supersports. The new 650’s are definitely in that category of power and comfortability, I’d recommend for sure.
Duncan the new 650 is just not powerful enough. It looks good and rides okayish but doesnt have the bite the old 600s have.
K0nst4nt1n96 That’s true, but that should be expected on a 650. I started on the 2017 rebel 300’s, so putting things in perspective a 650 is good enough in my opinion. It won’t be winning any races against 600’s, but it’ll be faster than most cars and a good time at least. If you can exceed freeway speeds, you’re chillin imo. Although you’re right, the older 600’s are bullet trains compared to modern 650’s
Been riding my 2008 every year past ten years.
Absolutely love it, lightning fast
I had an 07 RR.. bought brand new... It was and still is my favorite bike I have ever owned..
Great video man! About to pickup an 06 CBR600RR tomorrow with only 415 miles on it and your video happened to pop up, great content.
How’s the bike? I have the same one 3k miles
@@King5Solid haha well im right around 3k miles too now! I fucking love the thing. Perfect bike imo
You love making this type of video and we love watching this type of video, keep up the awesome work.
04' 600RR owner here. This bike is amazing. And after watching this video. I have no desire to upgrade to a newer bike. But then again, mine only 8000 miles on it and is nearly brand new still. Looks like I'll be looking for a 07' in the future.
Thanks for the video!
Thumbs up. Tons of work making this, no doubt. We watched as a family on our big screen.
Thank you for the support! I'm glad you enjoyed! :)
dude, as an old man newbie, thinking about graduating from a silverwing moped, starting to crave some real power and the sport position, ive tested used cbr 500 & 600s, and looking at 99's to 2007's, with every year between, prices from 2500 to 6500, so you can imagine how helpful something like this video was to me, many, many, many, thanks dude...
Love your videos, I've just bought an 03 f4i condition wise its a bit like your 954, it was battered black and blue and needs put back its former glory, it strikes me the f4i is the perfect balance as a road bike between the 2 extremes of cbr600, much more modern, lighter and more powerful than the early bikes but not as track focused and hard edged as the RR Models. It was interesting to see all the different models in one video, so thanks for taking the time to put it together.
Great video dude. Well put together and I loved all the slide show pics
Had a 1989 hurricane, with over 70k miles and never had a problem ever. Great motorcycle!!
I got my first middle weight sports bike a week ago. I got a CBR 600 F4i from 2005. I was stuck between the SV650 and this. Best decision ever! It is comfortable around city and a rocket on the highway ❤🔥
I completely agree with the point that Honda has not been making the best 600 bike for a long time now... I don't know why they are hesitant with this segment... But I don't like the recent Honda bikes... Their strategy seems to have changed from being the pioneers and innovators to becoming mass producers of mopeds and scooters...
I hope they get back to Mr. Honda's spirit of innovation... That's what made Honda the Honda that we know today...
ExploratoryBehaviour ......yes this is true, but other bikes are catching up. So soon Honda will do their homework & come back with something awesome
Remember, all companies make the most profits from the cheap n reliable products they make💯😉
@@timjones7482 This is what I'm really hoping for 🤞🤞
First bike was the 87 Hurricane, I tricked it out in 91 ported, polished, pistons, balanced, cut the seat and stuck in a NOS, one of kind Muzzy exhaust and Fox shock from Duhamel's Daytona bike, it was fucking fast that could stop on a dime and handled like a Cadilac, tie wire holding the beat up plastic together , no thief took a second look at it :)
Since then I've owned F3, F4i, 04, 07, 09, ------13, looking away from Honda now perhaps a Kawi is coming for me...
Thank you so much for this video it brang back some great memories for me :)
Great video man. The cbr600 is so close to my heart. I really hope we get a new set up for 2020.
I think that the emissions are the biggest problem as you can see with the new r6. I hate to say it but it will never be the same :(
I own a 07 CBR RR and I absolutely love it. It had been my dream bike ever since I was 13, when the Hurricane came out. It took me many years to make my dream come true but it was well worth waiting. Best looking bike ever, so smooth and fun to ride. Owning a CBR it's a religion on its own. Great video, thanks for all the facts about this awesome bike.
i def appreciate your clarity and pace, esp with no "uhs and ums"
Absolutely love your videos. I had a 1995 CBR 600 many years ago and it was an amazing bike. I’ve just bought my first bike after many years and after seeing this history of the bike I’ve fallen in love again and I’ll be getting another CBR 600, probably the F4i. Thanks again. I really like how you tell the story about the evolution of the bike generations. Please keep them coming.
Was about to buy an 09 and watched this video now I own the 08 😁
I got a 09 and its amazing. Looked for a 07-08 but prices were so high for beat ups. Glad you found one.
Geo Wu Neo just bought a 09 last week my first bike thing is a beauty
Just got an 08 too. Best decision ever. I was going to get an 05.
2007-2012 was the best version in my opinion
I was going to get a new leftover Suzuki Gsxs1000f but it didn't happen, watching your story videos and the one where you rode your VFR and it's garage friends, and afterwards I've super got a bug for late model sports bikes. Honestly want a sporty commute bike and the VFR is really attractive even if it doesn't have all the horsepowers and stuff. Smooth and quite comfy with sporty style, dang. There's an 07' just like yours and I might go check it out. Used bike low low miler and looks single owner garage kept. Just don't want to so this out of desperation. Peace man
For years I've felt Honda has gone down the can since late 2000's. Just general perception but can't really put my finger on it.
You have no idea how much I love this video and the details and perspective you're providing.
Thanks heroRR
man I just had to say thanks.
This is the video I wanted to see when I left the like on your VFR history vid. You definitely came through, great vid.
Its really odd how seeing the history of one of your favorite bikes progressed can really have an impact on you, some of the best designs IMO through out this line.
The interceptor was the first bike I saw in the early 80's that made me realize that I WOULD be on a bike one day. The F4 was the first bike I saw, that made me realize WHICH one it would be.
I still have slight panic attacks when I think about my 01 F4i finally giving up one day. I have absolutely no idea what could fill the hole that its going to leave in my core. She's not the most powerful bike out there, but definitely the most beautiful to me (her fat ass and all). My brothers R1 is fun to ride and all but there's just no love there.
The 2007-08 model was by FAR the best sport bike Honda has ever made and the best looking and I honestly don't think it's even close for real.
My first CBR 600 F1 hurricane 1987. Now I have a CBR 600RR 2006. Personally my favourite year. I think 2003-2006 model was the best look for the bike. In my opinion it looks less aggressive in 2007+.
CBR is the best. Got an 06 in 2014 at 9k miles. About to hit 60k on it. Valves are still in spec, had zero issues with it. Take care of it and itll take care of you forever
Absolutely spot on mate! Keep these history videos coming, especially on hondas 😎
I just bought an 07 and then watched this video, I’m so glad I got the 07 and it is absolutely the best looking cbr ever! I’m very happy with my purchase! It’s also my first sport bike!
❤️
Well done man! Put together very well. Thanks for the enjoyable history lesson 😊 🏍
Great video. I own the CBR600f4i (2005). Rode about 5000km on it in the past 7 months. Amazing trustworthy bike!
Great video HeroRR, can't wait to see the history of the Balckbird Video 🤗
Awesome video ... bravo !!!! nobody messed with the hurricane in the 80s except for the gsxr 750s n 1100s !!! the bike was a monster for its 600 engine. brought back so many memories- wheelie king 600 !!!
Love your videos, very well put together. I just wish the pic of my '01 F4i Miquel Duhamel replica would've made the cut for the video. ;). I was fortunate to be able to meet the rider of the '04 F4i w/300k mi on it thru CBR forums quite a while ago (10+ yrs ago). He had family in the 'burbs of Chicago and we met up around Thanksgiving. He rode up from Georgia, to Chicago area then over to Ohio in below 30 degree temps back home. Crazy! Thanks for posting such a great video and keep the rubber side down!
I still have your f4i pictures on my computer and plan on using them for future videos. I just already had the f4i part edited when I posted the question :( sorry, stay tuned and you'll probably see your bike pop up on another video I make :)
Michael Cescato ayy I submitted my 01’ F4i too. Respect
My wife's F4i was at 50k and running like a champ when she decided to go for the Triumph Daytona 675r back in 2015. She still has the Daytona. The first time I saw the F2's and F3's was in 1992 when I picked up my first Street bike, a KZ550 Zephyr. Those Honda's were in my rearview mirror...But they sure did look good back there :)
Great video!!! I love this stuff!
Love your videos! The history of all the bikes you have done is spot on! I appreciate all your knowledge! Huge fan of your channel and all motorcycles! Thank you!
Thank you so much! :)
@@HeroRR You are very welcome!!
Awesome video! I own a 07 CBR600RR. This is my 3rd. Best bike I've ever ridden. Hands down.
The 90's was the golden age for superbikes.
I love my 1999 CBR600F4. I have owned it for over 17 years now and it has 105,000 kms. I don't ride it as much now that I also own a 2013 Suzuki V-Strom 650. But that will always be my first and favorite motorcycle. Nice video.
I've been waiting for this video for so long now❤️
I love this type of content.
I fxckn love this type of videos where you revised generations of bikes. If I could make you a little suggest, it would be nice when you talk about numbers of the bikes to put them on screen and in metric system too. I'm from Argentina, I study english language but it's a pain in the ass to stop the video and make the convertions hahaha.
Thanks for the vids man
I'm going to definitely do that for now on! Thank you! :)
These are fantastic bikes!, I own a 2001 F4i, 2003 600RR (first year of 600RR), & 2013 600RR. I picked them up new, & all of them still have under 5k miles.
Dude! I had the same experience watching Small Soldiers. Also I remember seeing the Kawasaki ZX7 in True Lies with Arnold Schwarzenegger
Out of the waaaaaaayyyhh!!! (Zooommmm).............🐎 sorry
Glad you included the original Hurricane, I had the Black and Red first year version...never saw that commercial...too cool !
I have never wanted the 2007 Honda CBR600RR more than I do right now. Awesome video.
Mate, I really enjoy your videos but always I hear any interesting data in numbers, like the quarter mile time, or weights or speedometer in miles, whatever, blowns my mind.
Could you try to use the international system units? Not hattin' at all, I just think you have an international audience that would be really pleased.
Gonna keep watchin, ty for uploading! :D
I'll try my best for next time. These videos take so long to make that sometimes I forget. lol sorry, i'll write it down for next time and annotate it on the screen for you guys.
No way. Learn the Freedom Units.
mate just open another tab and convert them...easy as. americans love imperialism....god save the queen!
....and the fascist regime!!!
Speed x1.5 (1.6)
Torque X1.33
Weight /2
It's close enough ;)
The imperial units are interesting but if you are into metric units the imperial are crap to calculate (in any way) ;)
Thx Hero :)
@@johannesdatblue4164 LoL 😂 yea....
Awesome video our oldest son has a CBR600RR we got him his first bike a few years ago he rode around for a while and stepped up to a R6 rode for a year And go a CBR600RR
Subbed. This is exactly the kind of channel I've been looking for. Yammie is good, but this is great!
I have a 1987 Hurricane f1 red and black just hit 18k miles, looks brand new still, just had to remove the carbs to replace the carb bowl gaskets because they dry rotted causing it to leak fuel. My chain also just went out on me so Ill be replacing that and be back on the road in no time. Love this bike so much. I have also went 153 on that bike, I am the second owner Idk if they upgraded anything on it but I definitely hit 153 lol
Make a video on the blackbird. Lookin frwd!
Please!!!!
I Had a poster on My bedroom wall, with the Bike next to the Blackbird Plane, I used to Dream of getting one when I was older, got F2 what I Love...
Beautiful work of art 💯
IMO the 2005-06 CBR600RR is the best looking one, maybe not the best in power and weight but still good enough for me :)
I agree
Hell yeah I own a 06
I have too from 2006 (PC37) and it's to fast for me xd (before i riding chinese 125cc 11hp)
I had the 2012 from 14:04, and I loved it. Even though I have a new fireblade, I still miss how the 600RR rode. Also had an 06 F4i before that for a while.
Please do a Yamaha R1/R6 history if you dont mind.
Just picked up an 04 CBR600RR and I’m so stoked!
Nice job again. I think the music should be quieter; mbe I'm wrong.
Not wrong.
Agreed
Nah...its fine..it ain't broke fellas...😂
I pretty sure it was hypnotic. Just glad I wasn't the only one. Started wondering if I was going to instructed to.... Never mind.
agree
Awesome. I’ve ridden them all and nothing beats the 2007/8 models. Keep up the great work! 👍😎
are you going to make more videos about the other 600's?
peter gibson yes
SUBSCRIBED!|
Great Video. I loved how you included all the CBR600s in this video, and NOT just the CBR600s designated with the "RR".
I am going to be up front and a little cocky when I say I think my opinions matter more than most. I have been riding Motorcycles since I was 12 years old (53 now), and have owned and/or raced an F2, F4, 1996 CBR900RR, 1999 R6, 2000 R1, and 2003 R6.
I currently own a 2001 Ducati 996 (barn yard find that is getting worked on), and a 2024 CBR600RR, both bikes I bought in 2024. My 2024 600RR is a Gen5 RR, as we here in the USA have not gotten the Gen6 RRs yet like the rest of the world has. I just love my 600RR so much! It is a very analog bike that takes me back to my youth, and feels really no different than any "non electronics" motorcycles I have ridden in the past.
I not only raced motorcycles, but also won! The 2024 CBR600RR in stock form has more than enough power for 99% of every person on this Earth; and in stock form, 90% of y'all will never use to its full potential. It is always 90% rider, the 10hp power increase that the 2008 600RRs have over the 2009+ 600RRs is really insignificant. I myself, use to race against, and whip GSXRs and R1s while I was on my 1999 R6. Only time power really matters is when you are consistently Top-10 in the Expert Class. Besides, it is so easy to get that 10% power back with a Cat Delete, Full Exhaust, and a reflash. With little work, any CBR600RR can get 120 HP at the rear wheel (which is about 21 HP over a stock CBR600RR).
CBR600s (as well as all Inline-4 Supersport 600s) are the funnest bikes to ride, on the track or through the canyons, they are just fun bikes. There is something about winding up that 600 inline-4 motor that just feels great.
Until this past year, I have NOT owned a street registered motorcycle since 2001. I decided I wanted to get into motorcycling again, and the only choice for me really was a 600 Supersport. My choice going in was the 600RR or the R6, but I was bummed to see the R6s were no longer made. The Kawi 636 was easily the best price, it is also the most powerful, and it had the best tech. I came close to buying the Kawi, but I just did NOT liked the way they looked. The GSXR600 was out of the question for me, only because I have never been a Suzuki guy (personal preference).
Hondas have always been great bikes. No one beats Honda in reliability, rideability, and crash ability. Just like this video says, you can ride a CBR easily to 50K miles, if not 100k. CBRs are also the easiest Supersport bike to ride fast, and they also make great commuter bikes. All CBRs that I have had experience with, have always been great commuter bikes, and I was happy to see that my 2024 600RR had the great same CBR feel that I have always remembered with my F2, F4, and 900RR.
Hondas can also take a beating and keep on ticking. I know this first hand. My F4 went down hard about 4 times (on the race tracks), and each time, I got nothing more than scratches.
To me, one of the best looking motorcycles are the Gen5-CBR600RRs (2013-2025 in the USA). The 2024 especially looks amazing. It looks almost as sexy as my 2001 Ducati 996. The 2024s are especially sexy, they have the HRC red, white, and blue colors. The also have the sexy undertail exhaust (that 600RRs have had since 2003). The style of dual headlights also was a DEAL MAKER for me why I decided on the 2024 600RR over the others. I myself prefer the shape of the 2013-2025s than the 2003-2012 600RRs. The 2024s also had the gold forks, black wheels, black frame and black swingarm! again, these were all the colors I want with my bike.
I really can't wait to see what I can do with the Big Piston Showa fork. Fork tuning makes a huge difference. Forks are really the most important part of the bike if you plan to take your bike to the track and push the limits.
Once again, great video! takes me down memory lane, and I am happy to be riding again and RIDING RED AGAIN.
History of the Honda CB line or specifically the CB750

'05 636 boiiiiiii. No idea what Kawasaki was thinking with the '19 model tho. Good grief
@@viveremilitareest9281 I SAID THE SAME THING. It looks like it got hit by the grinch...

Great video. Thanks. I love the 600RR and have a 2003 race bike. The 2007 is an awesome bike, but fitting the fairings is a nightmare! I offered to rebuild a friends, who had crashed and totalled the fairings. What a job!
Just got my first bike, 2007 CBR600RR. I know its a monster and I respect the power, I am taking it slow. My dream would be to have this 07 600 and a 2012 CBR1000RR, both are my dream bikes.
This is awesome!! I’m also a Massachusetts rider and i currently own a 1998 CBR 600 F3. I plan to create more content on RUclips this year. 👍
I’ve always been a CBR guy and I agree with you 100%!!! The 07-08 were AMAZING!!!!
Great video! I just bought myself an '04 CBR600RR for track racing and I am so stoked! I love the '04-'08 are the best bikes on the market even today!
I have the F4i F Sport and it was my first bike. I sold it after someone totaled it and bought a SV650. Almost a year later a friend of mine discovered a F4i with only 3200km (1988 mi) cheap af. I went to buy it and i am riding it since. Its fast, comfortable has storage space for 2 Bottles and Snacks, even my pillion likes it and you can do trackdays with it. I especially like the very neutral and balanced handling. I have ridden over 400km only with a fuel stop and had no problems with my wrists, its smooth torquey and is fairly quick. I think i will never sell this bike ever again. Also i had a crash with the SV650 and bought a sv 1000n to go along the cbr and i can say that i cant be happier!
Also the 600rr pc 37 and pc40 is one of the best Track 600s i know of.
Great job brother.. I use to own a 1988 Hurricane.. Now i have the best bike in our opinion ever. 2008 600 CBR rr..
I’m rebuilding it 08 CBR600RR On my channel! I bought it wrecked and have been collecting parts. Watching this and subscribing to your channel is getting me excited to get this thing on the road!
This is the best cbr documentary I've ever seen. Thank you. Great job.
I’ve watched this whole video like 6 times now. It’s so well done and the pictures are just awesome
I have a 2019 CBR600RR and I had a 500 CBR 2018 definitely great bikes I enjoy the history of the video good stuff toknow
My first bike is a 2001 CBR 600F ( F3 i think ) after watching this I want a 2007/08 CBR 600rr !! Great video 👍🏻
I just bought 2010 CBR 600, after watching this video I realised that I have bought something special. Thanks for such a great informative video.
Just watched all of this, and really enjoyed it, as a former owner of an F3, then later, an F4 Sport. Thankyou for making such enjoyable footage; brought back some great memories !
Excellent video - I remember standing outside my local Honda dealer at 16 years old, seeing a brand new white CBR 600 hurricane and dreaming of owning one but could never afford it and was always drawn the the next/newest model by the time prices were low enough to buy the old model - Now subscribed.
Owner of one 2000 black CBR600F4. Very happy with the oldie :)
Love my 06 CBR600RR. Picked her up in August from a old fellow. He had 6 other bikes and his back hurts when he rides it. It only have 2k miles and the tires are still from 2005!!!
I had, and raced a 92 F2. Loved that bike! I now have a 03 rr. It's definitely evolution.
