It's a slower version with winglets and unnecessary rider aids for a 600. Our version is genuinely better unless you base your 600 purchase off of what screen it has for gauges.
I just checked and the non ABS decade-old CBR is literally $1000 more expensive than the non ABS modern ZX6R. What the f*ck?? I understand getting the CBR if you want an analog machine, but for more cash than a modern bike while their tooling has been paid years ago? Wow.
That so true 2025 model but features and tech is so 2005...I own the first fuel Injected f4i I'm guessing it's better than these 2025 when it comes to ergos
I dont think people realize that this bike still being manufactured and sold today is basically like if you could go to the dealership right now and buy a brand new zero owner nissan r34 skyline or mk4 supra. The big sweeping analog tach alone is enough to put this bike toward the top of my "seriously considering" list. Its basically a mid 00's era sport bike that you can still buy brand new today. I think thats absolutely insane and i want one.
well said. the people complaining can't be serious people. If I could buy a new mk4 supra I would get one all day. same reason this bike is my favorite 600 still being made
I get that, but hell for $1000 less the zx6r can get a little more power, quick shifter, upgraded design. More bang for your buck. I love my cbr, but would have loved to see the new one come this way :(
Of the 4 bikes I've owned, none of them had rider aids, not even ABS. So I appreciate how Honda has kept this bike pure and old school in form. I believe tho, that for the price, the CBR is not a good value while the ZX6R exists.
@@jayc3274or go with a 800cc yamaha inline 4 for a more street focused bike at dirt cheap. Ppl forgot they exist. It’s basically the cbr650r with a lot more torque
@@MarissaTheMuse, do you really believe this bike is worth $12.2k? The ZX6R is the same price, and we get more power, quick shifter, slipper clutch, and rider modes. I love the Gen5 600RR but it should be at least $1k less than the 636.
Okay so, I bought one just like the one you rode - Agree with you on the powerband RPMs. You can cruise around all day long without a care in the world at 3500 to 5000. It's 0-70 in first gear if you want. It gets a little punchy around 7000-8500 RPM. And it is a "hang-the-F-on" going from 10500 to 15,000. You better mean it, because it's like RIGHT NOW! Fun as hell. What a blast, in the canyons at 7,000 to 10,000 it is everything you want, and if you want to really have fun, like a sporting event fun, it's amazing after 10K in the canyons, engine slows you down rapidly when you let off and it will give you a rush coming out of every corner as you go upright just open-her-up. Love it so far. Less than 1,000 miles on mine still.
Buy a Daytona 675, get it punched out to a 711, and your done. You've got a 600 with 750 performance. Mines at about 142 hp at the crank. Hankshaw sells the kits.
@skylerbentley8713 Yeah, you could but its going to weight a lot more and have a wildly different frame angle. With the modded Daytona your hitting above your weight even by today's standard and your staying in the Supersport class. Once big bore i would recommend something else as well for sure. Prob a HP4 or V4
@@kennethbranson4711 shouldnt weigh too much more. Isnt a mt09 like 420? Idk about r9 but id say its not much more. Plus zx6r or gsxr750 would spank the 675. Yea i want a v4 myself but am broke 😅
Underseat exhaust, tft display, fireblade technology, the cbr600rr is a great little supersport. I'm actually looking forward to getting the 2025 model in the UK.
OC, I think it's freaking sick. It looks good and the fact it is old school will make a lot of people happy. This review got me a little extra hyped for a personal reason. I'm about to buy my co-worker's 1999 CBR600F4 for $1000. I know a 600 is NOT the ideal pick for a first bike, but the price couldn't be beat. I'm looking forward to more videos from you, and I'm excited to be able to start my riding journey, FINALLY, this coming season. Be safe, have fun, and enjoy the holidays Chase.
Still watching as I type but it’s crazy that this bike has not changed a bit. My 2016 CBR 600 RR looked exactly the same minus the paint job. I absolutely loved that bike thought. Easy to speed without trying 😂
Center exit exhaust is always the best. I'm OCD... I bought two other Hondas, sold them both, got a CBR for center exit. It might be such a weird thing to some, but if a bike has a side exit and they're NOT duals... I can't bring myself to buy it. It is what it is.
Crazy that a lot of new bikes are parts bin bike. Same ass mirrors, brakes, forks, etc. used in mid 2000. They got rid of the under tail exhaust due to top heavy weight displacement, and now brought it back. I guess it looks cool to kids.
@@bpowaso your argument makes no sense. How did “they” get rid of it and bring it back. Can’t tell if you’re one of those people that can’t admit when they made a simple error of memory or if you’re just gaslighting us into believing your first comment and your follow up say remotely the same thing
@@MarissaTheMuse Who said I was arguing. You have an opinion and I will have mines. I am sure you never rode any sportsbike in early to min 2000. Go pull up oem part numbers and prove yourself wrong.
Nice video Chase.Might come as a surprise to many in the US but this bike is actually the 2020 version. The UK got the Honda with winglets and TFT dash in 2021. Here is Australia nobody is touching this bike as it's priced more than litre bikes. Can't make sense of Honda's thinking.
I do appreciate that we are back to doing pretty bikes, the other bikes were cool but the looks, the paint scheme and no rider aids!!! Sweetly refreshing I actually enjoyed looking at this one even to the controls and the dash.
I have the 2024 model here in the U.K. and for £10k it’s a steal and everyone loves them for our twistys. The tech on it is great for the money, I can’t understand why they would restrict the US market with this dated model, it makes no sense at all.
So I am a new rider and I bought the 2012 model of this vehicle used. I have not ridden it seriously as yet but I always wanted this bike or the zx-6r. I got this one because the price was right. I am looking forward to riding it and sharing my experience...
Love my 2007 CBR 600RR (and '07 1000RR Big Brother) just because they are one of the last pure rider controlled platform bikes. Now, I'm not discounting the ABS and rider assist technology integrated on many bikes now, but they are only as helpful as you think that they are. If you learn without it, then it is just a plus because you have it now. Raw and I am in control. Glad to see the under tail exhaust come back on the CBR. Appreciate the video.....highly recommend ASV levers, Power Commander, Wave rotors and Galfer SS braid race brake lines.
I like not having any aids. That kind of set up is something for me no doubt about it. Great video! I’m glad you can appreciate not having rider aids and it seemed like you liked it quite a bit 😃
I have a ZX6R from the same generation as this old CBR, and I agree except for the lack of ABS. In the street there is no reason any bike should not have it by now. Yes these are track bikes but they are also street legal and most people use them on the street.
I totally agree with you, Chase, the rear exhaust should be a must on all super sports haha but that’s what makes the CBR 600 so cool. I actually really like the simplicity of the bike! Shame it doesn’t come standard with ABS but at least there’s an option to have that included. I used to have a 2007 CBR 600 as my second bike and I loved it. Despite having to fight a little to make it haul ass at the higher revs, I think that can be a good thing because it gives the rider the power in a humble kinda way. I even dare say the 600rr could be a good starter bike if the rider is really enthusiastic about wanting to ride but at the same time doesn’t want to feel overwhelmed with all power. It can smoothly let you get used to the speed that a 600 is capable of.
I’m a dork for my opinion on this one and like to say sorry for saying the things I said. Thank you for the time to make this video and helping others to see the difference between everyone’s perspective. Still a cool bike if that’s your style. Stay safe
This is exactly the same as the 2013 model. It’s an awesome bike, and I owned a Grand Prix Tri-Color 2021 model, but stretching the model year this long is an absolute shame. Honda really can’t make a decision here. I suppose if anyone wants an actual RAW Supersport that’s brand new, this CBR is your ONLY option (ABS is optional btw), but other than that, just buy a used one from 2013 and save your money.
@@dacarguru7983 I don’t mind an old model provided that it’s priced accordingly. My current bike only has a slipper clutch and ABS, and i love it. Would i buy the exact same bike if it’s sold today? Yes.. Would i buy it if they price it similar to more modern bikes that have more features? Nope.
I have a 2015 cbr600rr, which is exactly the same bike. Which is also the same as the 2013. It's an awesome bike but its basically unchanged since the early cbr600's. There's nothing wrong with that but it certainly is dated for its time. I daily drive mine and don't agree that you cant for a bike like this, but i do think most people should aim for bikes with driver aids and its just safer and makes more sense. However, there will always be something special about riding the more pure and mechanical type bikes that is becoming a thing of the past.
The CBR has literally stayed unchanged mechanically since 2007. I owned a 2008, and have ridden a 2015, and the only difference was the body work, the RPM tach numbering was made more modern looking, and it received Showa forks. The 2025 is still the same since 2013. I am surprised that you didn't notice Chase. Great video though and glad you love how it is still being made.
The zx6r is objectively the most modern, and up to date bike in terms of tech, performance, and styling. Unless you like the Suzuki ergonomically, there is no reason to shell out 12k on anything but the zx6r.
I bought my 2007 CBR 600rr brand new for $7,999, and I really don't think its any better has anything changed in 18years?.. Thats crazy how many of these have been sold for near 20yrs.. Mine has 85k miles and it still has never had a single issue.. Granted it doesn't get used much for the last 12yrs..
What Honda does best is essentially everything. But, going back to the 80s, they were using tube frames long after all the others left them behind. Yet, magazines still often rated them as the best. I used to be appalled at that. But, since we have watched many manufacturers dance back and forth between tube frame and twin-spar, again and again, with a variety of models. Honda just knows what they're doing...
I have a 2007 one of these..... I'm surprised that the new model has no torque or that the power doesn't kick in until 10k rpm..... Mine lights up at about 5k and pulls away in high gears in town.... It's not a town bike though, and mine runs hot at low speeds as well.... It's a super sport after all....... Out on the highway it's in it's element and a true joy to ride..............
See @ 9:00 you’re going 50 @ 7k rpm in a split second and at a fraction of the throttle. You took that turn at 15mph 3k rpm and 1.5 seconds later you were in the 50’s at 7k rpm and you’ve got thousands of rpm left. How is that gutless.
Nice review, as usual. RE 24:55: What about the GSX-R 600? Pretty much as raw and pure as this, wouldn't you say? How does this compare to the the Gixxer sixer?
@ I think there is a chance we will get it in 2026. The uk bikes are still being delivered with delays. US is always 1 year late . Let's see - I'm hopeful
@@goldfish8196there is a version of the cbr1k that looks like a RRR but it’s a regular cbr1k. But Honda won’t release it here in the states. So we get the same 1k since 2017 lol oh but in 2025 it’s white that’s new 😂
@daisbestDA9 I've never been a fan of Honda and their dated technology. Meanwhile, you've got Kawasaki out here bringing back 400cc inline 4s. Why? Because they can theyre competing with themselves at this point.
Suzuki’s GSX-R 750 blows this away. 150hp, cheaper, more comfortable around town and MUCH FASTER. it’s also very analog and hasn’t been updated since 2011.
It's definitely not cheaper than its 600cc rivals, but the bigger issue is actually finding one on a showroom floor that isn't already sold. If the opportunity arises though, I absolutely agree that it's a no-brainer.
@@Mediarahan003 At least in California, you’ll find deals on new Suzuki 750s that undercut Honda’s 600 by at least $1,000 and good luck finding any deals on a new Honda. $11,500 for the Suzuki and around $12,900 for the Honda. And the 750 isn’t hard to find, at least in my area.
6:43 but you’re in 1st gear doing 30mph cruising at a steady speed…what do you need torque for??? The moment you need torque drop a gear and the revs will soar incredibly fast delivering the power you need without issue…if “power” to yall Is literally just The ability to twist the throttle in any gear and have INSTANT torque at any speed than yea of course this isn’t for you. But the bikes that do that can’t rev as high or as fast or as freely but nobody ever talks about those p twins as being “gutless” up top and low revving like a diesel
Bit of a thoughtless double standard going on is my point. Ppl act like those naked twins do both and these high revving bikes only do one and that couldn’t be less accurate
Wow crazy how an F4I in 6th gear will chug right along on the highway. Very rare to find myself down shifting to make a pass. I wonder if ecu flash is what it needs and if a cat definitely delete that lol.
Hello Chase how are you? I'm confused ...the 2024 CBR 600RR is fully loaded! All electronics damper combined abs 6 axis etc.... Also here in Columbia SC we have the bike and it's only 12 , 199 Ps: up/down quick shift too 5inch TFT But this is all on the ABS
Dude, I read about the host of new updates for the 2025 model and went over to Mtn Motorsports to check it out, only to find that the US gets the old 2017 model with a new paint color... 😞
Love the fact Honda keeps all the techy crap off this bike. But at the same time I’m getting tired of Honda not bringing bikes to the US. Really wanted a new Hornet when they were announced a couple years ago. It’s still not available in the US.
I think they should bring back the hi/low shifter. On these low torque bikes it would likely help in town riding. I had it on my old cb900c and it almost felt useless on that bike since it had decent tq . Just a thought. I've never owned a bike with rider aids😂. Thirty plus years riding. Fzr1k, rf900r,zx6, to name a few of the bikes I've owned. Looking at a pan America as my next bike. It'll be interesting to check out the nannies
I truly have a suspision that this is not the new MY25. I dont know wether this is some package that we dont have available. But The 2025 model when i check hondas websites have the wings and a TFT display. This one has neither.
It’s unacceptable for Honda to not bring the updated 600rr to North America. Mind-boggling.
This!
It's a slower version with winglets and unnecessary rider aids for a 600. Our version is genuinely better unless you base your 600 purchase off of what screen it has for gauges.
so?
Nah but it does look really good tho. I like the newer version and how it looks.
They do the same for the cbr1000rr also and it's sad..
New for 2025, the 2013 Honda CBR 600 RR!
I just checked and the non ABS decade-old CBR is literally $1000 more expensive than the non ABS modern ZX6R. What the f*ck?? I understand getting the CBR if you want an analog machine, but for more cash than a modern bike while their tooling has been paid years ago? Wow.

Waiting for the legitimate version to get shipped.
What Honda does best is essentially everything. But, going back to the 80s, they were using tube frames long after all the others left them behind. Yet, magazines still often rated them as the best. I used to be appalled at that. But, since we have watched many manufacturers dance back and forth between tube frame and twin-spar, again and again, with a variety of models. Honda just knows what they're doing...
I have a 2007 one of these..... I'm surprised that the new model has no torque or that the power doesn't kick in until 10k rpm..... Mine lights up at about 5k and pulls away in high gears in town.... It's not a town bike though, and mine runs hot at low speeds as well.... It's a super sport after all....... Out on the highway it's in it's element and a true joy to ride..............
This looks like my 600rr from 2011 lol, which is great because I love it.
Amazing job upselling a bare-bones bike, now I want one too.
i have the 2021 600rr w out abs such a fun bike sure id love that digital display tho
See @ 9:00 you’re going 50 @ 7k rpm in a split second and at a fraction of the throttle. You took that turn at 15mph 3k rpm and 1.5 seconds later you were in the 50’s at 7k rpm and you’ve got thousands of rpm left. How is that gutless.
14:37 Not Chase doing 114 on the highway 🫣
And what's funny is 114 is nothing for a 600 😂
Nice review, as usual. RE 24:55: What about the GSX-R 600? Pretty much as raw and pure as this, wouldn't you say? How does this compare to the the Gixxer sixer?
This bike is pretty close to perfect honda makes the best street motorcycle on the market
Mandatory seat warmer.
Cannot wait for Honda to bring the updated version. My wallet is ready
lol you might as well import it at this point. I doubt we getting it
@ I think there is a chance we will get it in 2026. The uk bikes are still being delivered with delays. US is always 1 year late . Let's see - I'm hopeful
@@goldfish8196 I hope so, but after what they did with the cbr1k I doubt it
@@Weaponx9x what did they do ? cut power?
@@goldfish8196there is a version of the cbr1k that looks like a RRR but it’s a regular cbr1k. But Honda won’t release it here in the states. So we get the same 1k since 2017 lol oh but in 2025 it’s white that’s new 😂
I swear i saw honda released a newer model since 2022 with the TFT dash, new lights, and allat.
You guys at the states didn’t get that??
Nope, we got left out.
DRZ proves how long a they can keep calling a bike new with legacy updates etc. Only took till this coming year from the 80's.
um. Dr650 takes this further lol.
Theres no way to financially justify buying this over a ZX6R period!
Never been a fan of kawasaki, don't care that it's faster
@daisbestDA9 I've never been a fan of Honda and their dated technology. Meanwhile, you've got Kawasaki out here bringing back 400cc inline 4s. Why? Because they can theyre competing with themselves at this point.
@@daisbestDA9why?
why such hate?
Suzuki’s GSX-R 750 blows this away. 150hp, cheaper, more comfortable around town and MUCH FASTER. it’s also very analog and hasn’t been updated since 2011.
It's definitely not cheaper than its 600cc rivals, but the bigger issue is actually finding one on a showroom floor that isn't already sold. If the opportunity arises though, I absolutely agree that it's a no-brainer.
Isn't it closer to 140
@@fj5434 It’s rated at 149hp at the crank and all factory numbers are crank, not rear wheel (including the Honda)
@@Mediarahan003 At least in California, you’ll find deals on new Suzuki 750s that undercut Honda’s 600 by at least $1,000 and good luck finding any deals on a new Honda. $11,500 for the Suzuki and around $12,900 for the Honda. And the 750 isn’t hard to find, at least in my area.
So that means where the power is concerned it's a perfect street bike since its designed and tuned for the street and not the track.
6:43 but you’re in 1st gear doing 30mph cruising at a steady speed…what do you need torque for??? The moment you need torque drop a gear and the revs will soar incredibly fast delivering the power you need without issue…if “power” to yall Is literally just The ability to twist the throttle in any gear and have INSTANT torque at any speed than yea of course this isn’t for you.
But the bikes that do that can’t rev as high or as fast or as freely but nobody ever talks about those p twins as being “gutless” up top and low revving like a diesel
Bit of a thoughtless double standard going on is my point. Ppl act like those naked twins do both and these high revving bikes only do one and that couldn’t be less accurate
Awesome img! Check out this license plate hider which is also a fender eliminator in 1 🙂
Crazy question… 🙋🏾♂️ umm who is recording you in 3rd person? i didn’t hear anything you said the whole video i was just flabbergasted 😂
He has a camera crew in a car
Not having abs on a 4 cylinder race bike sounds crazy to me
Wow crazy how an F4I in 6th gear will chug right along on the highway. Very rare to find myself down shifting to make a pass. I wonder if ecu flash is what it needs and if a cat definitely delete that lol.
I owe the 2014 repsol model (Non-ABS), it's very reliable.
It’s the same as the 2013 just with BNG. Bring the updated version here already. Same with the standard CBR 1000rr-r
Coool picture! Check out this license plate flipper which is also a fender eliminator in 1 🙂
What's up with the fat headlights
I know what my 2nd bike is going to be in 5 years from now right after I get my license and get plenty of time in my ninja 400 and take some courses
It’s crazy that my first bike, an Indian scout had this much horsepower. Are these really that quick?
this looks like a 10-year-old bike, the fairings, the headlights, no electronics, the analog dash, what was honda thinking lmao
I'm debating between this exact bike or a street triple
Hello Chase how are you? I'm confused ...the 2024 CBR 600RR
is fully loaded! All electronics damper combined abs 6 axis etc.... Also here in Columbia SC
we have the bike and it's only 12
, 199
Ps: up/down quick shift too
5inch TFT
But this is all on the ABS
How is it possible that its that warm in November? It was snowing and -24 here in the middle of November!
Never heard of "tokina" brakes
Also never heard anyone say they WANT abs.
Never thought I would say this but Honda does not offer a bike in USA that Im interested in. Fingers crossed for the 1000 Hornet.
Dude, I read about the host of new updates for the 2025 model and went over to Mtn Motorsports to check it out, only to find that the US gets the old 2017 model with a new paint color... 😞
If you don’t need to go 160mph then gear it to top at 145 and then you can pop wheelies in 3rd and have way more fun
I have a 2009 CBR600RR ABS
I love the bike but what is really the difference between the 2024 and the 2025 models.
Wait im confused, the 2024 model was an all new CBR 600, now the 2025 one has gone back to being the same bike from 2013?
A tune would take care of the heat. Maby
Yes this is not new model sell here at Asia. We got tft dash with little winglet, sharp front light. Price 20k usd 😢
20k?!
@ ya bro, 20k usd. South east Asia country
Love the fact Honda keeps all the techy crap off this bike. But at the same time I’m getting tired of Honda not bringing bikes to the US. Really wanted a new Hornet when they were announced a couple years ago. It’s still not available in the US.
A 'safe' sport bike x D
I think they should bring back the hi/low shifter. On these low torque bikes it would likely help in town riding. I had it on my old cb900c and it almost felt useless on that bike since it had decent tq . Just a thought. I've never owned a bike with rider aids😂. Thirty plus years riding. Fzr1k, rf900r,zx6, to name a few of the bikes I've owned. Looking at a pan America as my next bike. It'll be interesting to check out the nannies
Wish for what your getting at that the price, that it would be more competitive with the zx6r.
Man i love this old version no tf.... just like R6 wooof sweet ride i want it sounds good as fk
im so upset that i cant buy new cbr 600 2025 in usa but i hope it will be availible next year
just curious what shoe he wearing? is that a riding shoe?
Hear's what I heard... But a used cbr600rr and save some money. I had a 2005 and everything said about this new one applied to mine.
I'd pay 1000$ extra over the zx6r so my bike doesn't have a glowing screen dash. Not a fan on the glowing screen dash.
This will be My next Motorcycle!
I almost think this looks better than the real new 2025 600rr
I saw the single halogen light and the analog dash and 100% thought the "2025" was a typo....
I truly have a suspision that this is not the new MY25. I dont know wether this is some package that we dont have available. But The 2025 model when i check hondas websites have the wings and a TFT display. This one has neither.
That’s everywhere but the US…
@josuehdz0 Damn, kinda sad
This looks like the old one?
147 gang 😎🤙🏻
