I like the look of the CBR600F6 - was this the run out model in 2008ish? Getting bored of my CBF600SA and before long want to chop it in. Spend between £3k & £4k I guess. Any opinions...?

Any reason for the 600cc limit there? You'll get equally as bored with the CBR600 tbh.

I'd be looking 675>1000 stuff.

Street Triple or a litre sports, hell even something like a VFR800 to take you away from that 600 bore zone Thumbs Up

I think it was 2005 or 6 when the took away the fully adjustable suspension. You want that.

The newer ones had less stuff, to try and sway that market to an RR.

The VFR did cross my mind - just thought a CBR would be more fun. No real reason to stick at a 600 - just like the noise they make...!

It's a wide market as well... Hmmmm...

The VFR makes a nice sound too - different, but nice.

VFR is however quite heavy, but also makes more torque low down.

Quite a good bike for high-speed motorway cruising, but can also be fairly sporty when pushed. I don't like riding it in London, I end up going 0-60-0 all the time.
