Goodbye CBR600F ....Goodbye Hornet!!!!

So that's it for the cbr600f and Hornet?

honda have a new 650....... CBR650F and CB650F

Look like they are cheapening it up a bit . no USD front forks, loss of front end adjustment.

They have lowered the power so that it can sneak into the restricted zone for A2 riders.

Sellouts!

Then again, I guess you could get blades or CB1000R still. Or the new VFR800.

Dem pipes on the CB650F Shocked

Not feeling the love with those pipes but the naked looks ok other than that.

The CBR looks like the GSXF Suzuki have been making for a good few years. The faired Blandit.

The CBR looks really boring. Yes those pipes hahha. Is it me or does the cbr look really cheap?

P.addy · Red Rocket Joined: 14 Feb 2008 Karma :

It is a shame really, I always thought their 600 rang was the flagship sports tourer, best middle ground bike you could get.

Now, they will not do a decent mid sized V twin, so a Varadero 400 for example, even if they did a 500 V twin, I'd buy it.
They will not do a high revving low cc 4 cylinder sports.

They will however ruin their current range and turn me right off Honda Sad

I agree, I was genuinely going to get a CBR 600F but now I have started looking at the suzuki GSXR 600R. Looks much nicer anyway Smile

I actually like the looks of both of those. Nice swing arm, pipes, paint, wheels and dash. Good looking bikes.

Shame they had to replace what was already a good engine from the Hornet/CBR6F. Also what is with the cheap looking suspension and brakes?

I do hope there is a sports version of both these. Increase the old engine by 50cc and unleash a few more ponies/torque in the mid range. Throw on some radial brakes and the suspension from the CBR600RR. That would tick a few boxes.

Hmm. That's a shame. My 2003 Hornet 600 was fantastic, lasted me well for 4 years of service.
