As I understand it Honda still produce the CBR600 in the RR version and it is a very good seller for them.

Everyone is aware that the CBR used to come in an F flavour many years ago, which was less extreme and more focused on general road use.

What did Honda replace the CBR600F with? Did they produce anything along similar lines.

As far as I'm aware the F is still in production. Confused

EDIT

Ok, seems it ceased last year, you'll still be able to pick a new 'un up though.

See edit, production ceased last year, but I expect they'll still have a few around unregistered.

You sound like a rep from a chinese bike company looking for another bike to copy and ruin lol Laughing (I dont think somehow you are though)

But yes they do still make the RR and with regards to the F i guess as they now have such an extensive range of bikes for all uses they might have just considered focussing the CBR range just into sports mode to distinguish a more level competeting term with the R6, GSXR, ZX6R and other die hard sportsbikes

Just my suggestion Thumbs Up

Nah they canned the F probably because in the first few years it was embarrassing the RR, in that Fs being Honda's flag ship sports bike for years had plenty of development and tech in it...

The RR seemed to be cobbled together rather quickly too quickly and only started being good from 05/06 on wards.

As many have said the F is a bit more of a lardy tourer but its still very capable and with most people's abilities even though the RR's abilities were higher than that of the F few people would notice, and thus the F was a better bike for the real world since it not every body lives in the Alps.

Shame since Kawak still continue its lardy but fast if you want old sports bike the ZZR.

the latest cbr 600 rr is more road friendly that previous rr models, especially in comparison to its rivals which are all pretty track focused,
i think the 600 markets moved on from the cbr f so there's no need for it, i guess reckon people that want something similar to the F will op for something else in there bike range

Agree with Spifta - the latest RR is a much better road bike than the wheezy RR from 06 and before, maybe part of the reason Honda only have 1 CBR6 in their range now. It's no F model though - limited luggage space, no underseat storage, plastic tank, no centre stand, pillion comfort is a bit of a sick joke.

Would agree, I've had an old F and it was a little more comfy but not massively.

I've had an 03 RR and now have an 07 RR. The midrange is much more usable on the 07 and means for general riding about you don't have to rev the nutts off it for it to move about.

The last one I had was modded a fair bit but still wasn't as quick as the new one.
