HONDA CBR 600 with Rossi Paintwork

[andy182]

Hi Guys

Had my bike stolen earlier in the year so have finally got the insurance money and looking at one of these.

anyone have any reviews or opinions of the 2001 cbr's? Is this a fairly decent bike for approx £3000?

They look amazing and just wondering if they ride as good as they look

Cheers

you could get a later rr model for 3k, i paid £3,400 for mine 2 years ago so im sure its doable.

They're fantastic bikes.

Comfy, fast, handles well etc.

Check for any rattle from the cam chain tensioner when viewing.

If there is a rattle then is it a sign to walk away?

Prices seem on the up lately for some reason. Most of the RR ive seen have been £3500+ and I will have occasional pillion so need a little more comfort than the RR offers

[MonkeyKnuckle]

No, it just needs replacing, so if it's trade get them to do it or if it's private ask them to knock £100 or so off to get it replaced.

A lot of Hondas suffer from the same problem, the stock CCTs are a bit naff I suppose.

So yeah, start it up, rev it to about 5k or so and if the CCT is on it's way out there should be a noticeable rattle.


When I sold mine it was on it's way out so I told the guy I sold it to to get it replaced. That was a 2000 bike with ~34k miles on it. Cost him about £60 all in I think.

Apart from that the bike was faultless in the time I had it.

I've got one. I've had it since it had 2.5k miles on it. It's had a CCT done under warranty from teh place I bought it, no real bother, don't be afraid of it. To hear it, start the engine FROM COLD and ride it gently. About 4-5k you would hear a nasty rattly noise that goes as you get over 5.5k.

Other than that, they're good bikes. I've not ridden every bike made, but to me, the brakes seem pretty decent, it tracks corners very will, doesn't get upset by road surfaces (or the lack thereof!). Goes ok, sounds ok (lose the standard can though, it weighs a ton) etc etc.

The one in your pic is a FS-1, they're slightly different, only available from 2001-2002, they've got a separate pillion pad and black rear subframe (and I don't think they had the centre stand either). Slightly different cams I think, bit more power than a standard 'F'. If you go for a later F model, about 2004/5 they changed the suspension so it's not fully adjustable. Mine's a 2004 and it's got adjusters on the fork tops.

well f-sport me.
That's the good thing about BCF, someone knows more about whatever it is you need to know about, and does the whole 'me sir, me me me, me ME ME ME MEEEEEE!!!!!' to tell everyone else about it!

And then there's you, Ham.

Rang the dealer selling it and it has 33k miles on it. Not sure if I should look elsewhere now with such hign mileage

[Ad_87]

Well i bought a 2001 reg, 2000 model cbr 600 (fy) for just under £2700 a couple of weeks ago, with only 11,000 miles on the clock. Remember, Ebay's your friend

[andy182]

Think I am looking to go through the dealer route as have stung from ebay in the past

[chris-red]

I just realised, I have bought 5 bikes in my time, not once have I consioucly decided to buy a certain colour. The closest I came was with the Speed Four where I said I wanted a yellow or orange one, I ended up with a blue

Something like this?

Although it could be miles away from you. I always find Bike Trader one of the best places to look.

They're very good mate, decent power, good handling, suspension is fully adjustable and soft enough to be comfortable yet stiff enough to respond properly. That is way overpriced though, picked up my 17k 2001 for £2000 last summer, ebay is your friend!

CCT is crap and mine went within 500miles of owning it.

Very simple job, cost me £60 in parts and hour or two of mine and bro's time.

You will wish you had a jeremy beadle hand by the end of it though - very fiddly.

Check the downpipes for holes and its worth noting the 16k/32k service is expensive so check that's been done. Speed sensor is another weak point - so test ride it to make sure you have a speed reading!

[andy182]

Fair few miles, im in Durham

Does seem quite nice though, is thta basically the same bike with a few cosmetic differences? Not sure when they changed the range

im still tempted by this bike. although 33k isnt ideal, most bikes of a similar age are going for between 2500-3000 and this is slap bang in the middle with 6 months warrant, new mot and service.

Also been looking at R6 or Ninja

decisions decisions

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

Both are more extreme than the CBR600F.

Personally I'd put that money into finding a nice 2003-2004 ZX6R. That's just me though.
