Bought Pre owned Honda vs other sports bikes
By (I am an Owner) on Jul 01, 2011SO I was shopping for another Sports bike after mine got stolen. Countless adds considering what I wanted because I am very meticulous about my bike.
I ended up buying a Honda CBR 600RR not because it was the best bike I was looking at, but the price was so cheap. So I settled!
...
Things I like: Very smooth, good center of gravity for maneuvering, easier to maintain/change oil, and central exhaust.
Things I Wish it had: SHIFT light indicator, Gear # indicator instead of a stupid clock, and better brakes.
Out of comparing these bikes from 04-08: GSXR 750 (04-08), Ninja 6XR, Yamaha R6, Buell 1250, and Triumph Daytona. I arrived at the conclusion the GSXR was the better bike 06 and up for the price and performance. Too bad, I could not find one at a decent price, which kind of tells you how owners feel about them.
I am still happy with my purchase. But if the GSXR deal comes around I might be picking that up and sell my CBR 600rr.
Hope this helps anyone in the preowned bike market.

My Black and Silver machine
By (I am an Owner) on Nov 23, 2009My 2007 CBR600 is my 2nd sportbike. I started off with a 2007 Ninja 650R (loved that bike too but that's a different story) and moved "up" to the 600RR. I haven't looked back since.
Everything that the 650R could do the 600RR does better. Much better. It corners, accelerates, ... and does anything I tell it to do without complaint, each and every time. Granted the 650 was a tad more comfy and got a little better mileage....but not much.
It's perfectly suited to commuting to and from work and in the lower RPM ranges it's tame as a kitten. If you want an eye opener crack the throttle in the lower gears and get the tach north of 10K RPM and hold on.
I'm getting around 45mpg after nearly 8,000 miles so far. The original equipment on the 600RR is very good but I have done some upgrades:
25mm Ohlins fork cartridges
Ohlins TTX36 rear shock
Zero Gravity windscreen
Sliders
Throttlemeister "cruise" control
Woodcraft engine covers
Michelin Pilot Power 2CT tires
While I hope I never need the sliders and engine covers I don't regret putting the Ohlins bits on. They're sprung for my weight and help a bit in corners but you have to hit a corner HARD to notice any difference from stock. Necessary? No, probably not, but cool nonetheless. Tires were necessary, the stock Dunlops were 'ok' but wore out at about 5,600 miles and the Michelins are quite an improvement if you like quicker turn in. My brakes are still stock and I don't plan on changing them as they're absolutely fantastic. Clutch pull is very easy as well even with the cable clutch.
This bike is also what I'd call "pathetically reliable". It starts every stinking time I push the button, everything works, still works, constantly. I've no doubt that this machine will last me for many many years to come.
Maintenance is a snap. You don't have to do much of anything other than change the oil and clean the chain. Wish I could say the same for my Harley. You know anyone who is familiar with the internal workings of Honda motorcycle engines? No? You ever wonder why? Honda's never break down, that's why!
My only gripe is that after about 2 hours on the seat it gets a bit painful. This machine is great for trips up to 100 miles or so but after that you're begging to stop. It's not a cruiser after all :) Wasn't made to do that stuff. The machine is fully up to a trip of any length if you are though.
I'd HIGHLY recommend this bike to any experienced rider but absolutely not as a first bike. The power is intense and will quickly bite you if you don't respect it. I'm willing to attempt a full 100,000 miles out of this bike, I think it'll do it.

07 CBR600RR
By (I am an Owner) on May 27, 2009This is my second sportbike and has far exceeded my expectations thus far. I've put just over 2,000 miles on it so far and have been very happy with the machine. Ferrari performance for under 10K and about 44mpg. Aftermarket support is abundant and though the bike is amazing out of the box I've ... added many improvements, notably Ohlins suspension front and rear. Love the bike. This engine needs nothing added. Power and delivery are superb.

great bike
By (I am an Owner) on Dec 19, 2008Ive owned my 600rr for about a year and a half and have been impressed by the way the bike has performed on the track and street. It is very light and quick in the turns. For a 600 there is an abundance of power and it loves to be run through the gears. my only improvement would be a slightly larger ... fuel tank because i have a 80 mile round trip to work and school and have to stop every day to get gas.

Best 600 on the market!!
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 25, 2008This bike is almost perfect. The ergonomics are great for the track or street. One of the most comfortable bikes out there. Its by far the lightest, turns very easily, has amazing mid range power, very linear power band, and is the sexiest 600 out there! It would be nice to have a gear indicator ... and a slipper clutch but the steering damper is nice along with the fuel gauge which the other 600s lack. Plus honda manufacturing is bullet proof and this is by far the most reliable and easiest bike on maintainance out there. Blinkers are quite ugly too but thats a cheap and easy fix. This is a great bike for beginners and experienced riders alike!!

Dream Machine
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 24, 2008Ever since I was 3 years old I have wanted a sport bike. I finally got this bike as my first street bike after riding on dirt for many years. I have to say this bike is very user friendly. The power curve is very smooth and gradual. The bike is fairly docile in the lower RPM and a Rocket in the ... Higher RPM. The only down fall is the throttle is a little to sensitive in first gear; getting on and off the throttle in first gear can get choppy for the inexperienced rider. I would not suggest this bike to first time motorcycle riders since it is capable of extreem speeds and accelleration, but if you have experience with motorcycles and are indecisive if you can handle a sport bike. I think this is the sport bike for you as long as this bike is treated with respect.

Honda CBR 600RR: My 1st Sports Bike Experience...
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 18, 2008Hi All,
After 2 years of Yamaha FZ6 Fazer experience, I was motivated to have a sportsbike experience.
Since I've been translating the news for our local motorcycle club web site (www.hmk.org.tr), I had enough information about new models, test reviews and comparisons. ...
Besides, I've been following some motorcycle magazines as well.
After all these accumulated data and motivation, I decided to choose the all new 2007 CBR600RR.
I had doubt about radical riding position and aggressive performance of sportsbikes.
However, as soon as I rode it, I couldn't believe its incredibly low weight, agility, stability and ease of use. It's as light as my girlfriend's CBF250 :)
The brakes are incredibly powerful and the bike is very stable while braking.
Ergonomy, controls, indicators, dashboard are optimal, fuel level indicator is a great advantage.
Everything is as it should be, the material quality is not like luxury Italians but one of the best in Japanese class.
Led based tail light is very nice, visible and stylish.
The performance is incredible, no comparison with any touring machine. I feel like my body will leave my arms on the bike while accelerating :)
If I talk about something that I don't like ; the size of the bike is a bit small for a guy taller than 185 cm. It's deadly small and light.
To get rid of rear skids while the tyres are cold, a slippery clutch would be perfect. (New CBR1000RR is equipped with that.)
The single headlight, on which Honda still insists even on 2008 1000RR, one of the design issue that I don't like.
I've made many tours even on the roads with a poor quality asphalt or tarmac with my enduro riding friends, and I had absolutely no problem of fatigue.
Consequently, I suggest this great bike to all who is interested on middleweight sportsbikes.
(2009 models will have a combined braking system with ABS.)
Cheers,
Hakan YAGAN

600RR
By (I am an Owner) on Aug 26, 2008I bought a 2007 CBR 600RR about month ago. It's got really good power and is a very comfortable ride with a good riding position.
One thing I had to change though was the suspension. I'm a bigger guy, so I had to adjust the preload but otherwise this bike is great!
