Honda CBR600RR7

The Honda CBR600 has excelent handling, great posture, im 6'2, acceleration is very quick.

What will honda come up with next? I just hope the dont shorten the nose i'll look like the 08 1000rr hate that look.

I've had allsorts from 250's to 1300's and this Honda CBR600RR7 is just about the perfect all-round bike for typical bike-riding in the UK. Fantastic performance, sweet sounding engine, and amazing handling. Much more comfortable than the other 600's, but ultimately, any sport-seat is gonna numb yer bum soon enough.

I'm 50yr old, a tad overweight and 5'10" and this bike doesn't make hurt my back, legs or wrists. A bit heavy on the palms of your hands after a days riding, but what else can you expect?

The standard screen is a damn joke! I seem to remember the TT600 was the same - you can't read the panel instruments unless you crouch down. I changed mine to an Airblade Double-Bubble for £40. Also fitted a pair of those R&G Aero crash bobbins - no need to cut the fairing! Well worth the £100. Only other things to go on will be a Cat-1 alarm and a gear indicator.

On the motorway at 80 it feels like you're still in 3rd gear when you're actually in 6th, but its revving at 7000rpm so there's still another 8,000 to go. You soon get used to that though.

So, all in all I love the bike. Its a LOT of fun. Only downside is, the roads aren't long enough between junctions.

The Honda CBR600RR7 is awesome. Had mine since September '07 and have had a blast.

Quick and handles well. Not being biased but there's not really anything bad to say about it. Ok, maybe after a couple of hours on the motorway you want to stop but who buys these things for touring anyway?

Even managed to get 155 miles before reserve light the other day!

I'm 6ft tall and not built like a coathanger but it's still comfy for me. Only after about 120 miles does my butt start to complain, after which I've either arrived at where I was headed or have stopped for petrol.

Haven't taken it on track cos I wouldn't be coming home if I did but it's pretty much all you need in this country. How many 1000cc riders actually rev out each gear up to 170mph? Not all that's for sure.

I've listed lack of slipper clutch as a bad point cos every other 600 has one but you only really need one on track so unless you ride like a loony, you won't miss it. Standard screen is a bit low but that's easily rectified with about £50 and 5-10 minutes with a screwdriver.

The only other recent 600 I've tried is the GSXR-600 and that was brilliant but you had to cane it to make progress. Went for the Honda cos it just felt so right.

Great bike
