The 95 Honda Cbr 600: A Sporty Bike with Personality and Charm



Okay, sporty bikes sound great in theory. Massive power outputs, rapid steering and ultra strong brakes sound like a recipe for shenanigans aplenty. And on a race track that's generally the case. But the fact is that most of us spend the majority of our time riding on the road where crippling riding positions and incredibly revvy engines are just plain annoying - even if we pretend that's not the case on the day.cmgAdQueuePush( function() AccelerateAdManager.displayAd("ad_300x1"); );Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage();Ninja H2 R (2015 - present) reviewaccImages.createImage();XJR1300 Racer (2014 - present) review


Bought this bike last summer for a scratch under 4k and as my first 'big' bike, its incredibly easy to ride with enough power to do some serious damage. Fantastic handling, acceleration and most of all, looks.. Inspires bags of confidence and as you would expect from a honda, virtually bullet proof. On the down side, anything over an hour on it requires a massage, zero storage, and i mean zero - if you want to take anything bigger than a credit card take your backpack. All in all though, an awesome bike.




95 Honda Cbr 600 Review




I bought this for 5000, after dropping back to an Aprillia RS125 2 stroke for the last year. Obviously it is vastly quicker, but for a heavier bike, the handling and turn in is actually better on the CBR. I haven't had any problems with low torque at low revs, but then maybe this is coming back up from a small 2 stroke! Opened up in 6th at 60mph, and in the blink of an eye she was doing 120 - what lack of torque ? Typical quality honda build, surprisingly easy to ride in traffic and round town, but livens up considerably when on the open road. Even pretty good with pillion, although my wife is less than 8 stone, probably harder with a heavier passenger. Bought this in (narrow) preference to a Ducati 748R, no regrets though. Strengths: Handling, brakeing and 'rider friendlyness', Covetous looks from other riders (plus my 17 year old brother and his mates!) Weaknesses:A driving ban is just a twist of the throttle away ! 2ff7e9595c
