Overview[edit | edit source]
The Honda CBF600 is undoubtedly a supremely competent motorcycle but lordy, is it dull! Bulky and heavy for a 600cc motorcycle, the Honda CBF600 lacks any real go, despite being well designed and built. Its a good, safe choice for a new biker but, for those with more experience, its unlikely to satiate your need for a rush. Once youve mastered the basics, the Honda CBF600 is unlikely to inspire you with passion. It really is a bit soulless.
The Honda CBF600's engine is taken out of
the, so youd expect more from this retuned (read
detuned) engine. Whilst the power band is broad and it can shift well
enough, theres a distinct absence of any real go. Overtakes are hard
work, leaping off from the lights doesnt really happen and even at
higher speeds, the Honda CBF600 is wheezing around over 7500rpm.
Ride and Handling
The motorcycle is comfortable enough with
its upright, in the bike seating position. At lower speeds you can
really feel the weight of the Honda CBF600 whilst on the move. The
handling is stable but unexciting, but thats good news for novice
bikers. The suspension is a bit wallowy, though. The fairing on the
Honda CBF600S works well, making motorway riding quite tolerable, and
the gearbox is sound.
Equipment
The Honda CBF600's adjustable seat and bars
come in handy, the dash is littered with useful functions, the mirrors
work well: its all there. A lack of decent bungee points lets it
down as a touring motorcycle, but theres ample room for two if youre
taking a pillion. There are plenty of extras on offer for the Honda
CBF600, including heated grips, luggage and a fly screen. A centre stand
is standard.
Quality and Reliability
The Honda CBF600's finish is still
very good, despite reports the paint isnt up to the quality of
previous Honda motorcycles. Everything has its place and works
well: you feel youre riding a well-built motorcycle and you
are. Top notch reliability for the ex-CBR/ex-Hornet engine, too.
Value
The Honda CBF600, especially with
ABS (about £300 extra) is pretty pricey compared to its
counterparts. You can pick up a Suzuki GSF600 Bandit, a Suzuki
SV650 or a new Kawasaki ER-6 for less, whilst a Honda CB600F
Hornet costs roughly the same: all of which offer the benefits
of first big bike practicality but with the (staying) power to
keep you interested after youve left the first, nervous flushes
of biking behind you.
