2024 Honda CBR600RR Review: Back At Just The Right Time?

Рет қаралды 44,249

Күн бұрын

Just when you thought the 600cc supersport segment was dead, Honda has resurrected its CBR600RR and treated it to a whole heap of changes. These help the bike comply with modern emissions regulations while also making it easier to get on with. But is it still relevant in 2024? We rode one of Portugal's sublime Portimão circuits to find out!

I bet there's nothing more disappointing for a Britt than to come to Portugal and it being raining lol

@dorayaki5494 2 ай бұрын

It rains like... 15x-25x a year here. Atleast where I live. I ride my bike ('03 CBR600RR) all year round. Between February/April is when it rains the most.

Very excited for this bike - not only for the bike itself but for what it represents for the 600cc machines; it's a shame to see this class fading. Well done Honda for coming back and kudos to Kawasaki for keeping the Ninja updated and in the game.

@Nevoexpo Ай бұрын

The 600 class has always been "fading" since 700 and 1000 became more available and better. The only saving grace is that its a really good balance between performance and eco.

@@gauravbathija6783I can see why some people would think that. I personally love the color scheme, I really like the “vintage” color scheme while all other brands have been neon green, black, red, and blue. I mostly like the color scheme because it fits my fashion with what I wear while commuting to school

Easily the best review so far of the new CBR600RR on KZfaq in my humble opinion. It’s very much on my short ‘must ride’ list for this season. Also, it’s great to hear that someone can actually pronounce Portimao correctly. Cheers Toad ☺️👍👌

Its extremly beautiful no one doubts that! Comparing to the old ones (i have riden a lot from friends) i dont think that its a lot upgraded. It has some torque in the middle but all in all the only differences are the fairings/headlight/ramair/exhaust and the electronics which i dont think that are needed (dispite the shifter-blipper). in conclusion, its the same motorcycle as it was for the last 20 years. Honda has gone way high on Fireblade, but not on this one. Its very good that they still encyst on i4 600cc sport bikes. SuperSport's cant be nothing less than i4. Would i buy it? Hell yeah, with no regret!😍 my 2 cents (as a Suzuki fan). 🙂

@iamtheiceman 2 ай бұрын

I would like to send an email to whomever at Honda, is in charge of the North American market. I want to shake some sense into him. Seriously, why is this bike not going to be available to us ??? (It only gives me a "small" comfort that I won't be able to buy one here - because if I was able to buy one, the LACK of a Fuel Gauge would drive me nuts). Maybe Honda will come to their senses - for 2025, and do 2 things: 1. ADD a Fuel GAUGE to that fancy TFT display 2. Sell this bike in North America (you have a LOT of customers just waiting on edge for this thing !!!)

@rogermty1971 2 ай бұрын

My thoughts as well. I would add an inch or two higher handlebars so you can use it in the street as well, like a CBR 600 F4.

The only thing honda has to do is to add up a few more hp and the 600rr is going to be the best 600cc bike,thats the only thing honda gradually evolves through the years it's hps. The fireblade now i think is with the highest hp among the japanese ones,so should the 600rr,the bike needs 10 more hp.

So as a track toy it would be nice, but how fast do you need to go to get to 9500rpm in first. I remember the old CBR600RR being utterly guttles and slow at anything below 9500rpm and assume this is similar. So as a road bike is it any good ? Or track only ?

@ewganhoff 2 ай бұрын

@@wiwwee1 I'd have your 890 over this 600 any day for the road. I've had 2 bikes with feeble midrange and it gets old fast on the road. I'd imagine this 600 will be just like the 600s we used to ride - fast as fck and exhilarating when you're on the boil, but uncomfortable and frustrating any other time. This exactly why torquey middleweights like your bike took over. 70mph on a proper sportsbike feels like walking. On my old zx6r I needed 90mph just to take some weight off my wrists on a long ride😅

@FD3SA 2 ай бұрын

Counterpoint: supersports such as this are two bikes in one. Below 10K, they are basically a nice easy to handle twin. But if you want to go fast (or do track days), they scream above 10K. I've always enjoyed this fact about 600s, as they keep me out of trouble on the road. Way too tempting to go way too fast if I have all the grunt down low like with a superbike.
