This Could Be Your LAST Chance To Buy The Honda CBR600RR: But SHOULD You? Here Are The Pros & Cons! 

Such a shame they didnt give us the ACTUAL 2021.

It's a shame. 600s are the most beautiful bikes out there.

Just bought mine and had to ride about 125 miles nonstop to get it home. Definitely this bike cruises at around the 5 to 6k rpm highway speeds. Amazing thing is when you start to go over 7k rpm. That's when you feel the race genetics kicking in. Absolutely fun.

I really like that color scheme.

Im 6ft 5 and 230lbs and own one of these bikes.. any given sunny day i can travel 5 to 6 hours on it rarely stoppin unless for food....

I just bought a 2020 left over CBR600RR. No difference between the 2021 except the color. You are right, most of the test reports show a model that never made it to the states. Funny thing is though, I bought the CBR because it was the most comfortable sport bike for me. I am 6'1", have 37" arms, and wear a 36" inseam, and I am the most comfortable on this bike than any other sport bike. I have ridden it between 200 and 300 miles, so far with just stopping for gas, and a meal at the end of my second ride. I don't feel my wrists or shoulders like all the other 600's which were very uncomfortable for me. The bike is unusually stable at 100 mph on the freeway in high winds. Which is a huge plus. I do not like the color, so I ordered a complete painted kit that is honda red, with a black belly and a couple sticker kits, so I will be getting tomorrow, an all new color plastic set, which is the color I wanted. I like the dual personality. I can ride with cruisers at 5-7K rpms, and at 9 and above, it screams in on the street and in the corners. Love to gas it in the corners and drive sane on the straights. Keeps down the tickets, and having lots of fun. I have very strong wrists and shoulders, from working out and riding dirt bikes all my life, so I may be unique in my critique.

Straight up legit ride impression review here! Good job.

Sold my 2015 CBR600 and got this one. I absolutely love it!

I have the 2018 black and red one I love it. You HAVE to put on a zero gravity double bubble windscreen and you will enjoy it 1000% more you can sit up and ride comfortable without any buffering. I’m 5’10 and it has made it so much better. Ive modded it out it’s amazing

Great review; if I didn’t have my GSXr750, the CBR would def be a viable option along with the R6 on my radar … looks dope! 🔥

Just bought mine today. Love the color scheme but very disappointed that we didn’t get the real 2021 cbr 600

Whenever someone says it’s meant for the track, I know it will work for the way I ride in the canyons.

Just got my 23 abs model yesterday. ❤

it's crazy how much my '03 dash looks like yours. Somehow I feel like it doesn't matter which year 600RR you pick, as long as you like the design of that year.

I'm Buying them! I purchased the Aprilia RS 660 December 2021 and have ridden it all year without any problems, and love the bike; it is the perfect bike for both street and track and I ride both street and track as well as in the hood. I'm now looking to purchase a Honda 2023 or 2024 CBR 600 RR; and I'm hoping BMW gets in on the 600 bandwagon and brings out there offering for both a street and track bike - if they do I'm buying that also. I love the 600 class.

We can't let the 600 class die...go out and buy one!

I have a 2012 Cbr600rr and to me it’s super comfortable, and when you want to tuck then you can, but riding normal, I could do it all day, especially compared to an r6

The CBR600RR is like the Toyota Tacoma. They “update” then every once and awhile but they don’t redesign the wheel because they don’t have to, they got it right the first time.

This old dash is way more useful than the new one.

i bought it and love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice Review and Nice Bike. I noticed your bike equipped with ABS. I am still debating if I should get one with out ABS or With ABS? Any thoughts?

These bikes are only "uncomfortable" if you're out of shape and don't know how to sit on them and tense up and so on. If you tense up yes you'll feel pressure on wrists and back, if you clinch tank with core and your upper body is super relaxed they're not that bad even for longer rides. They aren't "comfortable" don't get me wrong... but they don't "hurt" either unless tensing/positioned poorly and not conditioned for riding.

Had an '07 CBR600RR. Rode street and tracked it (Summit). Agree with everything you said Alex. Wonderful bike, very flickable with great handling. Can't believe that in 2021 Honda hasn't added modern electronics with ABS and an IMU to the 600RR. Doesn't look like Honda changed it in the 14 years of production from my '07.

I am just getting back into the street bike game after a 20 year break. In 2024, the 600RR was the only choice for me. Regardless of CCs, the 600RR is easily the best looking supersport/superbike bike on the sales floor. Dual headlights, UNDERTAIL EXHAUST, Honda RIDE RED colors, black swingarm, black frame, gold upside down forks, and the 12-spoke wheels are easily the best looking wheels out there. Honda CBR600s have a history of: -- being the easiest bikes to ride fast as they are very forgiving bikes. -- ultra reliable. CBRs can easily go 100k miles, and there is even a CBR 600 out there that reached 300k. -- the easiest bikes to work on -- the bikes to hold up in a crash the best In addition, with a 12 year run (2013-2024), we know there is a lot of aftermarket support and spare parts available. The 2024 600RR has the same engine since 2007, which means the insides have a 17 year run. I myself love it how the 2024 600RR in the USA, is the exact same bike as the 2013-2023 600rr's, because I think these bikes look the best. I am not a big fan of the looks of the newer Gen-6 600RR, don't like the way the headlights look, and don't like the winglets. I also do NOT like all the extra fancy doo-dads the Gen-6 600RR has. When it comes to Supersport or Superbike Motorcycles, I am old school. I like to keep it simple. I can't ever see myself having a bike with a digital tachometer and has an Ipad for the "dashboard". I also don't need ABS, traction control, quick shifters, slipper clutches, and multiple ride modes. Simple also means less likely to break, because the more doo-dads a bike has, the more likely one of those doo-dads is likely to break. I also considered an R1 and CBR1000RR, but Liter Bikes are kinda boring to ride on the street and on the track. You can just leave them in 2nd gear and can keep the revs low. Heck, with a Liter Bike, you can even be 2 gears to high and still properly power out of a turn, no way with a 600 you can do that. With 600s, you have to wind up the motor to like 9k rpm or above to get them moving. I just love the way we have to wind up the 600 engine to get it to work. All the power numbers people brag about are really insignificant, even on the race track all that power is mostly insignificant as there are few guys who can beat me with a more powerful bike. I use to race these things, and I will tell you it is always 99% rider. I use to get trophies racing in the 1000cc class with my 600s (both F4, and a couple of R6s). My advice is BUY THE BIKE that YOU THINK LOOKS THE BEST! and like I said above and will say again, the CBR 600RR is easily the best looking superbike and supersport bike on the sales floor. Dual headlights, UNDERTAIL EXHAUST, Honda Red Ride colors, black swingarm, black frame, gold upside down forks, and the 12-spoke wheels are easily the best looking wheels out there.

I love that analog tach personallyシ

The new updated look is really nice. I hate the current us version with the “chopped off nose”. That dash also is straight 91’ Honda Civic.

i got one loving it

Hi I'm looking at a 2005 & 06 CBR600RR,,,, ANY BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM 2007 & 08 CBR600RR... Any Tips Anything Tips on helping choose..

Dang, This guy is underrated

Good review. What more upright nimble bike would you buy with your own money?

1:58 "clearly im in a full tucked race position right now" then you see his shadow and the dude is sitting upright not tucked at all lol

Hello. Been a year later. Do you think they will bring the new JP version to the US?

I bought my CBR600RR 2020. I LOVE IT TOCE EXHAUST.

Which road is that in Colorado? Thanks

Getting a 2022 gsxr do you think parts will be super hard to get if they discontinue ? This is my fear before purchasing

i really want a cbr600r or a zx6r. but im leaning more towards honda right now even though i have a ninja 400. itll be interesting to see where were at in 2025 with these 60cc inline 4's. hopefully theyre alive and well

Have a 2007 version. Simply great bike. Also (without ABS) the lightest 600 till that day.

Good vid. Thumbs UP. Any idea why there is a weight difference between the 2020 (434 lbs) and 2021(410 lbs) for the USA version?

In the UK the insurance is about the same as a 1000cc gas mileage not too far apart. Yes you got it uncomfortable I am 6' 2'' and busted my back racing off-road, so no sports bike's a naked is good, I have a 1988 Yamaha VMX 1200cc highly modified, so comfortable along with a Teneree 700 and had a Ducati Monster so the new one is worth a look as I do several 200mile trips a week and like to be comfortable on these but what is it like two up, you could do with a two up cattorgory when reviewing them as a lot of us go two up either for work or weekends away.

Been riding my whole life, and not a fan of liter bikes. The 600 has the perfect balance of weight and power.

Does this come factory with a quick shifter?

When did the CBR600 first come out ? What year

I own the 2017 red/black/white model which is the last model year before they discontinued it in Europe and Japan. I have over 14k miles on it and have never had a single hiccup with her other then the kick stand switch malfunctioning once. I can attest to the bike being very smooth and stable at 100mph and above. I’ve personally hit mine as high as 151mph and she didn’t vibrate or feel shaky in the slightest. The suspensions very nice and the HESD (Honda electronic steering dampener) gives the rider a huge amount of confidence. Honda’s dampener is a huge reason I went with a CBR. Because I knew it also adjusts according to your speed and I love having that extra piece of mind against tank slappers. My only gripe is pretty much what’s been said in the video. It would be nice to get little more hp but more then that I would love to see this bike finally get the electronic upgrades it deserves like the Japan edition. It’s sad us diehard CBR600 guys can’t at least get a limited or special edition model with it when pretty much every other sport bike offered in the USA has had it available for years. I’m hoping Honda will hear our cries and finally give us what we been waiting for because it’s the only thing holding me back from buying a 2022. Share the upgrades with America and Europe Honda! It’s not fair! Oh and maybe you could offer more then just one single color option? Like, maybe 4? The stock color, a white version, blacked out version. Then i dunno.. maybe a freakin repsol version so ppl can stop spending $700 on aftermarket repsol fairing kits and actually have oem? We’re waiting Honda.

Have a 2016 cbr600rr black and white not sure difference between the year's but I love mine few things I'd change

So wait is the USA not getting a 2022 Honda CBR600RR or will it be a repeat of this model?

Hi how does the ride of CBR600RR compared to the 2017 CBR1000RR. In terms of nimbleness and cornering, is there a lot of differences?

So the USA version wont have the tft screen？

The CBR was perfected in 2012. OMG how horrible that it lost 5 to 7 hp in the perfecting process - hehehe, but the gains were massive. Everything about the bike was perfected and smooth out. The 2012 model CBR 600 RR is the bike to get. Great bottom end, great mid range and fantastic top end. There is not a weak spot on the 2012 CBR 600RR.

Would the Japanese parts fit on the American 2013+ models

What road are you on?

just out of curiosity, hows the gas on one of those puppies? doesnt use much im guessing

Then the 2022 CBR 600rr came out, I want this or the Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R as my next bike honestly.

Man I can't wait to get my new CBR

My reason why I’m not buying a 600rr is because my current 600RR is still going. My last 2007 600RR only lasted 80k+ miles b/c I took a clean spill

that's definitely Angeles Crest, homeland advantage

well CBR600 good bike overall ,,got a old one 99 good city bike after a few change dirtbike handlebar too out the plastic.

The ZX6R is going to own the 600 class pretty soon...

Is the fueling smooth? Aren’t bikes with wider more upright handle bars more nimble?

Really is a shame 600cc bikes are like the perfect balance and are better for people transitioning to sport bikes because all of their power is in the high revs I don't understand how such a bike can die off

How does this compare to a 2013 r6?

Think a 5’0 person can fit on this? Least one foot down?

This bike vs 2023 GSX-R750Z ?? Pick one please

Why am I seeing MOST of these with different cooler headlights? And yes the 2021 model..

I like the older dash and bigger headlights better. IMO

i miss the underseat exhaust

Taller riders should go for the Ninja ZX-6R. It has more torque too.

They have a big chance to dumb down the v5 and give the bike it’s identity back if they make it a 700 but I doubt that’ll happen they’ll just kill it like the rc51s

The same dash as in my '07 :'D

I’m 14 and I’ve never been on a 600 I’ve always been on 1000s haven’t had a change to enjoy a 600 my dads had me on zx10r r1 gsxr 1000 never a Honda tho I need to

I wanna have it

99'-00' CBR600F4 is the one to get

Damn SON! Dat's one sexxy bike!

You're leaning on the clipons

the actual 2021 CBR600RR isnt there in US,so you cannot say its 2021 even if you bought in 2021

We still have the ZX6R i guess...

Best bike🔥

ABS?

When the market for a good used bike is like 50% or more cheaper than a new one, no wonder people in the U.S aren't buying them. I got an excellent condition 2007 600rr for a good price and it is very comfortable to ride. Manufacturers do indeed need to make today's 600's more comfortable to ride.

A dash on the 600 is a big thing for me especially because most 600 dash look the same and boring

2023’s available

I hear you on the dash looking outdated i have an 08 and the dash is exactly the same

My only fear is that 53.9 wheelbase. One mistake and it seems it will spit u off

can you make video about yamaha y150zr

Whisk can find one I do have a CBR F2 mint conditions and I'm telling You Hondas Are tHe Best

2021? that looks odd

The only thing this bike successfully accomplishes is looking like it came out of time machine set to 2002. Cheap plastic bodywork, everything that isn't red is a sticker- no paint accents. Honda is absolute bottom tier in the supersport game.

Honda Asia has all the better bikes. Boycott until they bring the better stuff here?

600 are dying what would be next cause there’s no way it’s 300s

The actual reason supersports are dying is because of increasing demands in emissions. The EU is super progressive when it comes to reducing emissions, which is why European countries are the first ones to lose out on 600s. The Yamaha R7 was introduced in hopes that it could still be sold as a "supersport" but also meet future harsh emission standards.

hows gonna buy that new ones they are choked. 2008 was the best of 600s

the bike is beautiful.....everything except the FAT head. ugly af. that's the only thing that is turning me off from upgrading from my 2019 500r But why the FK would any maker delete the 600 from their lineup? 600 is a freaking sweet bike, and has so much power, and 1000 is overkill and people get wrecked or dead on those. they don't turn as well either. I dearly miss my 2018 orange/black 600rr. so sad i was in a horrible place at the time and had to sell it for 5k back in 2012. ugh. the orange/black was amazing. Thankfully the 500r I got brand new for 2019 looks gorgeous. Beautiful bike for a starter/vet

Stop calling it what it ain't

I'll keep my 2019 matte black over this one.

It will die because you guys don't give it to the ASIAN RIDE HEIGHT CONFIGURATION
