no i havent, i have had r-6 and gxr.... i like the honda the best so far. i have already gotten approved for the cbr. just wanted to see how people feel about it.
No I don't. I have been to my local dealer and checked out most of the 600's the Honda just didn't wow me. The suzuki seemed like a better built bike. To each his own. Just throwing my opinion out there

I have a '13, which is the same as the '14. I freaking love it. I've been riding for years and still grin ear to ear whenever I'm on it. PM me if you have any specific questions. I'd be happy to help. Congrats on the new bike.
I have a 12, would like to have gotten a 13 but there is approval and then there is Mrs. Approval! I got the latter so had to move
Out of the box the CBR may not be the quickest track bike but IMO it is the best street bike. Fast and (for a 600) comfy. Only negative on the bike was the OEM tires, not so good in the cold and not so good in the wet - spun the rear up at 70 rolling on the throttle in 3rd gear on a wet interstate. I think they still come with Dunlap Qualifiers.
13 and 14 are exactly the same bike (most likely the 15 will be as well, honestly haven't looked) and other than new bodywork, some minor suspension changes and new wheels is the same bike as the 09-12 so anything you read about these bikes will directly translate.
All of the owners of the 13-14's I've read about have been quite pleased so far but very little has been written (other than I like it) so anything you can add would be great once you get it

I have a 13 and love it. Like the riding position and the way the bike handles out of the box. I'm no racer so I can't push it to the limits to see what it's actually made of but I don't have chicken strips either. Overall flicks very well in the twists and fun to ride. Good luck with your 14 and be safe. Second the buying riding gear. What color are you going with? Ooo when you pick it up have the suspension adjusted for your weight...
I had an 07 and now ride a 13 and there is difference in the midrange power. The 13 seems peppier at 'normal' hwy speeds. I downshift less in traffic when getting away from what situations I feel are not favorable like tween on phone immediately beside me or the loving motorists who want to share the same space I'm currently occupying. Also the front suspension feels just a tad bit more planted and seems to handle imperfections better.
Subtle changes but ones I can say I feel coming from the previous gen. Hope this helps.
I rode a 2013 model for several days after the UK launch. I found the bike as a whole rather disappointing simply because the only notable upgrade from the 09-12 model was aesthetic. Essentially the bike has only had very minor technical upgrades since 2007. I for one was expecting a completely new model with the addition of a slipper clutch and such like to make it a bit more accomplished on track. That said the CBR ridden in isolation is a very good bike and you will certainly enjoy owning one; but for me there was absolutely no point in trading in my 2011 model.
That red color needed some black vinyl down the center of the upper cowl to break it up a bit. Would look awesome with some I bet, and some going over the top of the tank as well.
a friend of mine was telling me about a electronic visor that can switch from smoked to clear.
i have seen similar idea on airplane windows, they have a lcd i think in between them.
any one know if they are for sale?
also he said he saw one that has daemon eyes on it that are leds, ever see?
Hi,
I have tried to change from khp to mph the normal way ..... 'when on trip A press the reset button' - it does not work for me.
My speedo seems to be stuck on kph.
Anyone else have this problem? If so did you manage to changeto mph?
Anyone know why it would be stuck on kph?
Thanks.
So, below are a couple of pics from my old 1992 CBR600 (f2) - bought as the flamed pirelli, purchased some fairings from China for £350 and fitted myself - and I loved this bike.
Smashed it to bits at 4am one morning on my commute, taking a corner far too late - totally my fault.
So, latest...
Is it common to get condensation behind the dash glass,I’m assuming it’s the steam rising up from the radiator when the weather is wet. Can it cause any issues?
No idea how this happened but the coolant overflow tank somehow got a hole in the top. It looks burned but it's not by the head or exhaust. No coolant was left in it. I noticed it when I was changing the oil.
