Honda CBR600F 12 month report

Anonymous, 07 July 2012 10:11

I bought my CBR exactly 12 months ago and have done nearly 20,000 miles on it in all weathers. It was a split choice between a the CBR or an ER6 - I think I made the right choice. You can ride around town at 15mph or go a bit crazy at the top end. At a regular 75-80mph I get 55 mpg ...

Kawasaki ER six month appraisal

DazLoczy, 02 July 2012 14:52

I’ve had the ER6n for over six months now and it’s just gone through its 4000 mile service with no issues. The only thing to note is I’d overfilled it with oil which seemed to have a slight affect on the MPG. Having said all that I’ve just managed 67.9mpg on my last 100 mile ride which is a personal best.

R6 vs GSX-R750 at Cadwell Park

jamocbr, 14 August 2007 23:03

Having bought my New Repsol Fireblade in 2005 my mate got himself a new Suzuki GSX-R750 K5. He wanted to do a Cadwell track day but I decided to hire an R6. By the afternoon session I was pleased with my decision. Someone nudged my mate at Chris Curve, causing them both to go down which made a right mess ...

Pan owner's GTR1400 review

npark, 13 August 2007 16:54

I have today ridden the GTR1400 thanks to Dave Fox Motorcycles of Ramsgate. I am in the market for a good tourer and currently own a Honda STX1300 and previously an ST1100. I was keen to have a change and the GTR looked like the best alternative having already considered the BMWs and the Yamaha FJR. The former was discounted ...
