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 ...

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.

But despite not being able to describe the problem in technical terms, I’ve known for a while that my Hornet’s suspension ...

Staff bikes: Honda Hornet 600 - pitted forks

James Keen, 18 January 2011 09:30

My Hornet's forks - which are actually used forks from a breakers, following a crash a couple of years ago - were pitted badly on the stanchions. The suspension is so tired that I want to get it looked at by a professional, but it's not worth doing this until that’s fixed. I considered everything from biting the bullet and ordering new OE parts ...
