WHAT HONDA HAS
TO SAY ABOUT THE CBR 600:
Source: Honda Motors
It's been only two
years since the CBR600RR burst onto the 600cc sportbike scene, capturing
the 2004 AMA Formula Xtreme crown along the way. So what's in store
for 2005? Try even greater horsepower, an all-new inverted front fork,
lighter weight, CBR1000RR-style swingarm and front brakes, and scorching
new bodywork. We can already hear the competition shaking.
There's no tougher
proving ground for a 600cc sportbike than the AMA Formula Xtreme class,
and considering the fact that one machine — the CBR600RR —
has won every single race of the last two seasons, not to mention the
2004 World Supersport title and 2005 Daytona 200, need we say more?
Well, other than this state-of-the-racing-art middleweight marvel simply
has no equals.
Looking for a 600cc
sportbike built for the real world, a machine as equally at home —
and equally as comfortable — navigating the daily commute as it
is carving up canyons or the racetrack? Then it's time you sampled the
CBR600F4i. With its fuel injection, aluminum chassis, fully adjustable
suspension, superb brakes and one-piece seat, it's the best all-around
600 out there.
No sportbike better
embodies the words "all-around" than the CBR600F4i. Apex-strafing,
sport-riding power and handling mesh perfectly with ergonomics that
result in a machine as equally at home on the track as off. And if that
"all-around" handle leaves any doubt as to its race-bred bearing,
please refer to the pair of Daytona 600 Supersport crowns on our mantle.
