Honda CBR600F returns

After an absence of four years, the CBR600F middleweight is returning to the Honda line-up.

Judging by the images, it appears to essentially be a faired version of the updated-for-2011 Hornet, although it’s thought the CBR600F may boast slightly more power than the 100 bhp (75 kW / 101PS) that the un-faired bike currently has.

The new all-rounder is aimed at riders who want more practicality and versatility than the more hardcore CBR600RR offers, but without losing sports bike performance. That said, it doesn’t look like pillion passengers are particularly well catered for.

Pricing for the 2011 Honda CBR600F, which goes on sale sometime in the first half of next year, is yet to be finalised.



Launch colours will be Pearl Cool White / Hyper Red, Pearl Cool White / Moody Blue Metallic and Pearl Nightstar Black / Matt Cynos Grey Metallic.
