Honda: “let continue to make our 600rr for trackday users, so if they crash, they don’t have to spend a ton to fix it”

I commuted on one of these for years regardless of the weather and it was an amazing commute bike. I love Hondas.

Same. I ride a naked gsx atm for the comfort but a part of me really longs for the super sport simply because this is what feels like a true sport bike to me. I love for clip on styles and fairings even if it's not the most comfortable nor powerful for most uses (streets less than 65mph)

The very same bike since 2013? I'm okay with that. But I think the dash looks more like 1993. I mean, I don't like the more modern TFT videogame-like displays, and I do LOVE analog rev counters and speedometers, but that dash looks really, really old. Come on, Honda, you can do better. And another excellent video, Adam!

That was a great review and good to know that it's still worth keeping my 2010CBR (plus all the upgrades)! Thanks Adam!

I’m old school. Don’t like all the high-tech nannies or rider aids in moderns cars and especially bikes. So a modern sportbike that gives me an unadulterated mechanical experience gets my money. I currently ride a 2009 Honda CBR600RR and there isn’t another bike it’s league that I’d rather replace it with, except maybe a Ducati 848. The fact that Honda hasn’t changed anything besides the visage and a few tweaks, Is fantastic for someone like me. Can’t change perfection and you only dilute it with all the electronic aids.

Why all the hate!!??!!?? I think the plainish stealth look is nice.....enough power to be fun but won't kill you in half a second. The cost can't be argued with because it is proven and reliable. Honda has a good recipe so why mess it up!!!??? I would buy one of these way before a Kawasaki or Yamaha just because of the quality that goes into Honda product!!

"Listen to that Japanese 4-in-line sound" YES, i have the 2009 CBF600NA (purchased second hand in 2012) and that sound is one of the things i fell in love with. It reminded me of the CB500Four i had in 1971.... no other bikes can match the sound of a Japanese 4-in-line :-)

I have a 2000 Kawi ZZR600, love everything about it, similar to the pros for the CBR600RR! Thank you for the review!

this is an amzing video man! alot of emotions running through my mind upgrading to a 600cc, this was my dream bike when i first got into bikes!

I love that there's still bikes that were so good 7 years ago that they didn't need a modern robotic redesign

This bike has one of the amazing sound that comes stock.

This is your best video and road test ever. Thank you for combing your hair. 😊

Even without ABS, the HESD kicks in under unstable, hard, or clutched-in braking; you'll feel it vibrate to prevent tank slapping. It's amazing...

I actually sat on all the modern supersport 600s when i was at a dealership recently shopping for a new bike, and i honestly found this bike to be the most comfortable of them all. I wanted a supersport but i also didn't want to be leaned too far over, wearing out my arms and wrists or having knee pain from the footpeg height. This cbr was the best of them all. However due to price i went with the gsxr anyway lol, which was a close 2nd.

Great review Adam. I went with the 2021 model (same as this, but with better color scheme), because I’m a believer in “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.” Honda is a prime example of a company that builds everything, from power generators to private jets. For them to keep the CBR600RR around with mild refreshes speaks about retaining the reliability / quality they are known for. The CBR600RR has always had lower power, but also lighter with a better weight distribution in comparison to other 600 super sports. Finally, Honda gives you everything that you need, and nothing you don’t need. CBR600RRs were always the only 600s with Combined ABS, Electronic steering dampener, real fuel gauge and plastic tank covers. They’re literally perfect for everything you’d want to do, cheap / easy to repair and I still don’t think anyone in its class provides a better overall package for an experienced rider. Simplicity at its finest and it’s still one hell of a supersport to ride daily and rip on the track. People call them boring because they just do everything so good without complaining.

Hi Adam great review as always 👏 For me i started my bike life bk in 2011 on a 2004 CBR 600RR and won’t lie i absolutely loved it 😍. But like you’ve said in this review time and bikes have moved on from then and although this is a 2020 bike its actually not really its platform is to old for me Honda just haven’t moved this bike on anywhere near enough. Yes i get it the middleweight sportsbike sector isn’t what it was but for me if Honda where going to launch a new 2020 600RR they really should have put a little more effort into it imo!! $12500 for this.......no way id personally save myself a few 💵 and get a used 636 or Daytona 675R there where it’s at when it comes to the supersports Adam 🇬🇧

Greatest CBR 600RR review for the greatest japanese 600 bike ever made.

Such a confident driver

I love this bike. Owned a 07 and had way more fun on track with it than my 1000. Road wise, I prefer my 1000. I miss this bike though. The front end was near perfect. Just wish the bike came with heavier springs f/r. You shouldn't have to pay for that brand new.

I saw too many tube videos but you guy awesome video recording while riding. My dream is to buy 600rr

Excellent video, keep it real!

I have a 2007 600RR. Own it for 8 years, still love it. So light (2007-2008 600RR is the lightest Supersport till now) and easy to ride.....

Flashback to 2005. That was a great motorcykle back in the day.

Those honda engines are solid!

You guys ready for the ALL NEW 2021 HONDA CBR600RR🤯😎 CANT WAIT FOR THE REVIEW!!

I love the old dash look

I know I'm in the minority but I love 💘 ❤ the looks of this gen of cbr600rrs. It looks very moto gp with its rounded and understated face, but it's not overly cute or soft. It's got a semi retro/funky feeling, like an indiglo timex digital watch . I dig it 😎

Holy shit I didn't realize you are from Vista! Had to do a double take at the start of the video thinking "Wait...I know this area"! Heyo from a native Vista guy!

I love this channel

How would this compare engine and handling wise to a 636? The Hondas I know seem to have a midrange so torquey it makes bigger cc bikes feel anemic. Cbr1000rr always did that even vs a hayabusa Roll on was extremely strong for size. No slipper is bad!

I really hope they Update the looks soon.

great review

As a suggestion I would love to hear your review of the z900 2020.

Love 600cc Supersports but could definitely use a facelift like the R6 did

I noticed you are giving a lot of throttle when taking off Is it because you are unfamiliar with the friction zone of the clutch on this bike or the torque is lackluster from idle?

So bummed the US isn't getting the 2021 with winglets.

I love my 07 CBR 600RR. That gauge cluster needs to be updated though. Bike looks chunkier too. I’ll have to see one in person.

I have a 2009 so same setup. Ive added a gear indicator which gives me everything I want to see. Don't wish for a modern TFT screen, they are no replacement for a proper clear analogue revcounter. Test ridden a few modern bikes and do not like the screens, really unclear and graphics can be tacky.

Great video. And we all know where Adam lives now. 😆

You are the man!

B4 u hit the freeway the setting so reminded me of San Diego. I could b wrong but the roads looked so familiar. I’d love 2 own a cbr600rr, but heard the best models r the 2007-2008 n relation 2 power and comfort. But if I wanted performance out of a 600 I’d go R6

I like the way he says: "2020"!

I wish motorcycle makers could retain 'analog' without being 'archaic'. There's no excusing that gauge cluster, mirrors and halogens on a bike of this cost.

It’s the whole package not just the tac which you don’t need if you listen too the machine. Everything about the cbr is Analog. It needs a rider. No nannies no wheelie control this, traction control that. The only rider assist this bike has is the grey jelly inside your skull. This bike Is the last of its kind, it’s pure and simple, which is why its loved by many. There’s a reason why this bike is still a deadly weapon on a track, hop on one and I promise you, you will understand.

I hope people aren't missing the point you were making (I think). It isn't about what the bike is missing but what they are charging despite those absences. Kawi is cheaper. Yamaha comes with ABS and many tech options that the Honda is missing for a lower price. It's fine if they want to offer this with less tech but why isn't it cheaper to reflect that?

I have only owned Ninjas, but I just got a 2013 CBR600RR Red one. I have not ridden it yet so I’m anxious to see the difference

Same issue with my 2008 probably gonna check if anything is loose.

You had me mashing the rear brake through my floor, maybe it's the camera but jfc with the coming to a stop in 1 second and splitting the lanes, making me sweat.

Does the abs apply to both front and back breaks or is it only the front?

I'm a completely new rider (looking a bike) ...but every review I watch the bike either has the fuel tank indicator but no gear indicator and vise versa...is there a motorcycle that offers both?...or is there a mod that we can do?

It often seems best to buy a previous year model Honda cbr600rr (or even 2 years back if you have to). I've seen them sell with 0 miles for around 7000 dollars when certain dealers are stocking up on the new or current year's model.

Please do a cbr500r pretty please. I am currently thinking between cbr500r and cb650r, I love the looks of cbr500r but I love the sound of cb650r.

For more city which one u prefer cbr r6 or gixer thanks

They could merge some of the tech in the Cbr650r on this model like the ABS, colour screen etc other than that nothing wrong with a good old school bike IMO

How about a photo of the bikes from the right (no side stand) side

What about BMW brake system that it does both front and rear?

The rumor 2021 600rr will be totally new?

I like you, nice manual wheelie my dude.

I understand on cbr650f dont having gear indicator but on 12k bike supersport gear indicator should be a must......

I feel like all you’re getting on these newer CBRs is an updated look for a higher price. I own 2 and love them but struggle to justify buying a brand new CBR

I have no problem with old model refresh but surely it needs to be reflected in the price if they arent spending money on r&d

I'm the sure the other 600's are good in their own way but for some reason the CBR600 is *the* sportbike in my mind. It's just the quintessential 600 to me. Damn they gotta modernize that dash. It doesn't really need a fancy TFT display but the way it's arranged now just looks dated. The dash on my 2015 GSX-S750 isn't any more modern but it looks much better.

I can’t wait to get one! I’m searching now between CBR or R6. My dad told me to get a 1000 engine bike. I ride dirt bikes z

What up dude, while is true that most def Honda needs to up their game on cluster, brakes, engine mount and windshield and the like still is a machine that most will only dream of owning. With that being said there's something that everybody fails to see: Which is inflation. Almost everything cost double on price. I wish I could have this machine. Almost 13k is what I paid for a brand new Civic lx at Honda of Hollywood in 2007!! Wich was almost 2k more for a brand new Corolla in Cerritos. Go Cali!!

Canada angle doesn’t Show the motorcycle just the mirrors? Usually the review has a view of the motorcycle.

after 07/08 cbr600rr it got slower and heavier and wasnt even worth it compared to the old r6, gsxr, and kawi i mean suntmuch?

The dash is the same on my 03. Literally the only differen is the little glass part underneath the digital speedo.

The cockpit reminds me of my 2007 VRF800.

Thanks for showing me that my bike can actually wheelie!! I need to work harder on that now.

Thanks for a great review! I feel like I made the right choice when I bought my CBR650R instead of the RR. Now I got fancy led lights and a modern dash. Also, for some reason I think the R looks better.
