Advantages: Practicle, reliable, quality finish

Disadvantages: Boring styling

Its no wonder the CBR600 is one of the best selling motorbikes ever made.

The bike is so easy to ride - either as a commuter or as a weekend sports bike. It certainly holds its own on track days. The perfect bike for a relative novice who wants to start getting quicker. There are no nasty surprises, very neutral steering and smooth power. It could be described as a bit boring if you're after the top end rush of a narrow power band but the CBR6 is deceptively fast because it is so smooth.

Reliability is the usual Honda standard - ie better than the rest - and the finish is very good quality.

As there are so many around, you can always repair them cheaply as there are plenty of spare parts at the breakers.

Despite recent changes, the CBR6 has never been the sexiest looking bike and that is probably the biggest crticism of it over the years.

If you're racing one, make sure you drain the water if its outside in the cold. I know of three bikes that have required new engines after they froze over night. They could be especially Susceptible to this.
