Blue, red or black ... I am rather partial to the limited edition blue :-)

Actually, I am already hopelessly in love with the blue......sigh

Blue bikes look sooooo good. That and white bikes. So when will you be getting this lovely new toy?

I don't know... I really love all three.

There's something about the sleekness of a black bike though...

TBH, I think this is a step down from the sweet color scheme of your RR.

Yeah they look good Jules, but very Japanes(ish), if I was going to go British it would be one these, but they only come in Red, Yellow or Black (Special edition is white though)

But I know how you feel, I'd like a Pearl White in one of these.

Oh well, a girl can look but no touchy, right?

The thing is I love my RR and anything I ever considered what be "as well as" and when I win the lottery ..lol

Also it is testament to the 600RR engine that it is compared favourably to even the fabled stomp and torque of the 675 ... that is what I found I could not believe how strong the 600RR motor is compared with my old F3.


Set the oddball aside for a moment and the CBR is clearly the best powered of the four Fours. In many ways it mirrors the 675. It, too, has an exceptional amount of user-friendliness, as it doesn’t require its neck be wrung for maximum fun. Feed the throttle in from way down the rpm range and the Honda pulls more like a 750cc Four, its powerful grunt belying its displacement. “Not sure how the hell Honda does it, but this bike rips out of corners,” exclaimed Speed Kelly. That’s a good observation considering it shares identical bore and stroke figures (67 x 45.2mm) with the other three Japanese machines. The simple answer is that the CBR is just a tick shy of the 675 in terms of horsepower and torque. With 105 ponies peaking at 14,100 rpm and 46 ft-lbs maxing out in the 12,500 rpm neighborhood, it’s a force to be reckoned with and understandable why the bike has been so successful in AMA Formula Xtreme.
