Default Honda announces 2011 600F

Unknown if it will hit the U.S., or pricing though.

I like it - reminds me of a modernized F2/F3 instead of a scaled back track bike. Something that would be a little cheaper to insure, and a little more comfy to ride without sacrificing some of the fun. Banana seat that doesn't look terrible, etc.

wow thats actually pretty slick.... strange new set up for the pass pegs but pretty smart... except aftermarket sets for this will be a pita to produce...

also glad to see they went with the time and converted to inverted forks.... (even though they are trying to keep it touring by running the clip ons above the triples)

also think this would be slick if the tail was a split seat but oh well

headlight reminds me of a gsxr

yeah - looks like there is a factory solo seat cover:


And check the white ring around the pulse generator cover - integrated case savers? the red bike shows a similar setup on the stator cover. Might be one of the first times I've seen a sportbike with factory protection.

the headlight appears to be mimicking the 1200 VFR & new 250 - might be a new design language Honda is moving toward.

bike does look pretty slick only thing im not a fan of is the exhaust... but if taylormade made a pipe for it similar to the one they make for the new 1krr's then i think it would look tight

and yea looks alot nicer with the rear cowl... and factory crash protection would be nice as well... man those front calipers look ity bitty though
