Honda CBR600RR 2009

Honda CBR600RR 2009

The new Honda CBR600RR divides minds above all with its idiosyncratic front - and that's a good thing, after all, this makes it perceived as completely new and different from its predecessor. That this is not the case is proven by the rest of the machine, the high-mounted rear silencer, the chassis and the engine are largely unchanged.

Super design

sporty look

powerful engine

pleasant ergonomics

optimal braking system.

The fittings could have been done better - at least in terms of appearance.

It's simply marvellous what Kawasaki has put together in a complete package with the new Z650. The technical components may not knock your socks off individually, but in combination they make for a pleasantly neutral motorbike that everyone will enjoy. No bitchy idiosyncrasies - simply a naked bike that works really well on winding country roads. Of course, the TFT display, which we don't find in the competition at the moment, is a plus, as is the grown-up look, which is strongly oriented towards the larger Z models. Only the pressure point of the front brake could have been more clearly defined - but you can't have everything in this price range.

powerful two-cylinder engine

aggressive intake noise

compact dimensions

low seat height

stable chassis

TFT display with connectivity

grown-up look

Front brake pressure point

probably uncomfortable for tall riders

Rideology Appn och not 100% sophisticated.
