CBR600F

This Honda middleweight supersport nameplate first appeared in 1987 as a fully faired 600cc machine aimed primarily at European riders, with an emphasis on being both sporty and easy to live with. It quickly became one of Honda’s signature inline-four sport motorcycles, developing a strong following in Europe and the United States and later reaching the Japanese market in 1992. Over time, the line evolved through major updates such as the fuel-injected CBR600F4i era at the turn of the millennium, while Honda’s official history describes the original CBR600F series as having passed its role on to newer supersport models. After a hiatus, the nameplate returned in a second production period for Honda’s 2011 Europe-focused lineup, repositioned as a versatile road-biased sport motorcycle rather than a pure track weapon. That revival kept the long-standing CBR600F identity alive for a new generation of riders, while still reflecting the model’s traditional balance of everyday usability, touring comfort, and supersport character.
