Honda's popular CBR600F is back and we have images to show! The CBR600F was a '90s middleweight favourite and ruled the roost for as long as one can remember. Honda later shifted focus, dropping the 600F in 2006, to their more hardcore CBR600RR with the 600 Hornet catering to the mild-er hearted.
However, Honda has now revived the 600F and we hope it spells just as much everyday usability as the original number. It is essentially a Hornet with a full fairing and we think that's not a bad thing at all! Going by the images, the CBR600F has taller 'bars which will no doubt result in a slightly relaxed riding position. That's a plus for the new F then. Also, the older F was no slouch and the new one with its 599cc, 100 bhp motor surely seems like it won't be one either.
The styling, while Honda-perfect, is a bit to uninspiring for our tastes. It's not ugly by any measure but is just way too safe for our liking. Heck, we're told it looks better in the flesh so we'll just wait then, twiddling thumbs, et al.
