i just bought one as my first larger bike, i am so excited, thank you for the review

The GB500 TT is not black but dark green. The TT stands for Tourist Trophy. Formule1 color is Racing Green.

Great looking bike, it's a credit to you, enjoy! 😎

I don't get it. This has the motor from the cbr600 but loses like 30 horsepower and gains 100 pounds. I'll just stick to the 2001-2006 fuel injected cbr600 with the long single seat for touring comfort.

Good luck on the restoration and performance! I got one, and I love her to death!

I always put in the ad the price is firm in cash no trades or payments. I wouldnt have even dealt with the last guy. It's 4 years old with 20k the price is 18,000. Buy it or dont.

Nice review 👍🏻

Ich kann nur zustimmen ! Die Honda CBF 600 PC43 ist gerade mein drittes Motorrad geworden. Ich habe seit 2022 meinen FS Klasse A und bin von einer Kawa Vulcan S auf die VN 900 und schlussendlich auf die Honda CBF 600 umgestiegen. Ein Traum! Meiner Meinung nach handelt es sich dabei um die "Eierlegende Wollmilchsau" ! 100% Alltagstauglich Günstig in Anschaffung und Unterhalt Spaßig beim Fahren entspanntes Cruisen dank 4 Zylinder Niedrige Sitzhöhe (einstellbar!)

Selling anything these days is a huge test of patience!! They all act like they are mechanics and basically want to get the thing for free, going through great lengths to find anything they can use against you to scrape off a couple hundred bucks. Good for you for keeping your foot down and not succumbing to the idiocracy of such people.

Hi Joe , the world is full of tossers

Great video, I look forward to seeing your progress on both bikes, I own an old xj 600 myself (Satin Black 😎) for over 35 years, I think about parting with it, & then I ride it & decide to keep it for another while, 🤣

Good to see you back. Nothing better than a ride out to release those gremlins and let your thought process just do what it needs too. I do agree that the world has gone potty. Politicians are a joke aren't they you could not trust a one it's all about the money honey haha. Ride safe and get out a bit more and enjoy. 👍

Great you are back!

Glad to see you're still enjoying that CBF! Such reliable and great bikes. Whenever I feel down I drive for a bit. It gives you time to think and learn to do that while focusing on other stuff (like traffic). It also helps while commuting, it's a nice closure of the workday and let all stress from glide off from you. Great vid, thanks! (By the way: all modular helmets are noisier than full face closed helmets. HJC has this issue too).

New bikes are boring as f*CK injection systems and euro emissions have taken all the character out of them, you enjoy working on bikes so go get yourself a proper classic For the price of those new bikes you can get yourself something really amazing like an RD400 or similar Light, easy to use, way more fun and something you can enjoy working on and be proud of

Hi Joe I feel your pain. I have suffered with spondylitis of the lower spine for many years. I had a similar mri scan and the option of an operation with the inherent risks. I decided against the operation for the same reasons as yourself that was 10 years ago. I’m still riding motorcycles are my life like yours and I’ll go on doing it until I’m unable too. My latest bike and most probably my last is a cbf600n the naked version. I’ve gone full circle started with my 1st big bike 45 years ago a Honda cb550 four. I suffered a major heart attack 2 years ago, and have chronic heart disease. But I’m not letting the back pain or the extreme fatigue stop me from throwing a leg over my motorcycles. They are like a little piece of heaven. The total focus they require when riding always makes me feel normal as the distraction means I don’t feel quite so much pain. So please keep on riding as much as you can they are a great way to alleviate your pain. Best wishes Andy.

Looks great! Could you add links to the cleaning products used on the description?

I was looking at used bikes, but couldnt afford what i actually want. Then i saw this model from 2007 for a good price, and started to do some research on it. I found your videos and I have to say, they are really good and you really made me wanna look closer at this bike. Today i went and had a look at it, and took it for a ride. I have to say that, it really has something to it. It was a joy to ride it. It was so easy riding it, and somehow i felt that i was really in control of this bike. The engine is running smooth and nice, and the seating position is pretty good. I only have a couple of things to point out. The original seat is a little to hard, at least for my bum. It is okay for shorter trips, but i wouldnt wanne go for a 500 km trip on it. That is a minor thing, since you can always install a comfort seat instead. The other thing is, that i actually missed some power from it. Maybe it is because i am used to bigger engines form mu previous bikes. I will probably end up buying this bike because it was actually really enjoyable to ride. With a new seat i could see my self use it for both shorter and longer trips. But If i could affort it, i would go for the 1000 ccm.

Hello there. What was the fuel consumption like?

Frustration i know about 😅

Good to see you back and healthy

Probably one of the best sounding motorbikes out there even with a stock exhaust

My man, please watch over your adress. You almost leaked you Adress while throwing that DHL Label at the camera.

Hi Joe - Chris from Switzerland. Bought a R1300GS and will go again to the BMW Centre in Hechlingen - fancy joining?

fantastic

Beautiful vid. The bike sounds hefty! Good touring option.🤔

hallo aus germany ich habe 2 davon einer so wie die schwartz und die andere blau und die ist gemacht P.S. 62 PS laut prüfstand die läst eine kawa 1100 glat stehen !!!

Thank you for the video! Just a minor critique: you should treat her gentle till the oil and engine is warm. Your behavior is exactly the reason why I am having trouble with getting a “Vorführer”. 😔 But anyway, thank you again for the video! It helped me on my purchasing thoughts in general. Have a great day!

plural.............

RPM ! Not RPMS ! (rpm is already pluriel !)

Thanks Dale. Lots of good Luck with the Bike.

Not good when you are in pain, and you can clearly see it in your face (unless that was wind) IM joking. I have suffered most of my working life with back problems I was diagnosed with stuff I cant even spell as well as spinal stenosis. But do what you know and what you love until you cant do no more that is all you can ask of your self knowing you have done your hardest..Cherish those bikes forever all the best 👊👍

Like your comments I too are the older fart I mean senior rider back into it just bought cbf600s arriving saturday morning cant wait 😃keep up great vids love the drone footage put some cool music with it I would be in heaven oh s-- - - that means im dead 🤣🤣👍

Thanks for the review, i really like the look of this bike and it gets great reviews from all that have ridden it.

I have the road attack 4 on my H2SX and I cant fault them. I toured southern Ireland on them and they were awesome. Great grip and great feedback.

Love my 2002 cbf, done 60,000 miles on it, now 95k on clock. Thankfully they seemed to have avoided the attention of the 'cafe racer converters'.

Top Man! viva la Brazil 🇧🇷

Yes, this is really a great sexy bike!

Very underrated bike. Did all my lessons on the naked version, tried out a ton of different bikes after getting my license, but went back to the 600SA for my first purchase. Not the most sporty bike, it's just insanely reliable and very comfortable for daily commutes, has more than enough kick to get you through traffic fast and easy. Great video!

I'm at the start of the vid but is filtering not allowed in Germany ? Was that driver a bit grumpy.

Where's your mic, sound's like it's in your back pocket.

Bad sound Chief!

Had well still got it 21 years ago since it saw the road what a blast they are you forget how great a light 2 stroke is on the road just seeing you on this brings back great memories!

I think BMW need to really Think!! About upgrades on their rubbish seats. The 9RT needs a comfortable gell seat that gives the pillion comfort then they should give you a grill rack to pop your stuffa bag on! Me, iam looking at the XR TE I test rode one in Serbia and bloody loved it, on face value the seat does its job but they could improve the rear pillion to be less hard! The seat in the F900XR looks better than the XR TE it looks good. But, is it ? I want a bike with a bit of oomph not sure the F900XR is the one having ride the 165 bhp TE. Hummmmm I think I'll stick with the XR for the full monty 165 bhp, it will be brilliant for European touring with my wife on the back plus it's got the 2 bags thrown on the side... It's got lots of grunt and attitude which I love. Fir a second bike I would love a 9T, again BMW the seat you have used is ...t How on earth can a pillion sit on the plank strip of a seat like that .... Only cure us to fork out 500£ on a normal round rear leather seat, then the other quick change is the Spring which everyone complains about as being rubbish that's another £500 quid gone... BMW this is not good paying serious money for a bike then having to correct your f ups is a joke surely you know this. Start upgrading the Comfort side if your options ,put a good Wilbers s spring in it from standard .. and not having a fuel guage on one if the 9T,s is a joke... 12 grand £ and I have to guess when it's going to conk out!!!! Even my Ducati Streetfighter has got a fuel guage... It's always the little things that make a bike perfect, making Ng The Ride seamless is what is all about ,riding all day n night without a sore butt counts trust me! Come on Berlin ...time to think about the comfort needs AS Standard ... not optional £££

Why can’t the manufacturers offer a decent saddle… ? It’s not rocket science!

Well kept secret... my ntv about to do second lap on speedo... off the lights like a scalded cat but not mental like loads of other bikes ... easy to ride , very light for era and type and so much fun... my daily ride 😎

Thought on a motorbike you don’t negotiate with bad car drivers you just pull back on the throttle and leave them behind…. And you express what I mutter to myself, ha ha…

Like your content Mister. Look forward to more. Not my business I know, but looking at matters in the round I'm sure that your love of bikes and dislike of pain might suggest a clear course of action. Get the swimming card!
