Hey m8 Im from Australia were everything fun or has a motor is expensive rip off! Im wanting to get a bigger bike & would appreciate your any info or help u can give me?? I have Honda cbr250 RR 1990 model (baby blade) the last model that went like the race bike reving out to 19,000rpm still!!, before all the restrictions & crap!. I dont want to ever sell it but I want to get a bigger bike! Ive allways had Honda dirt & road bike personally i think there the best!! Ive mainly been looking at Honda 600RR or 1000RR. I only have $5g so I cant really afford a litre bike unless its old & lot or if km on clock or I can go 600RR but having trouble whats best model! If u could get any 600 what model would u get? Can u also tell us the differences between your 600RR 08' & 600RR 2018?
I get so sad seeing this and knowing I won't be able to ride again... keep your eyes open in the streets guys, it takes a blink of an eye to lose everything you love....
I bought this bike and will pick it up Saturday. I heavily based my decision on your reviews dude. I'm so glad you talked about the riding position, that's very important to me. Great motovlog as usual bro!
@@papaemeritusii7039 yea i absolutely love it. it was my first bike so i was scared shitless riding it from the dealer to my house lol. i ride about 4-6 hours at a time. very little fatigue. this is a masterpiece by honda. the looks, comfort and power are well balanced. its been a few years now, havent touched a liter bike yet, wish i had the chance to ride the 08 fireblade. i have my eye on the 2017 fireblade at the moment. i dont think ill be selling my 600rr tho.
@@KidNamedKuddy So I've learned. I've had an 07 600RR for a year now and only had the stator go bad which is to be expected at 25,000+ miles. I'm on 40k miles now and runs great. A blast to ride.
The bars on the 07-12 600rr are actually up an inch or more over the other supersports, which is a huge difference in terms of comfort on the street. Read the current issue of Sport Rider magazine (April 2013 issue) They explain how bars raised an inch makes a big difference. When I sit on the other supersport bikes it feels like I'm getting ready to do a pushup, you don't feel that way on the 07-12 600rr.
Hock Ooi CBR600rr is better for street riding than the zx6r 636, the zx6r has more aggressive ergos but go sit on them and see which bike feels better for you.
I got a 2003 R6 and had to give it back. too tough on the turns. It was my first first super bike as I was jumping from a 250. I don't know if a CBR 600 would be easier for me. Any thoughts? - I want it to go from here to there not speeding. Thanks
Hi welcome to my channel! Thanks for checking out my vids. Yeah the 2007-2012 cbr600rr is the lightest 600cc stock bike, it feels really light and turns corners with ease. It feels like a 250 when it comes to flick-ability and the weight of it. One reason why I didn't go with a 650 is primarily b/c of the weight. I wanted something lightweight, flickable, fast and more commuter friendly, the 2007-2012 cbr600rr is the only bike that fit my criteria. You'll love it if you ever get one.
I picked up a 02 CBR F4i for my first street bike. Greatest investment yet! Rides great. Very comfy and was cheap. In the future im looking at a RR. Highly recommend first year riders of SS bikes to look into them. They feel better than the others and was slightly cheaper.
Hey CycleCruza, Just wanted to say after obsessing for the last year or more I've finally purchased myself a 2007 CBR600RR!! I fell in love with the bike after watching your channel and now am so stoked to have one of my own :-)
GrindbIast Cool, I might get a 600rr or a Hayabusa...But I love so many motorbikes ill probably end up importing something into the USA...but a 600 is a good option. Glad to hear its good. I was on a s1000rr and its very comfy..I just love the under-tail exhaust man.
That's great man! How do you compare the torque/power at low rpm's to the 500? Seems like cyclecruza is contradicting what other people say about 600s having '' no torque''. I used to ride a 500R until it got stolen two weeks ago, and I'm wondering about what to get next. I loved that bike though and I really miss it :(
Im very sorry to hear about your 500r! id say off the line they are relatively close for maybe a second. The more the revs increase with the 600 the more power you get and it does take long at all before there is a large difference. Also the gearing is alot taller on the 600. So if you wind it out you can hit over 100km (60mph) in first gear. I commute on mine in Melbourne (and joy ride) and i think its hands down better than the 500r but thats just my preference. Suffice to say i still have my 500 and havent riden it once since I've purchased the 600, which could also mean my memory if its torque is a little sketchy. But both are great bikes! let us all know what you decide to get!
Just bought a 2009 cbr 600rr with only 3,706 miles on it for $5,500 & it's never been laid down! Beautiful & really powerful coming from the dirtbike world
@Edwin Serrano - 09 kawasaki zx6r wet weight is 421 lbs, which is 9lbs heavier than a 2007+ Honda cbr600rr. You want to refer to the a bike's wet weight, with all fluids. Nobody rides a bike with no fluids. lol
I just picked up a spotless 2008 CBR600RR today, finalizing everything tomorrow! I feel much better about my choice (had options over all brands) after watching this vid! Keep it up Cruza! Thanks!
Thanks for your insight, it's nice to hear feedback from someone who has actually ridden a 2007 and newer cbr600rr! Most people that say negative stuff about the bike are people that have never ridden the 2007-2012 cbr600rr. Most people assume that the new cbr600rr bikes are the same as the 2006 and older cbr600rr bikes. Also, I agree with you that a 1000 is overkill for the streets.
CBR stands for City Bike Race and was built to be an all rounder in all aspects, everyone says 2009-2012 model basically because it looks the best, I see a lot of comments saying r6 is for track and honda for city both can do both! In the motoGP Honda always performs at the top tier and the 8 races ive seen honda won 5 its the RIDER not the BIKE where PERFORMANCE really counts! Dont get caught up in performance statistics just worry about comfort and asthetics cause thats all that really matters my brother is a racer and will beat faster bikes because he is a better rider. i know this is a 2013 video and a 2017 comment but 2009-2012 are the best looking and most sort out honda still today so here you go
James Hills it does not matter what is in motogp. They dont ride standard bikes. Its true. Standard honda cbr600rr is fine for street. Not hard enough for real track racing standard. R6 is better because other suspensions. For street i also find r6 is to hard..
I live in ohio, we can't ride year round, even though I do (on the good days), so we pay cheaper rates. Also, I'm over 25, own a home and a car so I get the multiple discount. I have all of my insurance through state farm, homeowner's ins, auto and motorcycle. Btw, state farm has some of the best rates. But yeah $290 a year, no BS.
Thanks bro! yeah with the 2007-2012 cbr600rr you will not have any wrist fatigue ever. I ride my bike all day long and hate to put it away at night. It's so comfy and fast, rides as smooth as butter like a caddalac.
Cc after watching your reviews on the cbrrs I'm going through with my purchase of the 09 cbrr Phoenix edition it has 1600 miles never dropped frame sliders hot bodies shield avopovic exhaust it's costing me a little over 9000 but I sold my gsxr and have the boot so I think I'm making a good decision
Cyclecruza! I've been following your vids for awhile now and I have to say you give great advice. At 30 years old and after spending the past 20 years on dirtbikes, I finally decided it was time to buy a motorcycle. Last weekend I bought an '07 CBR600RR (blue and silver, only year for that color that I know of) and I absolutely LOVE IT! I'm in SE Michigan, if you ever cruise up this way hit me up! Peace!
hey cycle cruza, im currently in a debate whther to buy a cbr600rr 08 or yamaha r6 08, reallyy stuck between the choice(ill be riding in the streets, but im very aggressive, need alot of power i usually stay in like 200(okay i know itz not safe)) what bike do you think is better
hey man. i bought a 2013 model CBR 600RR today. iam new to riding. used yamaha yzf r125 for a while but it was small to me. iam 33 years old and couldnt resist to buy a CBR 600RR. i hate speeding. but i love SS bikes. did i made a mistake. people keep told me to buy a chopper but not. me and wife are so pleased.
Hey Man! I've been watching your videos for a while now. Decided to sign up and say that your comparison between the different bikes is one of the main reasons I'm now a proud owner of a 2008 Honda CBR600RR, red and black!!! Now I'm also "ridin' through the country in my Honda CBR 600 Double R!!!!!!!" Well, at least when it stops snowing in the stupid Canadian tundra. Take care!!
Your welcome! Yeah that's why I made this video b/c people don't realize how just an inch higher clip-on makes a world of a difference. Also, the suspension, seat and fuel gauge just makes the 2007+ cbr600rr best suited for the streets over all of the other supersport bikes. A lot of people just see a hot bike like the R6 and immediately want to get it regardless of the fact that is one of the most uncomfortable supersport bikes for the street.
I never heard that before but thanks for the heads up. Mine never sits for a long period of time, any nice day out anytime of the year and I'm blazing the streets!
I think what some people fail to understand is what you like does not mean everybody likes what you like. It's called preferences and we all have our own preferences. Have fun on your bike man that's all that matters, don't worry about what other people are riding.
Good to see you are starting on a 250, smart move. The 250 will help build your skill set and when you are ready for the 600rr it will be a smooth transition as it was for me. Ride safe!
Where the honda beats the gixxer in comfort is the raised clip-on bars, the bars are raised on the 2007-2012 cbr600rr. You will get no wrist discomfort on the cbr like you will on the gixxer on long trips. I have no idea why people think the gixxer is more comfortable than the 2007-2012 cbr600rr. Maybe for short riders who like the lower seat height. Also, the 2007 and 2008 cbr600rr have a little bit more top end than the 2009-2012. In 2009 they reduced the top end a bit due to emissions.
Thanks! I'm glad the video helped. You will definitely love the 600rr. You made the right choice. It's the hands down the most comfortable supersport bike for the streets and commuter friendly.
You'll see it in one of my next videos. I will post links. I need to set the record straight b/c there is a lot of ignorance floating around out there. The 2007/2008 600rr is a BEAST!
my 08 cbr600rr begs to be taken to the twisties, it carves corners like a scapel. All I can say is my bike feels like I'm an extension of the bike, I love this bike so much and I've had it for a year now and hope to have it for a long time.
Just found your channel this morning. I have a FZ6R and my wife has a Ninja 250. I was just talking to some guys about how much I enjoyed riding the 250 a bit and now the FZ6R feels kind of heavy and slow to flick in comparison. AND THEN I FOUND YOUR VIDEOS. Now I think I'm in love with the cbr600rr. Everything you're saying sounds great to me. Long rides, light weight, accomodating for commuters. If only I didn't owe $ on my Yamaha.....
Thanks man! I have no idea about what suspension set up will suit you better. A dealer should be able to help you with that. They should be able to set up the suspension for you to meet your needs. Good luck with getting the cbr600rr, you'll certainly love it as I do.
Thanks for taking the time to make a vid. I want to trade in my R6 for a CBR. Fell in love with the CBR when I sat on one in 2008 such a great machine!
My 2002 F4i Finally went bye-bye after 149,000 miles. I was so worried about finding a bike as comfortable touring with as that one but this makes my choice easy. Went and snatched up a 2011 CBR and it is comfortable. Thanks for the info man
Hi Joe, I highly recommend starting a 250, you'll gain confidence and skills faster on it. If you buy a 250 used you'll save a lot of money and when you go to sell it you won't lose much money at all. I wanted to to start on a 600 too but I knew the smart thing was to work my way up to a bigger bike and I'm glad I did.
I did not rev it to 3k at start, please watch again, I made sure to start at idle which is 1500 rpm on this bike. This bike has linear power throughout the power band which was noted on some of the shootouts and reviews . Of course some liter bikes have more torque down low but this bike hauls ass off the line, stop looking at the dyno sheets and test ride one for yourself. I was thinking to myself what my next bike would be....still don't desire any other bike.
Thanks for watching! Yeah the ninja 650 is a really nice bike but I knew it wouldn't satisfy my need for speed so that's why I went straight to the supersport after riding the cbr250r. You'll love the supersport, especially if you get a 2007-2012 cbr600rr. Really you get the best of both worlds in this bike and the quick throttle response is addicting. I guarantee you'll love the bike.
Thanks! Yeah mine has gone up to 210 deg in the summer, nothing to worry about though. As soon as you start riding it drops back down. I've never had the fan kick on but I hear it will kick on if it reaches 220 deg and then the temp will drop. You'll probably enjoy yourself more on a 07/08 cbr600rr than the gixxer 750, the bars are lower on the 750 so it's not going to be as comfortable and it's not going to be as fun on the twisties, the 2007+ cbr600rr almost feels like a 250 (low weight).
You're the best motovlogger I've seen until now, since you're probably the ONLY guy I've seen to actually talk about motorbikes while riding on one, instead blabbering about what you ate for breakfast and stuff... Good job, subbed.
Thanks for your input! It's always cool to hear from people that have actually ridden the 2007-2012 cbr600rr and can attest to it's comfort and power on the streets. As far as power, people don't realize the 2008 honda cbr600rr was clocked at 10.52 @133.7 mph for the quater mile, actually faster than the 2011 Triumph Daytona 675r that was recorded in the 1/4 mile which was 10.61 @132.2 mph.
That''s true but even that will get tiring after riding for hours. You can always add heli bars to raise them but that can be difficult to install sometimes.
Hey mister cycle cruza all the way from South Africa.. I'm getting my 2010 cbr 600rr leyla limited edition 💪 can't wait for that first ride.... Keep up the good work love ure channel... Be blessed brother 💪
This video pretty much just sold me on the cbr. I never even knew the bars were ABOVE the triple tree. After coming off a 03 r1 for the past 2 years, i'll take the smaller motor for the comfort. I'll definitely be buying one of these bikes. But i'll tell ya, you gotta experience a litre bike at least once in your life, or you haven't lived my friend.
I have a CBR500R. Bought it about 4 months ago. Left it at the dealership for a month while I waited for a safety course. Been riding for about 2 months now. It's a nice beginner bike. I enjoy your videos. Have been watching them since even before I got my bike. I'm considering a CBR600RR as my next bike, but I'm in no hurry to make the jump The CBR500R is pretty adequate (just not as cool as a super-sport).
Thanks bro I appreciate your comment. The daytona 675 is a hot bike, I love the looks too, but parts can be a bitch to obtain and the bike has agressive ergonomics and a firm suspension that sucks for street riding. The 2007-2012 cbr600rr was designed with the streets in mind and commuter friendly. I'm not just saying this b/c it's my bike, if there were cons I would be the first to tell you, the truth is I haven't found any cons yet, at least for street riding. I haven't hit the track yet.
yeah you are right but it will get taxing on long rides with a bike with low bars, when you use your legs it will start to fatigue your lower back, you don't get that with the 2007+ cbr600rr due to the higher clip-ons.
Hey Carl, go to the dealership and sit on one. The seat height is about 32.5" You should be fine on the cbr600rr. You can always lower it an inch if you need to. As far as riding in less than 5k rpm around the city, it stresses the engines less which in turn will give you better gas mileage. I'm averaging about 43-44 mpg even with a two bros slip on which is excellent considering I roast the backroads whenever I get a chance. I attribute my good mpg due to coasting in the city and low RPMs.
yeah but it can mess up the bike geometry...honda's ss bikes already come with risers. Also, sometimes it can be a pita to put on clip-on risers b/c you may have to change all of the lines.
Awesome! Cool to hear you got the awesome 2008 honda cbr600rr! Baddest 600rr of all time! You got one of the nest color schemes too! I love the red and black color combo. Now you can make a video and pop your collar and say "CeeBee ARRR six hundred DOUBLE ARRR" YEAHHHH! Ride safe brother! Thanks for dropping the comment!
no, unless it has power modes where you can restrict the power like the 2008-2009 suzuki gsxr 600, 2013 kawasaki zx6r 636 and the triumph 2013 daytona 675r might have it too.
Thanks! The zx6r is a really nice bike for sure. Honestly, you won't really know how comfortable a bike is until you ride it, the zx6r might be a great fit for you. Generally though the 2007-2012 cbr600rr is known for it's comfort on the streets, it was designed to be a more commuter friendly.
I was referring to my experience with my cbr250r, which wasn't fun unless you put yourself into a more agressive riding position when riding the twisties by scooting back in the seat and bending the elbos (I mentioned this in the video).of course that was just my opinion. Everybody will not feel the same as I do. I understand that. Honestly, I'd rather be freewheeling it in the dirt on a dirt bike than riding the twisties with a motard, but that's just me.
yeah it's all preference. I do plan on riding a liter bike for good measure. Like I said in my videos I'm not a liter bike hater, I even said if Honda came out with a new hot design on the fireblade I might be tempted to get one but it won't be b/c of wanting more power. My 08 600rr is all the power I want at the current time. Also, I value my fuel gauge, something the fireblade doesn't have. I like to plan long trips on occasion and it's nice to exactly how much gas I have left.
First off, thanks for watching my videos. The cbr500r, is a great bike to start on. Take your time and learn the proper skills you need. When you are ready then get a 600rr. It will be a big change though as these supersports are so powerful.
yeah the roads are not too cool out here, some areas are worst than others but this 08 cbr600rr handles them like a caddalac, so smooth. The scooter was good too.
Yeah the cbr turns with ease, like I said the handling feels like a 250, very light up top and turns with ease. Actually, Honda supplies the same engine from the cbr600rr for MotoGP. I'm using a go pro hero 2 for my motovlogging. The mic is a cheap EBay flexible stereo mic I got for $2.99 shipped. I did a couple videos on the camera and mic, go to my main channel page and look in my GEAR folder. All of my videos are organized in folders on my main channel page.
I was showing the low end power starting at 1500 RPM at idle. If you listened carefully you would have heard me say I was showing you the low end power. lol Actually, the 07/08 is one of the fastest 600's, it ran a 10.52 in the 1/4 mile, Google "Sport Rider 1/4 mile times'. The R6 has the fastest top end from my understanding, the 636 is a little but faster but it has extra 36cc of displacement. You are right though, the 07+ cbr600rr is the best all around bike, it does everything well.
the rr requires the same maintenance as any other bike except the supersport bikes like mine eat through tires a little faster. You can cruise at whatever speed you want in top gear, sometimes I cruise at 40 mph in 6th gear just to keep the rpm's low for better gas mileage.
I have an 05 cbr600rr and I've never had an issue with hand fatigue or pressure on the wrist. I've never ridden the newer cbr's so I can't really chime in on that but I do know that I am super comfortable on my 05 cbr even during long rides and I know the 05-06 models have alot of power and are pretty fast topping out at 162 mph. Honda makes great quality bikes that are solid and confidence inspiring. Specially after adding a pair of Dunlop Q3 tires. Taking turns on this bike is like being attached to a track. You feel glued to the road. Can't go wrong with a Honda.
thanks, the 2013 zx6r 636 has lower clip-on bars (bad) than the 2007+ cbr600rr and the the 636 lacks a steering damper as where the 2007+ cbr600rr has a fantastic built-in electronic steering damper that is nicely concealed underneath the tank cover. The cbr600rr also has a fuel gauge. Comparing 1/4 mile times, the 2008 honda cbr600rr ran a 10.52 in the 1/4 mile (Google Sport Rider 1/4 mile times), the 2013 kaw zx6r 636 ran a 10.71 in the 1/4 mile.Both bikes have nice low end power. 07/08 600rr!
It's a big difference. Have you ever ridden a 2007+ cbr600rr to know what difference is like? The 2007-2012 cbr600rr has the perfect ergonomics, not too agressive and not too upright. Adding heli bars is not always a simple task, there is a dude I know right now having a problem raising the bars on his 08 zx6r.
The bars sit up an inch up over the competitors' bikes, it was just raised 10 mm for 2007-2012. Try test riding a 2007-2012 cbr600rr and you will see for yourself! It's the most comfortable supersport motorcycle for the streets that is available, even more comfortable than the gixxer (Gixxer clip-on bars sit lower which put more body weight on the wrists)
Thanks bro! I wish I had a chance to ride all the different bikes. I sat on a bunch at the dealership and the honda always feels like better quality bike compared to the others.
yeah it comes down to personal preference, the gixxer and cbr600rr are both great bikes for the street. yeah my bike loves wheelies, I do power wheelies often without even wanting to. lol

Hey m8 Im from Australia were everything fun or has a motor is expensive rip off! Im wanting to get a bigger bike & would appreciate your any info or help u can give me?? I have Honda cbr250 RR 1990 model (baby blade) the last model that went like the race bike reving out to 19,000rpm still!!, before all the restrictions & crap!. I dont want to ever sell it but I want to get a bigger bike! Ive allways had Honda dirt & road bike personally i think there the best!! Ive mainly been looking at Honda 600RR or 1000RR. I only have $5g so I cant really afford a litre bike unless its old & lot or if km on clock or I can go 600RR but having trouble whats best model! If u could get any 600 what model would u get? Can u also tell us the differences between your 600RR 08' & 600RR 2018?
I get so sad seeing this and knowing I won't be able to ride again... keep your eyes open in the streets guys, it takes a blink of an eye to lose everything you love....
element of life what happen
element of life your balls fall off?
Cr55zy no fuckwad he probably can’t walk again
Cr55zy you’re fuckin idiot
Cr55zy lmao so fucked up but so funny😭
I bought this bike and will pick it up Saturday. I heavily based my decision on your reviews dude. I'm so glad you talked about the riding position, that's very important to me. Great motovlog as usual bro!
how do u like it? the 08 cbr 1000's are so amazing!
@@papaemeritusii7039 yea i absolutely love it. it was my first bike so i was scared shitless riding it from the dealer to my house lol. i ride about 4-6 hours at a time. very little fatigue. this is a masterpiece by honda. the looks, comfort and power are well balanced. its been a few years now, havent touched a liter bike yet, wish i had the chance to ride the 08 fireblade. i have my eye on the 2017 fireblade at the moment. i dont think ill be selling my 600rr tho.
@@mfmf9083 How's the reliability been? Any issues?
@@danejurus69 I would assume little issues. It’s a Honda after all.
@@KidNamedKuddy So I've learned. I've had an 07 600RR for a year now and only had the stator go bad which is to be expected at 25,000+ miles. I'm on 40k miles now and runs great. A blast to ride.
Just bought a 2007 CBR600RR. I love it so far.
The bars on the 07-12 600rr are actually up an inch or more over the other supersports, which is a huge difference in terms of comfort on the street. Read the current issue of Sport Rider magazine (April 2013 issue) They explain how bars raised an inch makes a big difference. When I sit on the other supersport bikes it feels like I'm getting ready to do a pushup, you don't feel that way on the 07-12 600rr.
wanted a r6 now im thinking about getting the cbr600rr
OneTonTunjud cbr600rr is better for street riding, R6 is great for track riding.
Dude why not test drive both.
Hock Ooi CBR600rr is better for street riding than the zx6r 636, the zx6r has more aggressive ergos but go sit on them and see which bike feels better for you.
I got a 2003 R6 and had to give it back. too tough on the turns. It was my first first super bike as I was jumping from a 250. I don't know if a CBR 600 would be easier for me. Any thoughts? - I want it to go from here to there not speeding. Thanks
Ricardo De La Vega I went from a 2009 250 Ninja to an 2003 R1, you'll be fine on the cbr, just remember to turn before you accelerate
Hi welcome to my channel! Thanks for checking out my vids. Yeah the 2007-2012 cbr600rr is the lightest 600cc stock bike, it feels really light and turns corners with ease. It feels like a 250 when it comes to flick-ability and the weight of it. One reason why I didn't go with a 650 is primarily b/c of the weight. I wanted something lightweight, flickable, fast and more commuter friendly, the 2007-2012 cbr600rr is the only bike that fit my criteria. You'll love it if you ever get one.
I picked up a 02 CBR F4i for my first street bike. Greatest investment yet! Rides great. Very comfy and was cheap. In the future im looking at a RR. Highly recommend first year riders of SS bikes to look into them. They feel better than the others and was slightly cheaper.
Hey CycleCruza,
Just wanted to say after obsessing for the last year or more I've finally purchased myself a 2007 CBR600RR!! I fell in love with the bike after watching your channel and now am so stoked to have one of my own :-)
hows it treating you?
really good! smooth and it sounds so sexy! After adjusting to it i dont find it that much less comfortable than my cbr500r.
GrindbIast
Cool, I might get a 600rr or a Hayabusa...But I love so many motorbikes ill probably end up importing something into the USA...but a 600 is a good option. Glad to hear its good. I was on a s1000rr and its very comfy..I just love the under-tail exhaust man.
That's great man! How do you compare the torque/power at low rpm's to the 500? Seems like cyclecruza is contradicting what other people say about 600s having '' no torque''. I used to ride a 500R until it got stolen two weeks ago, and I'm wondering about what to get next. I loved that bike though and I really miss it :(
Im very sorry to hear about your 500r! id say off the line they are relatively close for maybe a second. The more the revs increase with the 600 the more power you get and it does take long at all before there is a large difference. Also the gearing is alot taller on the 600. So if you wind it out you can hit over 100km (60mph) in first gear. I commute on mine in Melbourne (and joy ride) and i think its hands down better than the 500r but thats just my preference. Suffice to say i still have my 500 and havent riden it once since I've purchased the 600, which could also mean my memory if its torque is a little sketchy. But both are great bikes! let us all know what you decide to get!
Just bought a 2009 cbr 600rr with only 3,706 miles on it for $5,500 & it's never been laid down! Beautiful & really powerful coming from the dirtbike world
@Edwin Serrano - 09 kawasaki zx6r wet weight is 421 lbs, which is 9lbs heavier than a 2007+ Honda cbr600rr. You want to refer to the a bike's wet weight, with all fluids. Nobody rides a bike with no fluids. lol
What about 03-06 600rr?
hey cycle cruza how tall are you?
I just picked up a spotless 2008 CBR600RR today, finalizing everything tomorrow!
I feel much better about my choice (had options over all brands) after watching this vid! Keep it up Cruza! Thanks!
6'1" here...fit me like a glove. You'll be fine on it, try sitting on one at a dealership...
Thanks for watching! yeah I agree, it's all about personal preference. As long as the person is happy with their bike is all that counts.
Great video. Good information on the raised bar height. I really like the '08 red model.
Thanks for your insight, it's nice to hear feedback from someone who has actually ridden a 2007 and newer cbr600rr! Most people that say negative stuff about the bike are people that have never ridden the 2007-2012 cbr600rr. Most people assume that the new cbr600rr bikes are the same as the 2006 and older cbr600rr bikes. Also, I agree with you that a 1000 is overkill for the streets.
Excelent análisis!!! Thanks to your reviws i decide to get cbr 600rr 2008. Great bike!!!!
CBR stands for City Bike Race and was built to be an all rounder in all aspects, everyone says 2009-2012 model basically because it looks the best, I see a lot of comments saying r6 is for track and honda for city both can do both!
In the motoGP Honda always performs at the top tier and the 8 races ive seen honda won 5 its the RIDER not the BIKE where PERFORMANCE really counts!
Dont get caught up in performance statistics just worry about comfort and asthetics cause thats all that really matters my brother is a racer and will beat faster bikes because he is a better rider.
i know this is a 2013 video and a 2017 comment but 2009-2012 are the best looking and most sort out honda still today so here you go
James Hills it does not matter what is in motogp. They dont ride standard bikes. Its true. Standard honda cbr600rr is fine for street. Not hard enough for real track racing standard. R6 is better because other suspensions. For street i also find r6 is to hard..
wrong. 2007 and 2008 look better and have more power. later years have extra fairing bits covering more of the engine to protect the abs system. yuck.
@Perú Bicampeón de América lol the only pussy here is you. get mad, broke boi
You are the reason i got into riding, finally found your old vids again!
I live in ohio, we can't ride year round, even though I do (on the good days), so we pay cheaper rates. Also, I'm over 25, own a home and a car so I get the multiple discount. I have all of my insurance through state farm, homeowner's ins, auto and motorcycle. Btw, state farm has some of the best rates. But yeah $290 a year, no BS.
Thanks bro! yeah with the 2007-2012 cbr600rr you will not have any wrist fatigue ever. I ride my bike all day long and hate to put it away at night. It's so comfy and fast, rides as smooth as butter like a caddalac.
Cc after watching your reviews on the cbrrs I'm going through with my purchase of the 09 cbrr Phoenix edition it has 1600 miles never dropped frame sliders hot bodies shield avopovic exhaust it's costing me a little over 9000 but I sold my gsxr and have the boot so I think I'm making a good decision
Can't go wrong with a 07+ cbr600rr, awesome bikes. The majority of riders love the 07-12 cbr600rr.
Cyclecruza! I've been following your vids for awhile now and I have to say you give great advice. At 30 years old and after spending the past 20 years on dirtbikes, I finally decided it was time to buy a motorcycle. Last weekend I bought an '07 CBR600RR (blue and silver, only year for that color that I know of) and I absolutely LOVE IT! I'm in SE Michigan, if you ever cruise up this way hit me up! Peace!
Just bought an '08 graffiti edition
That wasnt an OEM option was it???
I had the Phoenix edition, but changed that REAL Quick
Thanks! I appreciate your comment!
hey cycle cruza, im currently in a debate whther to buy a cbr600rr 08 or yamaha r6 08, reallyy stuck between the choice(ill be riding in the streets, but im very aggressive, need alot of power i usually stay in like 200(okay i know itz not safe))
what bike do you think is better
hey thanks! It's cool, everybody has their own preference in a bike. As long as you enjoy riding your bike that's all that counts! Ride safe!
hey man. i bought a 2013 model CBR 600RR today. iam new to riding. used yamaha yzf r125 for a while but it was small to me. iam 33 years old and couldnt resist to buy a CBR 600RR. i hate speeding. but i love SS bikes. did i made a mistake. people keep told me to buy a chopper but not. me and wife are so pleased.
R125 is a man's bike! Proud of you! Have fun with your CBR ;)
Ride whatever you like but I will say these bikes were built to go fast and don’t really like going slow
Hey Man! I've been watching your videos for a while now. Decided to sign up and say that your comparison between the different bikes is one of the main reasons I'm now a proud owner of a 2008 Honda CBR600RR, red and black!!! Now I'm also "ridin' through the country in my Honda CBR 600 Double R!!!!!!!" Well, at least when it stops snowing in the stupid Canadian tundra. Take care!!
Why the fuck did I get a Ninja 650 smh
UnitedStatesOfCoffee what don’t u like about the 650?
Yea really.
Your welcome! Yeah that's why I made this video b/c people don't realize how just an inch higher clip-on makes a world of a difference. Also, the suspension, seat and fuel gauge just makes the 2007+ cbr600rr best suited for the streets over all of the other supersport bikes. A lot of people just see a hot bike like the R6 and immediately want to get it regardless of the fact that is one of the most uncomfortable supersport bikes for the street.
10 WHOLE Milimeters. Lol. There's no one on the planet that could appreciate that bar rise.
I agree with everything you had to say about the CBR600RR. I own a 2007, and I love it.
I never heard that before but thanks for the heads up. Mine never sits for a long period of time, any nice day out anytime of the year and I'm blazing the streets!
thanks! Yeah you will be happy with the 600rr for sure. I feel like a kid with a new christmas present every time I ride it.
Thanks man, I really appreciate that you reply to comments because it shows you care about your fans and acknowledge them.
I think what some people fail to understand is what you like does not mean everybody likes what you like. It's called preferences and we all have our own preferences. Have fun on your bike man that's all that matters, don't worry about what other people are riding.
Awesome! Congrats on the new bike! Good to hear from another 600rr owner.
I feel not only models after 2007 but any cbr600rr are most refined and comfortable bikes...i have the 2006 shape and i love it
Good to see you are starting on a 250, smart move. The 250 will help build your skill set and when you are ready for the 600rr it will be a smooth transition as it was for me. Ride safe!
Where the honda beats the gixxer in comfort is the raised clip-on bars, the bars are raised on the 2007-2012 cbr600rr. You will get no wrist discomfort on the cbr like you will on the gixxer on long trips. I have no idea why people think the gixxer is more comfortable than the 2007-2012 cbr600rr. Maybe for short riders who like the lower seat height. Also, the 2007 and 2008 cbr600rr have a little bit more top end than the 2009-2012. In 2009 they reduced the top end a bit due to emissions.
Thanks! I'm glad the video helped. You will definitely love the 600rr. You made the right choice. It's the hands down the most comfortable supersport bike for the streets and commuter friendly.
hey thanks! I don't know, go to a dealership and sit on the bike and see how you feel on it. I'm about 6'1" and it's very comfy for me.
Great to hear. The 03 cbr600rr is a good looking bike for sure. I love all the cbr bikes!
You'll see it in one of my next videos. I will post links. I need to set the record straight b/c there is a lot of ignorance floating around out there. The 2007/2008 600rr is a BEAST!
my 08 cbr600rr begs to be taken to the twisties, it carves corners like a scapel. All I can say is my bike feels like I'm an extension of the bike, I love this bike so much and I've had it for a year now and hope to have it for a long time.
Just found your channel this morning. I have a FZ6R and my wife has a Ninja 250. I was just talking to some guys about how much I enjoyed riding the 250 a bit and now the FZ6R feels kind of heavy and slow to flick in comparison. AND THEN I FOUND YOUR VIDEOS. Now I think I'm in love with the cbr600rr. Everything you're saying sounds great to me. Long rides, light weight, accomodating for commuters. If only I didn't owe $ on my Yamaha.....
Thanks man! I have no idea about what suspension set up will suit you better. A dealer should be able to help you with that. They should be able to set up the suspension for you to meet your needs. Good luck with getting the cbr600rr, you'll certainly love it as I do.
Thanks for taking the time to make a vid. I want to trade in my R6 for a CBR. Fell in love with the CBR when I sat on one in 2008 such a great machine!
My 2002 F4i Finally went bye-bye after 149,000 miles. I was so worried about finding a bike as comfortable touring with as that one but this makes my choice easy. Went and snatched up a 2011 CBR and it is comfortable. Thanks for the info man
Hi Joe, I highly recommend starting a 250, you'll gain confidence and skills faster on it. If you buy a 250 used you'll save a lot of money and when you go to sell it you won't lose much money at all. I wanted to to start on a 600 too but I knew the smart thing was to work my way up to a bigger bike and I'm glad I did.
I did not rev it to 3k at start, please watch again, I made sure to start at idle which is 1500 rpm on this bike. This bike has linear power throughout the power band which was noted on some of the shootouts and reviews . Of course some liter bikes have more torque down low but this bike hauls ass off the line, stop looking at the dyno sheets and test ride one for yourself. I was thinking to myself what my next bike would be....still don't desire any other bike.
Thanks for watching! Yeah the ninja 650 is a really nice bike but I knew it wouldn't satisfy my need for speed so that's why I went straight to the supersport after riding the cbr250r. You'll love the supersport, especially if you get a 2007-2012 cbr600rr. Really you get the best of both worlds in this bike and the quick throttle response is addicting. I guarantee you'll love the bike.
Thanks! Yeah mine has gone up to 210 deg in the summer, nothing to worry about though. As soon as you start riding it drops back down. I've never had the fan kick on but I hear it will kick on if it reaches 220 deg and then the temp will drop. You'll probably enjoy yourself more on a 07/08 cbr600rr than the gixxer 750, the bars are lower on the 750 so it's not going to be as comfortable and it's not going to be as fun on the twisties, the 2007+ cbr600rr almost feels like a 250 (low weight).
You're the best motovlogger I've seen until now, since you're probably the ONLY guy I've seen to actually talk about motorbikes while riding on one, instead blabbering about what you ate for breakfast and stuff...
Good job, subbed.
Thanks for your input! It's always cool to hear from people that have actually ridden the 2007-2012 cbr600rr and can attest to it's comfort and power on the streets. As far as power, people don't realize the 2008 honda cbr600rr was clocked at 10.52 @133.7 mph for the quater mile, actually faster than the 2011 Triumph Daytona 675r that was recorded in the 1/4 mile which was 10.61 @132.2 mph.
That''s true but even that will get tiring after riding for hours. You can always add heli bars to raise them but that can be difficult to install sometimes.
Thanks you for your testimony! I agree with you the 600rr is a great track bike, I can't wait to try it out on the track!
Hey mister cycle cruza all the way from South Africa.. I'm getting my 2010 cbr 600rr leyla limited edition 💪 can't wait for that first ride.... Keep up the good work love ure channel...
Be blessed brother 💪
This video pretty much just sold me on the cbr. I never even knew the bars were ABOVE the triple tree. After coming off a 03 r1 for the past 2 years, i'll take the smaller motor for the comfort. I'll definitely be buying one of these bikes.
But i'll tell ya, you gotta experience a litre bike at least once in your life, or you haven't lived my friend.
That's cool. All the cbr600rr model year bikes are great, honda just made it that much better with the redesign in 2007.
I have a CBR500R. Bought it about 4 months ago. Left it at the dealership for a month while I waited for a safety course. Been riding for about 2 months now. It's a nice beginner bike. I enjoy your videos. Have been watching them since even before I got my bike. I'm considering a CBR600RR as my next bike, but I'm in no hurry to make the jump The CBR500R is pretty adequate (just not as cool as a super-sport).
Congrats on the new bike! I agree, the 250 is a great bike to learn how to ride on.
Thanks bro I appreciate your comment. The daytona 675 is a hot bike, I love the looks too, but parts can be a bitch to obtain and the bike has agressive ergonomics and a firm suspension that sucks for street riding. The 2007-2012 cbr600rr was designed with the streets in mind and commuter friendly. I'm not just saying this b/c it's my bike, if there were cons I would be the first to tell you, the truth is I haven't found any cons yet, at least for street riding. I haven't hit the track yet.
yeah you are right but it will get taxing on long rides with a bike with low bars, when you use your legs it will start to fatigue your lower back, you don't get that with the 2007+ cbr600rr due to the higher clip-ons.
Just got a 2012 CBR 600rr. Your vid swayed me on the 600 instead of 1000. I love this bike!!!!!! Thanks bud! Maybe see you on the road sometime.
Hey Carl, go to the dealership and sit on one. The seat height is about 32.5" You should be fine on the cbr600rr. You can always lower it an inch if you need to. As far as riding in less than 5k rpm around the city, it stresses the engines less which in turn will give you better gas mileage. I'm averaging about 43-44 mpg even with a two bros slip on which is excellent considering I roast the backroads whenever I get a chance. I attribute my good mpg due to coasting in the city and low RPMs.
Second time ive watched this video in the past week! Love it man! So beyond happy that I bought a 2007 Cbr last Monday :)
I've ridden 8 hours straight and didn't want to put it away. everybody is different though. I feel very comfortable on my bike.
yeah but it can mess up the bike geometry...honda's ss bikes already come with risers. Also, sometimes it can be a pita to put on clip-on risers b/c you may have to change all of the lines.
Awesome! Cool to hear you got the awesome 2008 honda cbr600rr! Baddest 600rr of all time! You got one of the nest color schemes too! I love the red and black color combo. Now you can make a video and pop your collar and say "CeeBee ARRR six hundred DOUBLE ARRR" YEAHHHH! Ride safe brother! Thanks for dropping the comment!
no, unless it has power modes where you can restrict the power like the 2008-2009 suzuki gsxr 600, 2013 kawasaki zx6r 636 and the triumph 2013 daytona 675r might have it too.
Thanks! The zx6r is a really nice bike for sure. Honestly, you won't really know how comfortable a bike is until you ride it, the zx6r might be a great fit for you. Generally though the 2007-2012 cbr600rr is known for it's comfort on the streets, it was designed to be a more commuter friendly.
yeah I saw that, looks like it's just a tick more upright.
awesome! thanks for commenting!
I have ridden my 07CBR600RR about 17,00km over the last year, up to 8 hours in a day without discomfort. Great bike!
I was referring to my experience with my cbr250r, which wasn't fun unless you put yourself into a more agressive riding position when riding the twisties by scooting back in the seat and bending the elbos (I mentioned this in the video).of course that was just my opinion. Everybody will not feel the same as I do. I understand that. Honestly, I'd rather be freewheeling it in the dirt on a dirt bike than riding the twisties with a motard, but that's just me.
yeah it's all preference. I do plan on riding a liter bike for good measure. Like I said in my videos I'm not a liter bike hater, I even said if Honda came out with a new hot design on the fireblade I might be tempted to get one but it won't be b/c of wanting more power. My 08 600rr is all the power I want at the current time. Also, I value my fuel gauge, something the fireblade doesn't have. I like to plan long trips on occasion and it's nice to exactly how much gas I have left.
First off, thanks for watching my videos. The cbr500r, is a great bike to start on. Take your time and learn the proper skills you need. When you are ready then get a 600rr. It will be a big change though as these supersports are so powerful.
I love the look of the R6 too! Both are good looking bikes.
can't really put into words how awesome this bike is....
yeah the roads are not too cool out here, some areas are worst than others but this 08 cbr600rr handles them like a caddalac, so smooth. The scooter was good too.
Yeah the cbr turns with ease, like I said the handling feels like a 250, very light up top and turns with ease. Actually, Honda supplies the same engine from the cbr600rr for MotoGP. I'm using a go pro hero 2 for my motovlogging. The mic is a cheap EBay flexible stereo mic I got for $2.99 shipped. I did a couple videos on the camera and mic, go to my main channel page and look in my GEAR folder. All of my videos are organized in folders on my main channel page.
I was showing the low end power starting at 1500 RPM at idle. If you listened carefully you would have heard me say I was showing you the low end power. lol Actually, the 07/08 is one of the fastest 600's, it ran a 10.52 in the 1/4 mile, Google "Sport Rider 1/4 mile times'. The R6 has the fastest top end from my understanding, the 636 is a little but faster but it has extra 36cc of displacement. You are right though, the 07+ cbr600rr is the best all around bike, it does everything well.
the rr requires the same maintenance as any other bike except the supersport bikes like mine eat through tires a little faster. You can cruise at whatever speed you want in top gear, sometimes I cruise at 40 mph in 6th gear just to keep the rpm's low for better gas mileage.
Hey Thanks! Yeah the bike is quick! More power than you wil ever need on the streets and the track.
Thanks! Congrats on the new bike! You'll love it! Gear up!
I have an 05 cbr600rr and I've never had an issue with hand fatigue or pressure on the wrist. I've never ridden the newer cbr's so I can't really chime in on that but I do know that I am super comfortable on my 05 cbr even during long rides and I know the 05-06 models have alot of power and are pretty fast topping out at 162 mph. Honda makes great quality bikes that are solid and confidence inspiring. Specially after adding a pair of Dunlop Q3 tires. Taking turns on this bike is like being attached to a track. You feel glued to the road. Can't go wrong with a Honda.
They just raised the bars 10mm from the previous gen cbr600rr. The older ones are still fairly comfortable for street riding.
thanks, the 2013 zx6r 636 has lower clip-on bars (bad) than the 2007+ cbr600rr and the the 636 lacks a steering damper as where the 2007+ cbr600rr has a fantastic built-in electronic steering damper that is nicely concealed underneath the tank cover. The cbr600rr also has a fuel gauge. Comparing 1/4 mile times, the 2008 honda cbr600rr ran a 10.52 in the 1/4 mile (Google Sport Rider 1/4 mile times), the 2013 kaw zx6r 636 ran a 10.71 in the 1/4 mile.Both bikes have nice low end power. 07/08 600rr!
Thanks! I hope you are able to get one!
thanks bro! Congrats on the 07 cbr600rr! Awesomeness!
thanks! Good luck with your new bike!
It's a big difference. Have you ever ridden a 2007+ cbr600rr to know what difference is like? The 2007-2012 cbr600rr has the perfect ergonomics, not too agressive and not too upright. Adding heli bars is not always a simple task, there is a dude I know right now having a problem raising the bars on his 08 zx6r.
Thanks for the suggestion. That's a good tip! The suspension set up is perfect for me!
ever since I put on shorty levers the clutch doesn't feel as stiff...
675r is a hot bike for sure, but really the benefits of the bike are seen on the track, same with the R6.
thanks! good luck with your future bike!
The bars sit up an inch up over the competitors' bikes, it was just raised 10 mm for 2007-2012. Try test riding a 2007-2012 cbr600rr and you will see for yourself! It's the most comfortable supersport motorcycle for the streets that is available, even more comfortable than the gixxer (Gixxer clip-on bars sit lower which put more body weight on the wrists)
Thanks bro! I wish I had a chance to ride all the different bikes. I sat on a bunch at the dealership and the honda always feels like better quality bike compared to the others.
yeah it comes down to personal preference, the gixxer and cbr600rr are both great bikes for the street. yeah my bike loves wheelies, I do power wheelies often without even wanting to. lol
