Great video! I bought my CBR new in 2013 and never thought about replacing it with a new motorcycle. I have never had a single problem in 11 years. After the winter break, one push of the starter button and it purrs like a kitten. I love my Honda. Have a nice ride!
I have the all black 2012 version of this. I absolutely love everything about it. I had to get used to be up there over 8000 rpm and shift an awful lot, but that only makes it more fun to ride I think. It asks to be ridden aggressively. If the main use is as a daily commuter I think there are better options though.
I was soooo close to buying the black version just never found the right one. Yeah I do agree to be fair you do have to shift alot but again agree it makes it more fun! Probably wouldn't buy for a commuter again tbf, naked bike for me next i reckon.
Fuel economy is often governed by the right wrist. In my head I know the bike can stay under 4k revs and still keep up with traffic and more without draining the tank. Then I bounce it of the rev limiter in 1st gear because I'm a child and love it. Ah well its only money.
Hahaha yeah it just has to be done sometimes mate!!! That is very true to be honest, when i've been out riding on sunny days and the right hand is excited (wheeeeey) I do tend to run out of fuel strangely fast
Took mine to Donington for my first ever trackday and it was really good, redlining the engine and it screams! IMO the best thing about this bike is how comfortable it is compared to a supersport. It was ahead of its time now that they are doing the same with R7, Daytona 660 etc.
A very informative video I've just done my CBT after not being on a motorbike for nearly 40yrs that bike is unbelievable value for money when a 125cc will cost you around £3000 for a decent used one
I am riding 2012 honda cbr600f When I give it the throttle it cutoff I sent it to the mechanic he said piston 1 and 4 are not working. They checked electrical components and there's nothing wrong there... What might be the problem?
if your mechanic can't figure it out the take it elsewhere. Gas, air, Spark = boom. it's really not that hard. if piston 1 and 4 are working maby Check the Alternator?
Oh yeah oke, i wanted to change the screen with a original size MRA screen, but the screen was not made good enough to fit the bike correctly on to the same attachment points. I just wanted to change the screen because of irritating vibration noise with the original screen. But it worked because of the screws you need the use with the MRA screen. Now i just drilled 2 hols in to te original, i thrown away the MRA screen 😂
Not that I have noticed to be honest, but a foam insert was put in mine prior to purchase which tells me the previous owner may have had some shaking/ vibration
Yeah . Definitely Suzukiesqe... especially in the blue. The later 650F looks a bit edgier before going twin lights with the 650R Still loving my 600F though Your soggyness makes me feel better about not getting out at the moment though 😉
Yeah absolutely, yeah definitely started to go edgier but the 650r looks much nice imo. Hahaha yeah never pleasant being out and soggy but it must be done 🤣
@@pudmoto I quite like riding in the rain but need to sort some wet weather gear. I had an eye op a week ago and my vision is not fully back yet so I'm not allowed out 😭
-1/+1 sprocket change and get the Ermax double bubble windshield! I want to get it reprogrammed also, maybe add 300-500rpm to the limiter as well, I think this bike can manage this hehee
@@pudmoto I just lovee the racing appearance a double bubble has! I got the clear one, but the light smoke always looks nice as well. Look into it if you have stock! Supposedly it increases top speed by a couple and the wind protection is better but it really is more of an aesthetic upgrade for me. And it's 2 screws you need to do to get it. But everyone talks about removing one teeth from the front, it makes a massive difference in this bike.You're gonna lose some top end speed but 99% of the time you aren't doing top speed runs, at least I hope.
@@manbiteslife3110 ''maybe add 300-500rpm to the limiter as well, I think this bike can manage this hehee'' It has the cbr 600 rr engine nothing will hapen to it, mine has 100k km rides and sounds like new.
@@margusjuur7881 The fun is in acceleration my friend, not top speed. For top Speed just get a 1000cc and enjoy the 300+.. 600cc is for fun , revs and twisty roads. This bike is happy to play on all the rev range. If you want economy, get something else.
Where is the CBR600F manufactured? Regarding Honda reliability - I have a 2018 Honda CB125r. Manufactured in Thailand. Reliability is crap. It stopped working intermittently after a long day in the rain. Some sort of electrical problem that I can't seem to track down around the injection system. Before that, the indicators didn't work in the rain sometimes! It rusts pretty badly too. It has been stuck in the garage for a year because I have a big bike now and haven't been able to fix it before reselling it. It is very fiddly to take apart too. Only has 15,000 miles on it. I also have a 2006 GSXR 750 made in Japan. It has 30,000 miles on it. I put 15,000 miles on it and have never had an issue with it and it's easy to service. My experience of Honda is that it's crap if it wasn't manufactured in Japan.
The 2012 model was actually built in Italy as far as I'm aware. That's strange because I had the 2018 cb125r too and I can't fault it at all in terms of reliability. It was absolutely perfect for me and I totally loved it. Only thing I had was the forks became pitted and I had to replace the seals.
Supersports don't really have usable rear brakes mate. The ratio is 90-10% front-rear , on supersports. This may be a "sport touring" but it's not it's just a supersport, with high clip ons. That's why the rear brake does nothing. Plus if you've got the ABS version like me , it will never grab hard.
@@pudmoto I think I am due to buying some rear pads as well. But I rarely use rear brake, it's also combined braking, so whenever you hit the fronts a little bit of the rear is applying. But it's probably only good for low speed turns, or adding 5%-10% stopping power.
@@pudmoto I got the EBC sintered pads and they are stopping you amazing, just make sure your mechanic greases them correctly if you aren't the one doing the deed. They squeak a bit else. EBC or BREMBO , sintered ones. Never go cheap on the brakes!

Same as that, hoon it a bit and watch the fuel disappear, but isn't that why we buy them
It absolutely is why we buy them haha don't mind paying abit extra to have fun getting from A to B

The upload frequency is 🔥 at the minute mate. Know you planned on being consistent but it's genuinely noticeable and the content is on top form
Thanks for noticing mate!!! Yeah I'm serious at this now, it'll just continue 👌👌💪
love it as always love the content every uploads i be hoping to own a Suzuki GSXR125 At some point this year
Thanks so much Andy! Love the support!!! Oh mate that would be awesome! Let us know if you end up getting one
@@pudmoto ye bro i will let you know buddy
Any buzzing, rattling in dashboard/windshield area @ 4K RPM ?
@PeraNS0 I haven't noticed that but when I bought the bike it already has a bung installed I'm guessing to stop this problem
Agree! it is a great looking bike.
Thanks very much bud 👌👌👌

I sent it to the mechanic he said piston 1 and 4 are not working.

Oooof I wish I was much more mechanically minded and could really help out
I had a similar problem after it had sit over the winter. 5months.
Tried everything, and finally had injectors ultrasonic cleaned. Problem solved!
if your mechanic can't figure it out the take it elsewhere.

Agree with everything you said mate, even tho mine is 22 years old it’s still bullet proof!! And I get about 160 miles to a tank.
Exactly mate they are brilliant, I think mine may getting more miles because I believe yours is more powerful isn't it being the predecessor.
I think that’s the case about 8 more bhp, I doubt there would be much in it in a race tho 😊
@@DaveCBR600F Yeah perhaps not much difference there then haha
I got the same bike, which screen do you use on the bike, whats the brand?
I believe the screen I use is just stock to be honest bud, been after a bubble one though, just waiting on funds improving
Oh yeah oke, i wanted to change the screen with a original size MRA screen, but the screen was not made good enough to fit the bike correctly on to the same attachment points.

Do you have any vibration noise?

Are you kidding me? The top speed is barely 230km/h and 100km/h 6gear 6k rpm (gps) and you suggest to even lower it? 😮

Yeah bang on for slow speed stuff it is great, I'm due new front pads now anyway so I'll get that mighty stopping power back!
