    Never seen more of a beautiful bike in my life. The designing in this bike is so a head of it's time. It looks fast but not so hot boy so it's just a classic look.

    I bought this bike in 1987 and every single person who pulled up along side me wanted to race. Big bore Harleys were the most fun. I'd even give em a gear or two head start...hahahaha...do true.

    I had a CBR600FK with the red, blue and white colour scheme. I put a micron slip on race can on it and had a stage 2 Dynojet kit put on it as well. It only put about 5mph on the top end (155mph), but boy did it accelerate. It had 48 1/2" holes drilled into the air box and you could hear it sucking the air in. The guy who tuned it used to be in a team that used to go to the TT. Those were the care free days and i mss em.

  • @maskedmotorsdiy3575
    @maskedmotorsdiy3575 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I can't believe how clean this bike is, even the swingarm is perfect. The year 1989 was when the insurance companies were cracking down on oft-crashed sportbikes, so Honda stopped calling it the Hurricane and only used CBR600 as the name. Because insurance companies (and the Kawasaki Ninja 600) know: "All things must hide from the Hurricane."

  • @Threee_Eyez

    Absolutely amazing specimen. I have a 1987 cbr600f, its it pretty good condition, not museum quality for sure but its in very good condition and it purrs like a kitten but roars like a lion from 9500 to 12000 rpm

    I never knew these hurricanes came in this color scheme until recently. I went to purchase some parts for my sons old Suzuki quad sport and the fella was a machine and parts flipper that had stumble across one of these (in this color) for ($250?) Idk some CRAZY price. And it was almost as crispy as this example. The guy must’ve dropped it and got scared because it had sat since ‘93? Or something and it has CRAZY low miles only problems I saw were cracked windshield and a missing left side rear view mirror. I was in awe over this machine. It’s actually on Marketplace as we speak for trade to a Honda Grom…. The whole reason I found this video.

    Your service department should be commended. Hardly anyone has the attention to detail anymore to line up the tire balance dots with the valve stem. Small details like this I notice. Great looking bike. Front brake lines are aftermarket, but other than that, a well preserved example.

    I bought a 1990 CBR-600f new off the showroom floor and still own it.
    It’s pearl white and silver, running Dyna ignition, V&H pro super sport pipe, steel braided lines, Ebc green pads.
    Would love to find a rear pillion cover like that 1989 has, if you run across one please let me know!

    Bill earns you a thumbs up! I bought a new leftover 1986 VFR 750 instead of the the 87 CBR 600 they had at the dealer I worked at. I always wondered if I made the right decision. It was back and orange if I recall. It was the 17" rims I wanted as my Interuptor had the odd 16" front that was in fashion for a time.

    Awesome video, brother. That is one gorgeous bike. Loved Billy telling you the story about him racing them. 170mph for a CBR 600, even though I know it wasn't stock, is mind blowing. Puts into perspective, how much power the new CBR 1000's must have. Great Video! PS. If I remember correctly, in the 80's Honda made a Hurricane that was red, white, and blue, like some of their old interceptors, if I'm correct in thinking?
