Chris West thinks the world of his Honda CBR600RR, so much so that he would choose it over a new one any day. He tells us why.
I have had this bike for a few years now and I really do like it. Although I rode bikes quite a bit when I was younger, when I had kids and stuff my riding took a bit of a back seat for a few years, but now I’m back into it I’m absolutely loving life.
Because I’d had a few years out, I didn’t want to go for something ballistically fast, like a modern ‘thou’, but at the same time I did want a ‘proper’ bike, so I thought the CBR600RR was the perfect thing.
I’d ridden this model RR before and really liked it, but before I bought this bike, I actually bought a brand new one from Honda. I enjoyed the new bike, but it didn’t feel that comfortable. There was something about it that wasn’t as nice as the old one.
