Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR600RR 2024

The Honda CBR600RR is a sporty bike with impressive riding pleasure and precise handling. The well-adjusted suspension, powerful brakes and reliable quickshifter ensure an excellent riding experience, especially on winding roads. The comfortable seating position and the modern display also contribute to the positive overall impression. However, there are also some weaknesses: The heat generated by the under-seat exhaust can be uncomfortable in city traffic and when travelling at slow speeds, and the engine's power at low revs leaves a lot to be desired. In addition, the soft suspension can reach its limits on the race track. Overall, the CBR600RR is an excellent bike for sporty riders who are willing to make these compromises.
