Another great looking naked / semi-naked that I wish we could get here!
CBR600RR motor in a semi-faired sport standard? Adjustable suspension? Hell YA!

wow. damn we really need to get all the bikes over here too. it's a shame, i wouldnt mind the CBF600S. But then again I figure in the US people might as well buy the RR. honestly i'd rock a yamaha r125 anyday. would probably fun for commuting.

i would trade my fizzer for a CBR-based motor/transmission in a humingbird's heartbeat.

wavex · 12-03-2007, 02:26 PM

doesn't look bad... but I do prefer the frame design and undertail exhaust of the FZ... In my experience Hondas do have great motors/trannis, but I don`t have major issues with the Fizzer...

mdierker · 12-03-2007, 02:52 PM

yes they are some nice looking bikes, but im not going to run out and trade in my FZ for one even if they were offered in the US. Also these 2008 models dont look like a 2008 more like a 99-00 styled bike. Maybe its just me but if im going to by a new bike i want a new looking bike. as Wavex said honda motors are fine but yamaha motors have proven themselves for years.

In 2004, Honda put out the 599...a naked version of the f4i

Honda 2004 599 (CB600F / Hornet)

Yes and that model was overpriced for what they were selling, compared to the FZ6, Now the 919 is a different story.

The CBF is styled after classic Hondas, and borrows from both the Hornet and CBR..at least that what they say.

I did not think the classic Hondas were worth repeating. Of course I find that true of most bikes from the 70s...

I heart Honda. There, I said it.

Actually the 599 motor is based on the F3, not the F4i.

slimjim · 12-03-2007, 05:49 PM

I'd take the 599 over the CBF on looks alone. Wouldn't trade the FZ for either of them. Adjustable suspension though....Hhmm....that would be nice.

I still think Honda make ugly nakeds. I don't know what it is but they almost seem too clean and tidy and just blah.
To my mind, Kawasaki have made the best nakeds, followed by Yamaha, then Suzuki and Honda a distant 4th.

looks like a fz6 knock-off to me
