[@mohamedelkhatib1172]

As i trust your reviews i got my self yesterday a cbr600rr 2016 it is completely stock and as you said before im planning to leave it the way it is except for the slip on so im thinking of one of the two to get a bros exhaust or the toce i heard the toce over the youtube videos and it sounds amazing so which one do you recommend ?

[@kakitkam]

this is the second day since i own my 2008 cbr600rr and it's really a nice and friendly bike to ride. 7 years and this bike got zero technical problem, you got to believe in honda build quality. for those whos thinking 250cc or 600cc fairing to go, just go for cbr600rr and i promise you wont regret

[@CycleCruza]

+kakitkam I never had one problem ever on my former 2008 cbr600rr. Those bikes are bullet-proof like most Hondas are.

[@atotheron4778]

+CycleCruza what was the problem?

[@NOTORIOUS_CODM]

+CycleCruza That why Honda is the most sold bike in the world is cheap and very good quality

[@porq2013]

I have a 05 Honda CBR600RR and I have to agree completely. I had this bike for about 2 years and about 23K and still no major problems, just basic oil and tire replacement. I personally do not like the look of the newer 600RR, it does look older and the nose is ugly. I wish it had the 1000RR look to be honest. People don't believe me when I say I have an 05, it looks a lot newer. Great post CC as always.

[@CycleCruza]

Thanks! Yeah Honda must have been inspired by the Chevy camero when they designed this bike. lol It's cool though because it makes our bikes stay looking newer. lol

[@c_rhynehardt]

CycleCruza the NEW camaro not the older generations. I have a 99 camaro and I don't like the new ones. Just sayin..... Love all your videos!!

[@CycleCruza]

c rhynehardt Thanks! 99 camero is a cool car, when I used to be into cars. lol I haven't looked at a car the same way since I got a motorcycle. Maybe one day I'll go back liking cars again.... lol

[@c_rhynehardt]

CycleCruza yeah I know what you mean. I love my bike too but my car is so much fun to drive. It's got a 6 speed tranny and an LS1 engine....it can get up and go lol

[@hondasrdbest9614]

c rhynehardt Hey again, I'm surprised to hear yr interested in cars and bikes. What kind of bike do you ride? and how long you been riding?

[@davidbrook9686]

Your videos are so unique and often more informative than any other motovlogger, but your channel is more than just motovlogging and that's what I like! Keep up the good work!

[@tylerk6007]

I envy the 2008 model so much, I think it looks amazing

[@PainDive1]

+CycleCruza I bought 2013 CBR 600RR little less than a month ago. It had been my dream bike for years. Yes she's my first bike but I rode bicycles from the age of 6 till my 20s lol. I just got on 800 miles today and I haven't crashed the bike cause I took your advice and for the first 560 miles I respected the throttle. At 565 miles I took her down on highway 77 and rev all the gears past 13krpm to finish breaking her in before first service. I'm extremely happy going Honda and I knew Honda was the best route anyways. My dad has been riding Honda and nothing but Honda for over 30 years and none of his bikes ever broke down or got him hurt in anyway. Thanks for the videos man! They're awesome and sometimes you make me laugh so hard it hurts lol. I'm an old guy BTW 33 and riding a supersport. CBR.. 600.. Double R :-)

[@InitialD604]

Hey CycleCruza! You're totally right, Honda should be paying you, the bike remains unchanged since 2013 actually and that's the model I bought after watching you're reviews of the advantages of the 600RR for street use. Lots of time and research went into my choice of the CBR over the other big 4 models, but it was definitely you and you're fantastic vlogs that helped me make up my mind. Ride as fast as you're angel can follow, God bless Saatch Boogie

[@CycleCruza]

Cool! Another CBR600rr fan! Best of luck and God Bless!

[@benjaminsamuel7297]

I love the the newer models looks, it looks like the new modern edgy and less curved designs. I don't know why people dislike the looks

[@macjuggen4845]

You run two brother, all the specs I wanted, and a comparison of previous models with good insight. Great vid, my time well spent.

[@MrPhipper]

The replaceable tank cover is really cool

[@CycleCruza]

MrPhipper I didn't realize what a convenient feature this was until everybody kept asking me how I painted my tank because most other bikes you have to painfully drain and remove the gas tank to have it painted which people say is a royal pain in the butt. Honda makes it so easy. My cbr1000rr is the same way, fairings are easy peazy.

[@MeeAndChicken]

Can't help thinking I'm listening to a black dude. Cool tho I must say!

[@pointtheblame]

Hilarious! Me to!

[@sp769]

So he's a wiggler? I was just about to go get a CBR600 on his recommendation! But a wiggler will say anythings the best, especially the last item of stolen property found in its possession.

[@xtrekrex]

I'm part of the very few that have the newer model. I live in a city in SoCal that has a high population of sport bike riders. I see the usual GSX-Rs, R6s, older CBR600RRs, 636s, BUT I've only seen 2 of the newer models cruising around since the bike came out 2 years ago. I wasn't a big fan of the way the newer models looked at first. Now I really love the look! The newer models look very sophisticated and not so radical like an R6. I really do enjoy my 2014 CBR600RR and often get compliments from strangers. I even get little kids waving from their parents car as they drive by. That's the good thing about getting a bike that not a lot of people see.

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

I love the red white and blue bike, 600 or 1000cc. John McGunniess rides one so that's cool too. Emissions can quickly be removed, and the HP brought back, so no big deal there. Some day I might get another nice light bike like the 600cc, but it'd be tough after owning a liter bike.

[@andrejarnautovic2775]

2008-2012 are my favorite Honda CBR600RR absolutely amazing machine and looks more slick then the newer models even though the new models look sexy!

[@navsquid32]

Good review, bro. I just picked up a 2014 CBR600RR, and was curious about the differences with the earlier models. It was very useful to get the input from someone who has had an earlier model provide an overview of the newer model.

[@onesurfboards808]

i've owned 2 - 2007 honda CBR600rr. 1 - 2013 cbr600rr, and I just bought a 2008 cbr600rr. the 07 - 08 has more HP. it's also much cheaper to fix, i ride ALOT of track days. I've got some serious horsepower added into my 2013, which is for sale. Its just too $ to crash. I love the 2013-16 aggressive front end looks, easier to put together, way better wheels, [potholes wont damage the rims] the newer front forks are DREAMY! Micheal Dunlop TOOK the IOM TT supersport tropies when Honda gave him the new 2013 cbr600rr! I'm going to add plenty more HP to my "new" 2008 Honda CBR600rr, as I finish building it now. they are great bikes. I cant say enough good things about them. the 2007/08 is the same bike all the way through to 2016. If you change the Air Duct and headlights you can ACTUALLY fully mount up a 2013 -16 kit on the Older bike (i did it when they were side by side). you buy the wheels, and you have the newer style with more Horsepower. i have a R6 which is for sale, yamaha bikes make no sense. the dumb things they do - for reasons I cant fathom are too many to list. it's also a FATTY. R6 = 357 lbs dry compared to the 07 - 16 Honda CBR600rr - 341 dry. my friend has a 07 GSXR, so many mechanical issues. Honda is the biggest auto-bike company in the world. if they want a certain price point on brakes from a supplier, they get it. I've owned 2 - 2007, 2 - 2008, 2 - 2005, 1 - 2013 CBR600rr. and 3 - Cbr1000rr's. also a ducati 1098, R6. i'll ride anything once.

[@Peskarik]

Oh, forgot to say, Daytona has no jerkiness AT ALL and it leans progressively at any speed and any angle, very confidence-inspiring! Going down Swiss Alps Sunday evening filtering through standing traffic it was magnificent!

[@cbrad6002013]

Hey man love your vids ! I bought a 2013 cbr 600 and I wasn't a huge fan of them at first but then I saw one up close at a dealership and every time I looked at it , it kept growing on me... Lot of people don't like the front end.. and as you said it may seem to look old schoolish which I get .. but to me the headlights look like as if it's pissed off or something and Honda designed the headlights to direct more airflow to the intake ..as you would already know lol..but when you think about it...cars have been bringing back retro looks into their cars and the most noticeable parts are headlights and tail lights... Aka all the domestic American muscle cars...so to me I kind of got over that detail and thought it was a cool idea and different look for supersports.. I love the look of all super sports but I have always been a Honda guy .. anyways once again love your vids man ride safe man !

[@bowenleigh3327]

I hated the way these new CBR's looked until I saw one roll up in Gun-metel grey paint job and it looked like something Batman would ride. Totally changed the way I see these things.

[@thomaswarren2699]

Absolutely love the look of the '14 cbr

[@camilo19201920]

I have the 2008 CBR, I love it. I used other bikes and they just don't compare. Mine is all orange.

[@PiznesPiznes]

My favorite color on 2008 model!

[@wanastunt]

camilo19201920 I've got the same one, everyone loves that color!

[@cjchristian8935]

The Orange '08 is my first bike. Talk about spoiled! Nothing else I've ever ridden can match the overall feeling that that CBR gives you.

[@jesterkatz223]

Back in 07 I got mine virgin 2007 cbr 600rr. Best purchase in my life. I hv considered to go to 1000cc but i dont want to sell the 600rr.

[@PVo-1111]

I just bought the 2017 R6. Oh boy is the cbr smooth and comfortable . I miss my cbr600rr and my cbr1000rr

[@reviewdykeusa8347]

I might get a 2007-2008 cbr600rr this summer can't wait.

[@nickolinkz202]

2007 is the best

[@EyeForKnowledge.]

For those who like to work on their bikes all the time, get a Kawasaki or a Yamaha. For those who want to ride for 100,000 miles without any issues, buy a Honda or a Suzuki.

[@TboneSTEAK111]

06-07 CBRs are my favorite looks of a bike EVER. I had to jump on mine the second I saw it (07 1000rr) and I get compliments everywhere I go, and no other bike I've ridden on makes me or my bike feel so sexy. I don't like the colorschemes of the newer cbrs, blue white and red? Nah. the 08- i think the 11??? had the wierd ass bugeyes in the front and it just turned it off for me. 06-07 reign supreme in looks and design IMO, and since people were bitching about the 04-05 motors having no balls, they packed the 06-07 with so much torque its godly. Only gripe about the CBR's is the ugly ass dash. Looks like it uses old school retro style dash from an old bronco but orange. I wish it had the dash of an R1 or a ZX10 style where it's all digital. I honestly think Honda has been losing fundings to do any of these mentioned, and honda has been known to be lacking in the horsepower department, even though it is ALL usable power. Put my bike in a straight line against a GSXR1000, maybe an R1 and I'm toast. Ergonomically Honda hands down has it, but alot of people go by numbers and if it's lacking it HP, they'll skip it.

[@CycleCruza]

Looks are subjective, we could all argue on which bikes look better but at the end of the day all that matters is the riding experience. Imo, I liked the looks of the previous gen cbr1000rr but much has been improved on the blade since then.

[@TheBucsAnthem]

***** I had an 07 1KRR....bought it new....blacked it out....and it was beautiful. The bike was big was very powerful and handling was good too. You know....I said the same thing too about the 08 1KRRs when they came out....hated the looks...so what did I do??? I bought an 07 600RR cause of all of the rave reviews....love the amazing handling but missed the 1KRR power. THEN a few years later.....I had a chance to buy an 2008 1000RR Special Edition (Black) with all the mods I wanted and then some....I couldn't pass this up.......even though I didn't like the look of the stubby nose. AND I AM SO GLAD I DID!!!!!!!!!!! The 08 1KRR is an amazing bike.......Of course it had the power grunt of a 1000rr....but as many others have pointed out...it feels like a 600rr and handles like one too! I personally think it handles better and I have more confidence on it. Also, when people say....about the looks...how they don't like how the nose looks......but I will say look like others have said in the past....you have to see it in person.....the looks grew on me and I personally love that old school nose mixed with new school......it's awesome and I love it!!!!!! You should try the 08 and on up....I am glad I did.

[@TboneSTEAK111]

TheBucsAnthem After reading what I said I will make a few changes, my buddy this year got a 08 1krr, and I will admit, the looks DID grow on me, at first I was like "meh, it looks alright" then the more i rode with him the more i liked the front end, and the thinner rear end with the side exhaust, looked pretty cool. And from what I said about my 1krr getting smoked by r1's or zx10's.. WRONG. With similar mods (Pipe, air filter, tune) i did 5 races with my buddies that own a 2005 GSXR1000, 2006 ZX10, and 2008 cbr1krr, and my 07 won everytime no problem and they have been riding longer then me. I didn't use a clutch to shift up and told them to do the same but I still walked them and it surprised me.

[@TheBucsAnthem]

Hummmmmm........well your 07 1krr shouldn't have "walked them" sooooooooooo........either they are not very good on the track or you have tremendous riding skills. My 08 is modded out with the exception of the suspension.......and it's definitely not something for a beginner or for someone who cannot handle lots a power.......I've always modded out my bikes....and I will tell you that the 08 is still better than the 07 1krr as an overall package.......but each rider falls in love with their bikes......and at the end of the day

[@TboneSTEAK111]

TheBucsAnthem I saw a 2011 used BMW S1000r at a dealer with 15k miles for like $10k. Not bad at all. They were all talkin shit saying "oh the cbr's are slow, the ZX10 and GSXR have more horsepower blah blah blah itll rape your bike". They were very quiet afterwards

[@suzukir123]

Another thing the new 2014 and 2015 bikes don't have, although not important, the tripage third eye. The light that sits in between the top portion of the head lights, near the wind screen. Thats one of my favorite things about the 2003-2010 cbr 600rrs. Im an avid lighting enthusiast as well, so if I get the cbr 60rr, the tripage third eye WILL be customized. The eye will be LED, and the head lights will be HID.

[@nicougrikify]

Hey Cruza, Been watchin your vids for a while and youre def one of the reasons that i just got my bike Seeing you ride that bike and talk about it so deeply made me fall in love with it, and after 3 long years of waiting, I've finally purchased my very own CBR600 dooooble ARRHHH hahaha.

Runs like new as far as I can tell, gobs of torque! holy cow this bike is FAST! He's selling it for $2800...seems like a really good deal to me...what you folks think?

[@andrew3232]

got on a 2015 cbr at a show a few months back - super aggressive! the triumph daytona 675 was easily the most comfortable supersport. The new R1 was more comfortable than cbr; definitely heavier, but actually less aggressive.

It's a little scratched up on the fairings but it's my first bike and I still love it. Really fun but you gotta be careful. I gotta thank CycleCruza who really helped me out with some defensive riding videos.

[@Chris10rx]

I also thought the bike looked old school when I saw. The new look of the Honda 6 is just blah. The sad part is even the red can't make it look good. Red normally enhance the looks and aggressiveness of the bike. Not this time lol However, this bike looks great in the repsol colors. If anybody gets the new Honda 6, get the repsol color. It didn't even look good with solid black.

[@glennrudolph]

I have been watching a ton of your videos. Unreal how much content you have on here! That said, which 600cc would you think is the most comfortable? I have a cbr500 that i love because of ergonomics. Just wish a 600 felt the same!

[@Peskarik]

We bought 2010 600RR (American bike, actually, and only 2500 miles on the clock) for my girl (she still has her 696 Monster for now). It is a nice bike, feels agile even though it is 197kg wet (due to C-ABS, I would have bought ABS-less model, but my gf wanted ABS no question), quite abrupt in the corners though, leans, leans, then BOOM drops on the side. It surprised me in the hairpins with this behavior, but then maybe it was my fault, it was my first ride on it and it was 0C temperature, wet roads, and snow on the hills. Sounds very agressive, that exhaust, I like it. Big problem - load change behaviour. Cannot understand why Honda cannot adjust the freaking gas since years, on-off gas is very jerky. Now, I have an old but beloved 2002 CBR600F4i (RaceTech front, including valves, Wilbers shock etc) and it does not have that jerkiness even though the chain is on its last breath. Also, my 2014 Triumph Daytona 675 has no jerkiness whatsoever, amazingly smooth bike, a revelation in Swiss Alps (I drove 6000 miles there last year). BTW, 2010 Fireblade with full Bazzazz suit and custom tuned on dyno, it is jerky as well.... In any case, CBR600RR is a very nice machine, I hope my gf keeps it instead of Monster 696 which is good in the mountains, but pain in the city. CycleCruza, I suggest you try new Daytona 675. I am attached to CBR as well, but Daytona is much better bike in every respect (except seat hight, it you are short you will have problems).

[@CycleCruza]

Serge Go No problems with my 2008 cbr600rr, maybe that's something they did on the 09+ cbr600rr. I also own a 2012 cbr1000rr and it's throttle response is smooth as butter, however, on the 2012 they re-mapped the engine so that probably smoothed it out. I don't see myself getting anymore supersports, next bike I get in place of my cbr600rr will be some different type of bike this time. The 1000rr stays though.

[@Peskarik]

CycleCruza Why is Fireblade staying and 600 going? Why no more supersports? What are you thinking about next?

[@beefcake3131]

08 looks way better and way more aggressive IMO.

Hey dude, great video - I'm buying a 07' "double-r" soon for my first bike and I'd rather have it than other bikes even if I could afford the payments. I'm glad you pointed out the newer style looks older - what's up with that? I've been out of the street bike loop for too long

Cold World Looks are subjective, it's more about the riding experience and these bikes are the same bike so the riding experience will be the same. I highly doubt that Big Piston fork makes much of a difference, from what I heard it's not well suited to the bike. The old fork is great, a change was not needed.

[@xsaber101]

Cold World CycleCruza is actually right. the old bikes look a lot nicer overall and i couldn't figure out why until these videos. I can't afford to pay insurance for a 600RR yet but hopefully in a few years they change the look in time for me to get one :)

I'm looking at a 2007 cbr600rr with 5.6k miles for $5,200 from a guy on craigslist. Fairings are mint, only mods are a slip on exhaust, flush signals and a fender eliminator.

[@CycleCruza]

HeroDanny Have it checked at a honda dealer to be sure it's in good shape.

[@HeroDanny]

CycleCruza Ain't nobody got time for that. I am mechanically inclined I know if a motor is bad or not. + it's a honda so I believe in the engineering. I'm just going to drain the oil to make sure there's no shavings then i'll Test ride it and make sure everything runs properly, then i'll pull the trigger. Fairings alone are worth $2,500. I think i'll be alright :)

[@mgelliott1]

HeroDanny So can you do a leak down or compression check or determine valve adjustment issues by seeing if there are shavings in the oil? Is being mechanically inclined sufficient to make you an expert on the 600RR engine? I used to repair jet-engine helicopters in the Army and consider myself "inclined", but I still think CC's advice should be heeded. You may not have "time", but the first avoided walk home (or $1,000 repair bill) will more than make up for 1-2 hours at the motorcycle shop (where you will STILL end up if you can't figure out what is wrong and fix it yourself). You also can get an EVEN better price if the mechanic points out any serious issues.

[@HeroDanny]

The closest honda dealer is literally 120 miles away... I've never had an issue with buying a bike on craigslist and i've bought tons of things. Yes his advice is good, but it's not necessary. Bottom line, my money, my decision. If I buy the bike and it throws a rod then i'll come back and let you say "i told you so".

[@CycleCruza]

HeroDanny You are rolling the dice but it's your call. Good luck!

[@taylorlivingston3502]

I prefer my 08 CBR to the 15 CBR, The new CBRs are hideous in my opinion, they look too bulky and more like a slightly slimmed down VFR 800. How ever, here in NZ we don't have emissions restrictions like in the USA and the 2015 600rr pumps out about 126BHP.

[@RomeJunior310]

Man bro your awesome thanks for helping me decide on what kind of bike to get. Great info

[@TheNobleLoyalist]

i never liked CBRs styling but wow it looks beautiful!! if i was still interested in 600cc SSs id consider the CBR after my R6. im getting a Daytona 675r or GSXR 750 now. that guys 08 white CBR is anazing!! i would love to see the 2015 CBR in all white.

[@jimmybaggs5342]

One thing that disappoints me is that the newer CBR600rr is actually slower 0-60 than my sv650...

[@thisisbenji90]

+Jimmy Baggs It's hard to say, lots of times the 0-60 times that are published vary widely from test to test, even for the same bike. Sometimes they measure acceleration on a drag strip and other times it's ons one dusty abandoned road.

[@TheMachRider]

+Jimmy Baggs Would be really surprised if that's the case. SV is quick to 60 but nothing after that. 600's will be decently quick and blow by an SV after that. SV compared to a 600cc would be similar to a 600cc vs a 750 or older 1000 on top end. That being said, 600RR's do 0-60 with a professional rider in about 3.0 seconds. SV's are generally half a second longer. Magazines post different times year to year. CBR is a faster bike, easily. That being said, SV's rip in the right hands. Less of a knock against the CBR and more of a good point for the SV.

[@jimmybaggs5342]

+TheMachRider I'm finding a wide range of numbers. Obviously a huge number of variables are present that aren't when testing a car. This source reports a 0-60 time of *3.5* seconds for the SV: www.cycleworld.com/2008/07/16/frugal-fuelers-suzuki-sv650-first-look/ This one quotes a 0-60 time of *3.36* for the CBR600RR: www.motorcycle-usa.com/2011/05/article/2011-honda-cbr600rr-street-comparison/ So even if the CBR is faster it may only by one or two hundredths of a second.

[@TheMachRider]

Which is why the Sv is a great little bike. The Sv does start losing steam not much after 60 vs a 600 which doesn't really let off until closer to 100. The cbr is quite a bit quicker 0-120. I almost bought an Sv a while back, would have been good fun

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

I owned a SV650. It has more torque than any 600 supersport today up to 10,000 rpm. It no doubt gets out of the hole better. Mine ripped like crazy and would even break the rear tire lose on a quick snap of the throttle. It had a M4 Carbon pipe and the R6 throttle tube, but it was quick. It even sounded better than most Ducatis I heard. On a side note, I test rode a new Monster 1200 and the SV650 has more torque on the bottom than the Monster, no joke. The Monster had to be at 4,000 rpm before it pulled, the SV happily rode along well below that. Glad to see Suzuki bringing it back.

[@jayzxiang]

I hope that the upcoming cbr600rr will have a traction control just like kawasaki bmw and some other bike.If honda have a TRC Built in electronic steering damper and ABS that will be great!!!! Anyone agree with that?

[@nickmola-vongtheva5522]

you convinced me to get my 600rr but i couldnt get an 07 so i settled with an 06 which was sort of close enough

[@valentinojoey]

Is that an oem seat cowl on your 08? Where did you buy it, looks good

[@adriana6922]

On a whim, would you choose 600rr or 1000rr?

[@cbellify9628]

Adrian A cbr600r till I can afford a Bmw s1000r

[@jbdoggy]

Hi cyclecruza Im 178cm tall & weight abt 63kg. I recently sat on an old 600rr. Quite possibly a generation or 2 earlier then yours. I could just about flat foot with my legs completely straight. Would you think this bike wld be too big or heavy for me? Not sure if the newer generation have lower seats or not. How tall are you by the way?

[@jsthemess3283]

I could have got ANY bike...so I got the k8 gsxr750.... 2008 was an amazing year for bikes... I might buy an 08 cbr600rr as a backup I like the grey and blue, it looks like anikans podracer

[@RacingThroughReality]

Where are you from Cycle Cruza? I live down near the Triple Nickel! Ride it & the Hocking Hills every weekend on my 600RR!

[@letscheckitout1985]

Congrats you love your bike and you think it’s better than anything out there

[@DyingBreed1776]

btw that 2012 CBR 1000 you own is my favorite CBR they have made. I still remember the first time I saw one it was silver

[@CountryCruiser]

Awesome channel, subbed

[@CycleCruza]

Thanks for the sub and comment! Much appreciated.

[@jdmxnos]

Speedometer looks like they never change

[@africanhistory]

I think there is a limit to innovation. Why the r6 cannot change and why when the R1 changed they messed it up. Looks like a Transformer. CBR600 Yeah it does not have a slipper clutch. I have no hand issues with my r6. My bike has seat heat issues and it has no undertail exhaust. The heat comes from the exposed frame and It can get ugly.

[@CycleCruza]

R6 needs a remake bad, still a nice-looking bike but that bike needs to get hip with some improvements already.Yamaha needs to increase the mid-range power on the R6, it's the only current 600cc that's all top end power.

[@africanhistory]

CycleCruza The low end is not there, not sure about the mid. You get it up to 10K and you will get that much closer to the afterlife. I need to ride other bikes to compare. But some friends who ride Honda blade struggled when they tried to ride Yamaha R1, they said it is very unforgiving, us riding a Honda is very easy. But you become one with the bike. Even this wrist issue is not relevant when you are accustomed to the bike.

[@csc-photo]

Cycle did you ever have your valves checked / adjusted on your '08? Honda manual calls to have them done at 16k but many riders say it's not necessary unless you suspect (hear) there's a problem.

[@CycleCruza]

No, I called the local honda dealership to inquire about a valve adjustment at 18k miles and they laughed at me and said I don't need it done for a long time. There is a viewer of mine who had his checked at 35k and they were still in spec. My bike still runs like new at 22k miles. If it were a kawi, suzuki or anything else I would have had the valves checked. This is why I tell everyone to get a honda, they are the best built bikes and most reliable.

[@FarmleagueSportscards]

oh hell to the yeah type reviews to me............this what I like to see new vs.old

[@daevster6663]

the new cbr is okay so it may be a little slower but its not anything noticeable also looks ya it is a little different but a good different

[@TrickRacing]

The 2013-2021 models are better without a question

[@SauloMogi]

Daytona 675R or Ninja 636 ? what do u think guys which one is better

[@ejazhusnan]

In the states? 636. It's much easier, inexpensive, and convenient to get parts for. More Kawasaki dealers by a long shot, and overall the bike itself is just better as Kawasaki is better than Triumph (imo). Easy example being Kawasaki's amazing race heritage. Hopefully this helped :)

[@CycleCruza]

Daytona 675r all day BUT if you live in the US the parts for it will not be as easy to come by and dealerships are far and few in between. You may want to check with the guys on the forum for that bike to see how the reliability is. The reason I stick with honda is because reliability is number 1 on my priority list because I'd rather be riding than fixing. So far all I've been doing is riding.

[@-Cold-World]

I had the 2013 ZX6R (636) sold it and got the 2013 675R, The 675R. is hands down the best bike in the class. It has more torque, more HP, better triple engine, it's lighter with ABS, more nimble, slim frame, looks better, better suspension, better brakes, quickshifter, steel braided brake lines, CF parts, better tires, better gauge cluster, ect, ect. You get a lot more for your money with the 675R. Ninja's so common, the Triumph is in a higher class, just looks and feels like a nicer bike. In short get the 675R! I got one used 10 months old with 1100 miles mint condition for $10,500 used private party.

[@-Cold-World]

Husnan Ejaz Haha yeah the Kawasaki is better... says who? Did you read that? Have you ridden each bike extensively? You're entitled to your opinion, I respect that, but where are you getting it from?

[@ZoneTelevision]

What Cold World said is pretty much spot on. The Daytona can be tuned to be insanely more fast than it already is to boot. It set the fastest lap speed/time at the Daytona 200 Last year. It reached speeds of about 186 mph as well. The Triple engine is the best of both worlds. Vtwin torque and screaming high-end like an inline 4.

[@chutichdang102]

Do you have any problem with the gas tank cover? Would like to see how they build.

[@STREETCITYMOB]

whats the difference between cbr600rr and cbr650F ??

[@hbkrider1643]

Confused on taking 2007 or the 2015 model. 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐

[@willie838]

Funny I feel the same way about the looks. I have an 06 1k rr, and I'd love for the mechanical and engine upgrades of the newer 1k rrs, but the body is all rounded and looks like bloat to me now, so the older bike still looks better Imo.

[@Joonagoona]

My 2006 600rr is a monster best 600rr for sure.

[@maurice3248]

I’m looking at getting this 2004 600rr with 30k miles is that safe to buy with that much mileage

[@raultorres7195]

Can't wait to get one :)

[@mcbuilder1816]

You don't need a power commander? Your right u don't "need" it but boy are u missing out on a huge difference in throttle response and gained hp/tq. Mine was louder and seemed faster but nothing compares to the tuned version it is now with the commander. U change air going in or out than u must change the fuel as well. Just saying..

[@acydicrxn]

Honda really should be paying you haha, just made the decision to get a 2007-2008 cbr600rr

[@everythinggaming7938]

You should get the 2024 version as your next bike bro

[@charleschaoyuan455]

Who wants a old bike when you got to choose a new one... Newer is better.

[@sukamtobw642]

how about 2012 cbr600rr? same?

[@itzajdmting]

Have you lowered the footpegs/rearsets on your 600rr? seem lower than many 600rrs I've seen.

[@slinkoplush3323]

My concern for new riders is you saying 600RRs are comfy bikes - they're not - hence the delineation 'SuperSport'. If you can do '12 hours' on this bike without a problem, you're in 1% of the population. Try a Street, Touring or Cruiser bike and see the difference.

[@CycleCruza]

SlinKO PluSh I was comparing the cbr600rr's comfort to other supersports, of course it's not as comfortable as a standard bike. However, some people like me like a stretched out aggressive position that supersport offer. The best part about a supersport is they usually have the best components like brakes and adjustable suspension along with having the best power-to-weight ratio at a fairly cheap price. However, I love all types of bikes and could have fun even on a scooter which I used to own.

[@slinkoplush3323]

CycleCruza Indeed Sports bike have the best components, which I find a shame because I enjoy Street bikes, and it's hard to find one with good brakes and suspension without paying silly Aprillia or BMW prices. I love the riding position and engine of the Suzuki Bandit 1250s, but the suspension and forks are subpar. Have you come across this website comparing riding angles for different bikes?: cycle-ergo.com

[@CycleCruza]

SlinKO PluSh yeah and the info on that site doesn't amount to much. You have t ride a bike to gauge it's true comfort level. You can always modify a supersport to be more comfortable like a street bike, just add heli-bars and adjustable rear sets, not a big deal.

[@KeystoneTexan]

I haven't been on your channel in a while but...I thought you were dead set against owning a liter bike? What changed?

[@CycleCruza]

Where do people get this? haha It's one thing to say I don't NEED a liter bike and it's another thing saying I will never get a liter bike. I never said I would NEVER get a liter bike, I just made fun of people who think a liter bike is the only bike to get and the douche-bags, but it was all in fun and not to be taken serious. This old motovlog proves I said I would consider buying a fireblade, go to 2:45 in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYKVh4R7fLaHhdE

[@adrianlegarda2105]

Lol you're the reason I got one of these ! You speak the truth as well, they should be paying you ! Thanks man

[@pinoybikeritaly]

The exhaust of cbr 07-08 is the same of cbr 600 rr 2013?

[@solomonsignet]

Great vid!!

[@mjcarlisle]

Hi cyclecruza, Want your technical advise , Iam putting an aftermarket exhaust on my 2012 cbr600rr, do you think it needs a power commander? How about fuel consumption ?

[@Fit4Life921]

hey cyclecruza, i'm thinking about getting an 07 -- is there a big difference between the 08 and 07?

[@Samsterdude1]

Yes. The bike was completely redesigned in 2008.

[@Fit4Life921]

Samuel Anderson what are the advantages of the 08 bike over the 07?

[@FreDCBelgium]

The bike was redesigned in 2007 and in 2008 the only thing that changed was the abs system...

[@FreDCBelgium]

No difference apart from that the 08 versions mosth likelly have abs and the 07 doesn't

[@socialkh9450]

HONDA CBR 600RR ABS,sound is good and good machines.

[@Gokumitsu9000]

powercommander is for when you have a full exhaust, not just slip on, right?

[@mantequilla606]

Power commander was the first mod to my FZ8, stock everything else.

[@CycleCruza]

You can get a PC even running a stock exhaust if you want but most people get them for a full exhaust or a slip-on, however, you don't NEED one for a slip-on exhaust but they recommend you get a PC if you are running a full exhaust. Imo, don't waste your money on a full exhaust anyways, you won't gain much hp to justify the expense. If you are looking for better sound and save a little weight just get a slip-on, 2 bros slip-on works fine on this bike even without a PC.

[@1Corinthians151-4]

Since me and cruza have the exact same 08 cbr600rr with same exhausts, I will agree that it's not necessary for the two bros slip on, when I installed the pc5 I downloaded the map specifically for what I have on my bike, you honestly can notice a difference, it doesn't add really any hp, maybe 2-3 it's honestly not much... But the throttle response is crisper, it makes the bike come alive just a little more, and plus you can fiddle with many of the options available, the ONLY con I have with the pc5 is that I noticed I lost maybe 8mpg. But I'll sooner or later change the ratio to get most of it back. Doesn't bother me, I make great money, but idk, if you wanna blow money that's fine, but you really don't need it...

[@TboneSTEAK111]

SickickSix I have a hi-flo air filter, BRISK platinum spark plugs, HMF exhaust with full system exhaust wrap from headers to mid pipe, with a PC5 dyno tuned and I'm lucky to get 140 miles to a tank not riding like a dickhead, and that's running it till it dies. I'm pretty sure I lost more then 8mpg lol

[@1Corinthians151-4]

Yeah I can get right at 155 before I'm scratching for fuel, pc5 really does change your mpg like crazy. Sorry I said 8 because I was thinking of something I shoulda said 13.

[@pekingblush]

Design teams are funny--they're like: "for 2015, let's make all of our bikes hideous"

[@vaerenbergh]

i just bought a CBR600 RR from 2007, where do i find that tail light you have because i got the original under the exhaust and its clunky looking, thanks and greets from Belgium :)

[@ekosetyohaning9967]

I like your 2008 CBR600RR!

[@hojak88]

You're right, you are selling bikes for Honda. You've sold me on a CBR...600.....double arhhggg.

[@funnyzen6002]

Are those heli bars? Can you do a review of heli bars for the cbr? I have a cbr 600rr 2007 and I want more comfort so I'm looking at heli bars ..

[@2wheelsonly614]

2009 cbr with toce and all aftermarket stf ,6500 miles 7000$.........OR brand new 2015 RR for 8000$

[@HwaWoonKim]

taste is different i like the look of the ´15 model, but true there is no big difference

[@silversyber]

Hey, I'm looking into to purchasing one. Any price ranges if used?
