2024 HONDA CBR 600 RR Ride Review at Portimão | Supersport REVIVAL!

[@cruze86]

That under seat exhaust is mindblowing 😍

[@UsernameKate]

Very pretty!

[@okok-vt2mz]

​@@holylordofmadness6988so? still cool that they kept it on the new one

[@gunukulanaren2957]

​@@holylordofmadness6988why are you soo pissed and look at the new texture on it looks like carbon fiber and its just lovely to look at

Lol you guys are freaking out over ancient exhaust designs 🤣

[@woofiooxx]

@@holylordofmadness6988wtf is your problem kid

[@uttamgala7186]

Having owned a 2006 CBR 600RR, this bike will forever have a special place in my heart.

[@jiimmiij4428]

Same brotha got an 05

[@danhollyoak4793]

I honestly thought you were keeping up with John and then he gave you the wave and just sent it! (that's not a dig at your riding. It's just crazy to see how fast these guys actually are!) Really good video Kate, Great riding!

[@Skiamakhos]

Lovely that the racers both hung around a bit to give Kate the line & teach her a bit. She's a decent rider but there's always something to learn from watching the likes of John McGuinness.

[@Frank-xo7zj]

I've got a 2012...luv it And I'm 60yrs old....😊

[@terryboehler5752]

How wonderful to have someone to follow while learning the line. Just super special. Also, you did well and you are smooth. Smooth is everything

[@SteveR76]

I'm too old for the riding position and the peaky power delivery would be tedious on the road, but despite that I still appear to want one... Nostalgia is a powerful thing!

[@lonpfrb]

It's a four stroke so not peaky against two strokes, however it does need revs to make power. For road riding you have no need for peak power as national speed limit in first gear and five more gears for a smooth progress. The slipper clutch and quick shift/blipper remove any sense of thrashing it, especially now that it's much quieter under euro-5. Ride safe..

[@MegaVinny73]

4 strokes can be very peaky. I had a 1998 GSXR 750 SRAD new at the time, was all top end power and very peaky. As the 600s were too.

[@lonpfrb]

@MegaVinny73 Not compared to two strokes. Smaller capacity engines must use their advantages so small pistons enable high rpm for peak power. High revs are required to get what's available and makes for smooth engine braking too. Knowing how it works is key to riding up to the conditions smoothly...

[@themarvelousvintage76]

You are 47 not 90 I think you still be fine ride 600cc sport bike😂

[@blackbarry]

Well done Kate. I enjoyed watching you follow such a legend. Almost felt like I could hear his voice giving you instructions 😂. Awesome stuff

[@brendonchase9460]

Watched a couple and found you witty, smart and funny. A new subscriber ❤

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks so much!!

[@loki1066]

Respect for just showing your riding skill. You could've gone for the easy likes with a selfie stick on the back of the bike.

[@robertmenzies3032]

Thanks for the review, nice follow with McGuiness and looks a great bike, as a fellow 600 rider who last did Portimao on a ZX636 I know how much fun you can have there and with the right 2 wheels underneath you can’t go wrong. Thanks Kate

[@arnohag1]

Thanks Kate. That brought back memories of doing up and racing my 650 4cy Suzuki in the 1980's. Ran Yoshy stage 3 kit in the motor and Kirker drag extractor exhaust system. Bit radical when riding on the street as she only started to produce power at 4grand and blew form 7.5 grand to 12.5 grand in 3 sec in top gear. Only got to 240k as the frame was crap. Great review.

[@steveparish9210]

What a beautiful bike, thanks for the thrill ride ya done good!

[@paulcraddock2196]

Thank you Kate for such a brilliant review of a glorious bike, and exceptional smooth riding.The new CBR600RR looks amazing in red.

[@cozydram1]

that was awesome Kate............if only I was 25 again....I would consider to track this myself........again thank Kate

[@simondemetriou7750]

1997, ZX6R, Cadwell Park.........thanks Kate, the memories came flooding back!😊

[@wakedaze1]

You GO girl!!!!!🏁🏆

[@PaulAnthonyDuttonUk]

That was fun to watch. It’s a hard track for sure but you did brilliantly. 👍

[@stevethomas6479]

I was one of the first to own a rr there was less than 100 hundred in the uk at time I asked for the plate cx03 rcv & got it love these bikes best I’ve owned I was blown away watching you with John that was brilliant 👍👍 Wish I could buy another rr but my wife loves bikes so I now carry her everywhere I go on my v strom 800 de great vlogs keep up the good work

[@goldilocks913]

Excellent riding Kate! Sounds amazing, I could be tempted- just don’t tell my knees or wrists 😂

[@Gingerbiker]

I had a 2012 600rr. Great Honda bought it back in updated version and back at a great price.. You can see your great enjoyment of the bike, track and honour of following the leg end around the track and his lines. Fantastic looking bike, sounds great colour best ones. Take up racing BSB 😊

[@Peakyrider1]

Oh my god... you got to ride with John Mcguiness... he is such a legend.. what an experience that must have been! Love your channel, love your content.. are you planning on visiting the TT this year? I will be going for the first time..and I cannot wait! ❤

[@UsernameKate]

Not sure I can make it this year! 😫

[@millinutz]

So, this is where our biking worlds part company but..., when you do your thing on any track, I never wanna watch..., but despite that, I get pulled in every time, and find myself virtually riding the track with you. I now feel I wanna say how proud I am of you for conquering this track, and I am proud..., wow! Even though you are such a crazy chick! Stay well, ride safe and i'll catch ya on the next ride, maybe next time on a Norton?

[@UsernameKate]

Oooh I'd LOVE to get my mitts on a Norton

[@elcookiemonsteru]

I own the 2008 model because it´s the peak of the 600RR, but the European 2024 model is looking absolutely tempting! 600RR is back baby!!!

[@UsernameKate]

Yeeyahhh 🙌🙌🙌

[@Ultra54able]

Really enjoyed this. Very nice of that fellow to take you under his wing and show you some lines.

[@loki1066]

That's a beautiful bike ❤️ - love the under seat exhaust as long as it doesn't affect handling. So usernamekate was blonde !😱 great riding.

[@UsernameKate]

I was!! Until it started falling out 🤣🤣🤣

[@loki1066]

@@UsernameKate oh yes, the girl who did my hair (before I bought the clippers) insisted on putting a big blonde bit in the front and it hurt like hell😩

[@classicraceruk1337]

I remember following Sir John Surtees around Brands Hatch in the late 80’s. Not that I could follow him for long. From memory he was on a Patton.

[@lonpfrb]

Seems that he was underrated compared to Stirling Moss, yet Surtees will never be equalled as World Champion on two wheels and four. VR46 is fast in a car but not F1. SLH44 is fast on a bike but not MotoGP. You were very lucky. Patton still race, I believe..

[@classicraceruk1337]

@@lonpfrb Patton do still race you are correct. I do not think anyone compared Moss to Surtees. Sir John Surtees is the best and most unique racer the world has ever seen. He will never be equalled. Hailwood had a good go as did Rossi. ( Rossi is winning 24hr car races). LH is not fast on a bike, he is not even National Standard. He would not win a top club race.

[@lonpfrb]

@classicraceruk1337 I was thinking of mainstream media who bring unconscious ignorance and confirmation bias, so prefer car racers. No disrespect to Stirling, lovely bloke, but I agree 💯 Surtees the outstanding racer. Respect to Lewis for being into bikes too. Most car drivers wouldn't dare.. The Silverstone Red Bull outing he did with Vale is good fun (YT)

[@classicraceruk1337]

@@lonpfrb Main stream media, WTF do they know about anything. They are just a load of failed human beings. I ignore the ignorant tossers. My Dad was a compositor working for National Newspapers in 50’s, 60’s and 70’s he told me what these so called reporters were like. He also worked for Hansard before he retired, I learned a lot about the tosser MP’s from him. Hamilton had a go but that’s as far as it went. He is an enthusiastic amateur. Most good club riders would ride rings around him.

[@filibertkraxner305]

That bike looks like enormous fun, especially for the price! Great video.

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks!

[@ledzeproberts2111]

That's a beauty and the bike aye bad either 😉

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

So glade they finally updated the cbr600rr. I own a 03 cbr600rr it was my first bike. Have had it almost 18 years.

[@BBFazer]

Very nice ride Kate! Track riding is so completely different from streetriding. Those leanangles, OMG. Good, hearing you pep up yourself!

[@richchamberlain5327]

I’ve got one on order. Be good to see your review of it on the road. 👍

[@jockey1304]

Love my 2007 600RR Kate. Mine has 3 way suspension set up front and rear, which makes the bike easy to set up for me and my style of riding.. But with mine I quite like the rawness without TC, QS. Mine is lighter at 180kg, but less hp, but it is so flickable as you say. But this is progress in the evolution of bike. Great bikes. Would I buy a new one? Yes if I had room in the garage and a spare 10.5k. Great video, I'm glad you enjoyed the CBR600RR. Far too many twins out there atm. Loving how they scream to 15k rpm..

[@zCritic]

That's a lovely looking bike! Love the red/ blue/ white.

[@stephenrice9497]

Great video, lovely bike and awesome track; thanks for sharing

[@jimmybh]

Had a 2004 version, loved it, definitely doing a demo ride back to back with the impending R9...

[@anconablue72]

very enjoyable review, what a Legend John is, i was lucky enough to buy one of the last RR's in 2016... But im thinking i need a new one 😁

[@keitht3055]

I had to laugh when you were doing really well keeping up with Mr McGuiness and, then he decided to clear off😄. I can imagine you thinking OMG! 🤣🏍.

[@UsernameKate]

Haha I wasn't keeping up with him, he was keeping up with me 🤣 big difference

[@lonpfrb]

@@UsernameKate Well done on picking up the many late apexes that unlock the flow of the circuit. You can still get your inside knee over the apex without taking foolish risks on clearance or tyre position in the circuit. Good ride!

It's all about unlocking the flow!!! I wish I had 2 days there to really learn to connect the dots better 😊

Great review kate ❤️ Glad honda brought the 600 back. But in my opinion those little winglets are completely unnecessary and kills the aesthetics of the bike. Other than that its a great bike😁

[@skinf]

I'm not fan of the winglets, nor the undertail exhaust, but still looks nice. It also has a couple of features that the ZX6R doesn't have. hopefully it makes it to the global market next year

[@PlattLaneEnd]

Great review I'd have to say....living the dream there! I'm (geniunely) so glad these bikes still exist - they are absolute jewels. But not a bike for me anymore. I don't track ride now, our roads are potholed and speed camera laden, and I no longer want to hit 10k to get at the bike's torque. But fair play to anyone that buys one! My first ever kneedown was at the Melbourne Loop on a 2004 600rr. I whooped in my helmet... happy days!

[@UsernameKate]

Haha excellent!! Thanks for the kind comment!

[@bfarm44]

As much as I want a Fireblade even after 40 yrs of riding this is more than enough for me but I would gather a Fireblade anyway I just won’t be able to wring it out for all it’s worth.
