Road Test: Real World 600s
By Jon Urry on 03/06/2003 14:54:52
If pound notes are more important than lap times these 600s offer the best compromise of race replica handling with real world practicality. New and secondhand these still top the sales podium
of progress has developed into a flat out sprint when it comes to the supersport 600s.Which is great news for the bargain-hunting buyer because as with every race there are always stragglers. I don't mean this in a detrimental way, it's just that in the 600cc

First Ride: 2008 Honda CBF600S
By Jon Urry on 17/02/2008 15:27:28
An easy learner friendly machine, or a bike with about as much soul as a sandbag? Honda’s middleweight goes for function over style...
that gramps had exceeded 100mph, got his knee down and pulled a wheelie. But you know what, I reckon that if they asked me if I had ridden a CBF600S I would struggle to remember. Which is the problem with this new Honda: it’s an instantly forgettable bike

600s still got it - Suzuki GSX-R600, Yamaha R6 and Kawasaki ZX-6R used test
By Jon Urry on 23/06/2010 12:37:54
Terrified of technology? We hark back to a time when life was sweet and sports 600s were far less complicated beasts
Looking at the current crop of sports 600s it’s hard to believe, but just a few years ago supersport bikes were regarded as the poor man’s superbike. All the cutting edge technology was thrown at the litre bike class and the 600s were considered

By Bertie Simmonds on 05/04/2008 17:38:51
Yesterday's supersports screamers are still duking it out on the used battlefield. Under cover of sunshine, Bertie advances on middle England with a bunch of war veterans to find out who still cuts the mustard gas.
. But the steering is quick and light thanks to the steering damper being removed."And it's a shame the brakes are so poor. Again this isn't traditional GSX-R territory - normally the 600's brakes are fine - but these do feel as though they've suffered a little over

Countryphiles: Honda CBF600S, Kawasaki ER-6f, Yamaha XJ6 Diversion, Suzuki GSX650F
By John Cantlie on 27/07/2010 11:56:42
The commuter motorcycle has grown up and turned into a proper bike in its own right. We took them out of their natural element of city streets for a damn good thrashing on country roads
Getting from A to B on a bike designed solely to get from A to B as cheaply as possible used to be a rather wretched affair. Such bikes were, quite frankly, built down to a price, plasticky, slow, handled like shopping trollies and looked crap. They would do the job adequately bu...

Yesterday's supersports screamers are still duking it out on the used battlefield. Under cover of sunshine, Bertie advances on middle England with a bunch of war veterans to find out who still cuts the mustard gas
I'm struck with the senselessness of it all. All this human waste and complete devastation. No, I'm not queuing in the gents' bogs at Brands Hatch after a World Superbike race; I'm standing by a commemorative obelisk in the drizzling rain and reading about the battle of Naesby in...
