1996 Honda CBR600FY review from United States of America
"This is all the bike I'll ever need"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
I loaned it to a friend and he proceeded to evade the authorities, lost control ensuing a crash.
Voltage regulator went bad at 25,000 miles.
The usual breakage that occurs when idiots try to out run the law.
General comments?
In my humble opinion this is all the bike one needs for street riding.
Honda Motors started as a motorcycle production company, as they say the rest is history.
I've outcornered and outridden riders on higher displacement motorcycles.
The CBR600 is a do it all machine, track days, highways, corners, pillon, etc.
Highly recommended for all levels of experience.
Whether you're a newbie or an older rider like myself.
