G'day friends!
Looking to upgrade my motorcycle and debating between the CBR600RR and CBR600F.
Mostly be using it around town + twisties on weekends and maybe some touring. This suggests the 600F but would love opinions of folk.

Thanks!

Tricky. The F stopped production a number of years ago, I think…? RR still going or at least to last year so newer tech. Probably more after-market accessories for the touring.
I’d say go sit on them both and choose what suits YOUR body. We choose bikes with the heart, not the head — but best to want the bike that best suits not the idea but you and your purposes.

Yeah I found a decently priced F from 2008.

Thanks for the suggestion, will swing by leg over both

Have not ridden a 600F, but did a few hours on a 500f. Really good bike, more than enough motor for about any use. I put a co-worker on a 500x and he still has it.

The RR is going to be a different beast. Agree that a recent gen r6 is going to have better electronics as the CBR hasn’t seen much in updates.

For context I owned a Ninja300 and a K1300S at the same time. Both with heated grips. One for the city commute, one for riding from NYC to LA when I get bored.

What are you riding now?

Lots of core work to prep for a trip like that. It was worth it!!!

I had two 08’ cbr600rr’s. One for the track and one for the street. Phenomenal machines. Wouldn’t want to tour on one though 🤣.

Thought I responded to this … you can totally do 8 hours. I would do mountain runs from Charlotte to the Blue Ridge Parkway which were probably 6-8 hour days. I was usually pretty beat at the end of them. Getting a touring windscreen for my CBR helped a lot

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢
