The Honda CBR600F , known as the 'Hurricane' in the US market, is a sports motorcycle made by Honda. The first model was offered from 1987 to 1990. In Austria and Mexico, the smaller version, CBR500F , is marketed. In 2011, Honda released a new model of the same name.

The original CBR600F along with the CBR750F and CBR1000F is Honda's first fully customized four-cylinder inline sport bike. The style is said to be influenced by the short European trend toward a smooth and completely closed fairing as in Ducati Paso. It has an 85-hp (63-kW) 16-valve liquid-cooled DOHC engine, and a six-speed and ignition transmission with CDI, 2 rolls. Honda Hurricane was introduced as the latest style of motor sport.

CBR600F2

The Honda CBR600 F2 was made 1991-1994. It was introduced to replace the CBR600 Hurricane, or F1, and is considered one of Honda's most modern and innovative sport bikes. Second-generation CBR development began in early 1989. Hurricane LPL Ishikawa led the development of a new bicycle, known internally as MV9 but also called F2, an alphanumeric that led to its official name: CBR600F2.

Development of F2 begins with a meeting to discuss concepts and sketches for new bikes. A few months later, the F2 prototype was produced. Painted black, the bike looks faster and slimmer than the more yellow first-generation bikes, and the test results are superior: some motorcycles in the 1990s had F2 performance capabilities.

CBR600F3

The CBR600F3 is the third generation of the CBR600F series. It replaces the F2, and produced 1995-1998. It modified the engine, ram-intake air and cartridge fork. The 1997 and 1998 models also come with a deeper oil pan, leaner fairing tail, chair and tail lights, and revised engine heads that encompass about 5 hp gain over 95/96 models. CDI and air-ram systems are also revised to allow a smoother throttle curve above the 95/96 model, which can sometimes be jerked. The last models made in 1998 came with a revised engine head that produced little power. In 1999, he was replaced by the CBR600 F4.

In 1996 and 1998 CBR600F3 was also sold in the "Smokin 'Joe Replica" version in the United States, Canada and Australia (1998 only).

Cycle World tested the acceleration of F3 from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in 3 seconds and 0 to ¹/₄ mile (0.00 to 0.40 km) at 10.9 seconds at 125.28 mph (201.62 km/h). Consumer News Motor records a time of 0 to 60 mph of 3.7 seconds and /₄ travel time 11, 03 seconds at 124.06 mph (199.66 km/h)

CBR600F4

The Honda CBR600F4 was produced between 1999 and 2000. This is the last of the CBR600 series of Honda sportbikes to be carburizing. A twin spar aluminum frame that reduces frame weight is used, and the crankcase is designed to share the swing-arm shaft. Through the reduction of internal and heavy friction, combined with larger valves, shorter strokes, and larger holes, higher turns are activated. The spark plug has an ignition coil installed in it. A slightly larger carbohydrate is added and the oil cooler is now placed by the oil filter. The new suspension has a larger 43 mm fork and uses Fireblade spares. The front brakes are improved, and the rear circumference increases to 5.5 "with a new 3-spoke wheel.F4 is equipped with HISS Honda engine immobilizer system.

The phrase "Dedicated to Super Evaluator Dirk Vandenberg and Josef Boyd" is capitalized on the inside of the Honda CBR600F4 fairing; dedication is to two senior product developers Honda R & amp; D who was killed during the final test of this model.

CBR600F4i

The Honda CBR600F4i is a motor sport manufactured by Honda from 2001 to 2006. Two English versions of the F4i were released in 2001. CBR600F F1 and so on have banana-style seats found on pre PGM FI bikes while CBR600F FS1/FS2 (F sport) is sold with two tiered seats, black frame and other performance improvements such as those found on the US CBR600F4I model. Sports F was discontinued after the arrival of CBR600RR in 2003. In 2003, Honda introduced the CBR600RR, as an alternative to ready-to-use racing, a higher racing replica for the more street-oriented Honda CBR600F4i. In 2004, the one-part "banana" chair model replaced a separate seat model. This bike sacrificed a little performance but gained a more comfortable ride position with a one piece seat, in addition to the clip-ons mounted on the top fork clamp already and also replaced the black frame with one in silver. And the engine configuration is more suitable for driving everyday. This model is the same as the CBR600F1 and so on which are sold in the UK from 2001. F4i remains available for three more years before it is discontinued, with the 2006 model being the last to be released. No major updates have been made in recent years except for changes in color schemes.

History

For the 2001 model year Honda released an enhanced version of the popular CBR600F4 with the intention of becoming more competitive in the middle class sports bike class. The Ã‚ Â£ 370 (170 kg) (dry) F4i is a modified F4 with various engines, chassis and bodywork changes.

The F4i AS 2001 has a new subframe that raises the seat by five millimeters to allow for more storage space and a two-tier boost. The new tail unit has less padding and is higher for passengers. F4i tail light is smaller with new double bulb configuration. F4i has a new dashboard layout with a large analog tachometer. The new LCD digital display has a speedometer, odometer, clock, engine temperature readings, amber shift lamps, and travel meter. The biggest change in addition to styling is the addition of high pressure (50 psi). programmatically fueled fuel injection - thereby appointing the model "F4i". In some countries, these bikes are sold in "normal" and "Sport" variants, Sport has two seats, no handle and no main holder (although the main buffer still stands). Fuel injection allows more precise fuel metering and delivery over a wider range of rpm, while providing better throttle response and reduced emissions. The injector is one per cylinder and works with a 38 mm throttle body. Each injector has four nozzles, and together the injector adds up to five horsepower over F4.

Wheel weight is reduced. The rotor carriers move closer to the brake calipers to reduce weight and to increase the stiffness. But stopping power is still not equivalent to other bikes in class. There is additional bracing on the steering head for more response, better feedback and feel from the front end. The suspension has also been tweaked with lower damping speed and less low speed damping with more street-biased shock and fork.

Additional engine changes include a lighter camshaft sprocket and increased valve spring pressure (two springs per intake valve) that allows higher revving. There is a new piston ring that slid with less friction and increased internal engine oil flow. Redline is now 14,200 rpm, 700 rpm higher than F4 the previous year. To improve the ability to pull the motor at high speeds, gears 5 and 6 have been shortened slightly and the rear sprocket magnified from 45 teeth to 46. Also add one clutch plate for greater durability to date. 8. The massage hole in the camshaft has been magnified by 0.5 mm (up to 2.5 mm) and the piston ring friction has decreased to assist cooling of the high ceiling. The spring pressure on the intake and exhaust valve has been increased to avoid floating valves. Also, there are now two valve springs (inside and outside) on the intake side instead of one item on the side of the exhaust.

The new F4i Bodywork brings a more vibrant look and delivers 3% reduction in drag. It also houses a new front double headlamp design that uses 40% H7 lights brighter than the old H4 bulbs. The front light is a multi-reflector multi-unit covered by a one part flexiglass lens. Shorter swivel stalks and mirrors are now positioned higher and closer to the rider. Carburetor removal allows for a slightly larger air box and a larger 4.8 gallon US fuel tank (18 liters; 4.0Ãƒ, Ã‚ Â± gal). And fuel consumption is 36.7 mpg _-US (6.41 L/100 km; 44.1 mpg _-imp).

In 2001 and 2002, in recognition of Honda's association with MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi, and the 500th Grand Prix of the motorcycle, the CBR600F4i was also released in Europe and Australia (2002 only) in two versions of "Rossi Replica".

CBR600F 2011

In 2011, Honda released a new Honda CBR600F model built in Italy for the European market that was not released in America. This continues the legacy of the CBR model F line. In honor of German rider Stefan Bradl, Honda Germany launched a CBR600F special edition the CBR600F LCR. It features a titanium titanium titanium grip exhaust, rear hugger and single seat cover and LCR sticker kit as well as combined brakes and ABS. CBR600F shares most of the 'Hornet' CB600F naked components like reversed forks though longer with 50mm frame and Mono-backbone aluminum. But wrap it in a fair-fair multi-layered that lowers drag and protects the rider from windblast as well as new instruments, bars, and tanks. It also maintains the same relaxed sitting position to minimize motorist fatigue. The CBR600F 2011 also shares the engine of the highly revised CB600F model that came out in April 2007. This machine is a detuned version of the one available on CBR600RR 2007 that provides maximum output power of around 102 bhp (76 kW) at 12,000 Ãƒ, rpm and 47.94 lb? Ft (65.00? M) of torque at 10,500 rpm.

2014 CBR650F

The Honda CBR650F is a sports touring motorcycle, part of the Honda CBR series, manufactured by Honda for their global market. The album was released in 2014 with her sibling, CB650F. This bike replaces CBR600F 2011-2013. This is supported by liquid-cooled four-stroke 648.7Ãƒ, cc (39.6Ãƒ, cuÃƒ, in), DOHC, 16-valve, inline-four engine. Although the new bike is from the bottom up, it has 19 years of development. The motor that looks very much like the early model of the CBR600RR is aimed at more mid range and low end than the supersport bike 600a, cc . It has almost the same specs as F2. And like F2, it has a twin steel frame. With a wet weight like F2 also at 460 pounds (210 kg).
