relax TS,

i feel is it ok coz still using petrol......

They have been failing at the looks of the headlight department for awhile. But i still love the looks of an underseat exhaust. Id trade one for mine anytime.

[haoKR]

yeah man,under seat exhust..im loving it

[hachi]

Where is the RC211 look???

[mechwira]

wats the fuss? granted the side view is ugly, but viewed from the front it looks much 'cleaner'.

of coz i like the looks my '05 version 600, and '06 fireblade best. they're simple yet aggressive. but in recent years the japs have gone overboard and way overdesigned their bikes' looks. they're just cartoony now. i much prefer simplifying back into this, and i kinda like the cbr600f looks too. or maybe i'm just getting old.

Looks like a 03' yamaha r6... The headlight section

[wait4me]

oh ts wan to buy then not happy with the look ah?

[hachi]

Cbr600 side profile are very sexy from the 01 era.. Used to own a f4i..but 2013 cbr6 kinda of working backward. Gsxr 600 and 750 suffered the same fate once they removed the projector..it used to be so iconic when evolution take place so gracefully...

Think alot of folks forget that, given the cbr600rr balance and ease of use, it can make most.of us average riders some form of skills on the track. Albeit most of us don't track often either way. Think the blunt nose gives it a more aggressive line. Im tempted haha its more affordable than then 1000cc sibling, not so overkill for spore road, even better sus and aero compared to 2012 model, not as mental as the r6 and its a Honda!

[mild_slevin]

yes it does resemble 03-05 YZF-R6 on the head cowl section... yeah for the underseat exos!

[foxin]

Not forgetting the belly section is actually more angular shaped. Of course, form the side it looks like it was orignally design to look like R6 and decided to slice it off up front just for the trim.

[whatsupbro]

probably gonna handle like a champion.. again.. haha

[foxin]

Highly doubt so. Anyway, the unit have reached SG shore and I went to took a look.

Seems like that the body is a little shorter and fatter. Much like a RSV4 small angular body now. Other than BPF, minor changes to the HUD, underseat exhuast.. Nothing seems appealing. Overall satisfactory level fell

[Lexanez]

Looks good to me

[r1der]

Wow interesting. Plan to go boon siew n hav a look.

 

Guys, do u think cbr1000rr 2013 or onwards will hav tis similar head light design?

[kaiq]

Looks like some masked rider bike.

Honda seems to be getting lousy on the visual aspects of their bikes. The 06 cbr600 looks so sharp and neat. The foxy headlamps is simple and sexy. Whole bike looks athletic. Now this new 600 looks old school man. The body shape is fat and thick, looks like the old cbr400 kind of design. The headlamps are getting thumbsdown from review all over the net.

 

If honda paid more money to a more artistic designer. Their bikes would be perfect. Imagine a honda that looks like a panigale but without all the maintenance and durability issues.

Fugly.....
