The Honda CBR 600f is my first bike and I was told it wasn't a great bike for beginners, boy were they ever wrong it has all the power a beginner needs plus some and is great for corners and overall handling. I am21 now and I got the bike at the start of the 2001 season. I am now ready for a newer bike but I will never sell this one I put way too much time into the bike I got now that I would never get my $ back. If anyone out there has the side windows for the bike I am looking to buy. I have mine but the screws on one of my windows are gone. To anyone interested in getting a new bike go Honda all the way they are very reliable and sharp looking bikes. Good Riding Everyone.

I bought an 89 CBR in spring of 2000. I had never ridden before and I absolutely loved it. This is the quintessential starter bike- still had lots of power (more than enough for a beginner), looked sharp (chicks loved it), was very low maintenance, and most of all, dirt-cheap ($3300 CDN).

I bought an 89 CBR in spring of 2000. I had never ridden before and I absolutely loved it. This is the quintessential starter bike- still had lots of power (more than enough for a beginner), looked sharp (chicks loved it), was very low maintenance, and most of all, dirt-cheap ($3300 CDN). I was surprised at how well it handled sharp corners and how comfortable it was to ride. A couple of drawbacks were its lack of stability on the highway (made me nervous a few times) and somewhat weak braking power. But hey, it is 12 years old, and you don't see many Yam's/Kawa's/Suzuki's from that era still on the road that are real head turners. Kudos to Honda on this one, however, I am considering maybe a 96 YZF 600 for next spring. Bottom line- pound for pound best starter bike on the road.

All things considered, I believe the Honda CBR F1 is a well-equipped entry-level street bike. The main selling point for me was the full-faced instrument panel, smooth accelerating engine and clean lines of the well-matched body fairings. Keep in mind that this bike is 11 years old.

All things considered, I believe the Honda CBR F1 is a well-equipped entry-level street bike. The main selling point for me was the full-faced instrument panel, smooth accelerating engine and clean lines of the well-matched body fairings. Keep in mind that this bike is 11 years old. It's not as quick in the mid-gears (2-4) or agile in the corners as newer models. Do your research and test ride as much as possible! All things considered you can get a great deal for this bike at a cost of no more than $2000. Incidentally, I paid $1900 for a bike that had 10,000 miles, rare factory color scheme and not a scratch on it!
