2009 Honda Sport Bike reviews

Excellent experience buying my first motorcycle. Was very nice and helped load the bike up, even gave me a strap bc I forgot one. Truly a good an honest dealership that’s not out there to get your money. Show less

The bike is very smooth with a lot of power. It has a clean, powerful look with dynamic speed. This is a very fun bike to ride with incredible stability. My friends who live by the GXSR rode my bike and are contemplating about changing. The bike is very light weight. Show less

I have had three CBR600's the 1988 Honda Hurricane/CBR, 88 CBR600, the 99 CBR600F4 and this new one is the BUZZ BOMB! I really opened up my vision and horizons when looking far a new bike. I almost got a YZFR6 until I sat on it. Not really comfortable for a taller guy. But I sat on the CBR600RR and blam-o I was home!!! She hugs corners, has massive muscle, and ain't afraid to get there in a hurry. Just the best design out there period! Show less

This is the FIRST bike I bought and ever rode! A lot of people said I needed to start off on a smaller used bike but I wasn't going to pass up a bike like this! I looked at the R6 and GSXR600 but one main thing I didn't like about those bikes is that the exhaust came out from the side. When I layed eyes on the CBR I fell in love. I've been riding it non stop now and I love the way it feels and roars. I am extremely comfortable riding it either short rides or long rides. Customizing it is so easy and fast, it's redonculous. I would recommend this bike to anyone - truly a gsxr and r6 murderer! Show less

This is just a follow up to my long winded review. After breaking this bike in and letting her run a little bit I can tell you that she truly is all you would ever want and more. I had the chance to ride every bike in the class except for the new BMW and I can tell you that the CBR truly is a work of art and should be the Ferrari of bikes! You owe it to yourself to sit on every Litre to see for yourself. The Honda's and Suzuki's will feel about the same in the seat and the Yamaha's and Kawi's are about the same. With that said Honda is the lightest, most flick-able, rider friendly bike out! And by rider friendly I do NOT mean weak, slow or docile. What I DO mean is that the CBR will do exactly what you want her to when you want it! There are no unexpected surprises with this machine! Ok so I lied, there is 1 unexpected surprise with this bike. On the left side under the panel for rear seat removal there is a wire, this is your prewired connection for your battery tender. It is nicely tucked under so you can buy your tender and plug it right in right away with out taking apart your battery connection! Great Idea Honda! This bike taunts you to press her in every aspect. She is super sticky and just rolls through the curves! No matter what kind of rider you are, whether you are Mr bike night, track and street, everyday commuter, or Mr I just want the chicks red light captain. This bike is the one machine that does it all. She will make good riders great and 1st time Litre owners confident. To recap- 1 Lightest Breaking system that will stop you right quick. 2 Best slipper clutch in the business 3 Electric steering Dampener that eliminates head shake, wobble, and vibration keeping you on the ground with super confidence. 4 The best slipper clutch in the business, say goodbye to rear wheel hop! 5 A finely tuned engine that will keep you comfortable in everyday traffic and mean enough to make a fool of anyone that dares to test you. In my professional opinion I recommend this bike over the 600's because the new 600's are wicked fast too, and they are actually very dangerous because most people underestimate them. I am not saying but this bike the day you pass your BRC, but I am saying if you have some miles under your belt and are thinking about a new 600 or this machine, Buy this for the extra cash! 600's are track bikes, very light and fun but so is the HONDA cbr 1000rr! She is a 600 on steroids! And the best part is...She KNOWS IT! Show less

I have to say I agree with all of the positive comments I have read here. I am a vet rider, age 53, and have ridden for the last 45 years. Somewhere around 35 motorcycles later, I have found that the big CBR is hands down the fastest, most sure footed and best handling motorcycle I have ever owned. This thing is a tractor that pulls you very quickly to breathtaking speeds with razor like handling! Very impressive package! I have been a fan of Honda since my first motorcycle and spent 12 years at 4 different dealerships in 2 different States in either parts or service. You will not beat Hondas quality and reputation. Bought this in June of 2009 and in early July I was off to Laguna Seca, near Monterey, Ca. for the Moto GP races. Over 2000 miles in the saddle in 4 days caused me to only give the bike a 4 for comfort. I am working on a custom seat right now. I realize what the bike is designed for and purchased it with both eyes wide open but need to make this last adjustment. 75 to 100 miles without a short break is about all I want to do until I make this change. I could not be happier with the CBR and plan to keep it a long time. Show less

Sooo balanced! 20 or so pounds less than previous generation. HESD steering will save your life in a high speed wobble. Unit Pro Link suspension in the rear is found only on Honda's bad little 6. Pro riders were able to run better lap times on this six vs. on every other make's liter bikes! Truly an r6, gsxr killer. Show less

The CBR600RR is fast, nimble, and stops on a dime. Honda directly ported over technology from their MotoGP race bike to the CBR600RR. The RR stands for Race Replica. Take this bike not even 10 years into the past, and you'd have a MotoGP class bike. You have to be judicious in the application of the controls. As fast as this bike is, it can get a rider into trouble even faster. I would not recommend the CBR600RR as a first bike for a beginning rider. A beginning rider needs a ride that's more forgiving while the new rider is in their learning curve. Show less

Awesome bike!! Love it. I have a 98 CBR600F3 and it is like night and day. This bike is awesome can't wait to get done the break in so I can really crank on it!!! Can't wait to drag these foot pegs thru a corner!!! Awesome bike!! Very user friengly would be an awesome first bike for a new rider!!! Show less

This is the best bike I have ever ridden. I bought the phenoix version. It is fast, strong and fun. Would recommend to anyone who rides sport bikes. I would like it to have a more comfortable seat but I give it a 5 out of 5. Show less
