Eicma 2010, Honda CBR600F – live photo

To satisfy the requests of those looking for a versatile and, at the same time, powerful motorcycle, to satisfy those who want energy and performance combined with easy handling and road control, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Honda reconfirms its presence in this intermediate segment with the new CBR600F Model Year 2011, officially presented at the International Cycle and Motorcycle Show in Milan, Eicma 2010, still scheduled until tomorrow.

“For this great return, Honda designers were tasked with combining the concept of total control with the latest motorcycle technologies. The time had come to create a new CBR600F that re-proposed in a modern key the qualities that had made the fortune of the previous models: an easy-to-handle motorcycle, with Super Sport performance and that refinement and practicality that are at the heart of the charm of every CBR. These qualities accompany a level of comfort for rider and passenger that is traditionally indicated by the letter “F” in the name.” This is how the Japanese company wanted to explain, in an official press release, the arrival of the new Honda CBR600F.
