Honda CBR600RR - 2003 Motorcycle Review

In 2003 Honda came out with a new generation of supersport bikes - the 600RR series that took the motorcycling world by storm. The bike swept the Daytona AMA races that year.  I have wanted one since first pictures announcing its pending release appeared in the press, and I was not disappointed. To me, the beauty of its styling rivals with many Italian models, it revvs its brains out through all the way through 15,000 rmp, and is as reliable as anything Honda makes.  But it truly comes to life on the racetrack, confidence-inspiring, with sharp sensitive handling, extreme lean angles and a huge giggle factor.

 Keep in mind, this is a sport bike and is not very comfortable for long-distance riding, although I've put a few 1,000-mile weekends on it with little trouble. Seat is hard, stock peg position is racy (which is a good thing for a sport bike but may tire your knees out over longer stretches), and a full tank of gas will only take you 100-120 miles.

 I've ridden lots of motorcycles, and I love this one as much as the day I brought it home.
