The CBR600F2

Well, I've been lent this bike for an extended test. Initial
impressions are:
- It's faster than the Bandit 600.
- It feels smaller than the Bandit 600.
- It's quite a bit faster than the Bandit 600.
- It's not as easy at low speeds as the Bandit 600.
- It's a lot faster than the Bandit 600.
- It's not as comfortable as the Bandit 600.

I think it's not the bike for me. I need to test out a Bandit 1200, I
think; if all else fails, I've decided that even another B6 wouldn't
be a bad thing, but I'm keeping my options open.

 

Top yolk conversion with set of Renthals, high screen, nice zorst - Bob's
your Auntie, better than a Bindat600 any way you look at it. Or are you
talking pillion accommodation here.

 

The pillion factor is important. Also the pegs are uncomfortably high
for me on the CBR [1]; I like the riding position on the Bandit much
better.

[1] This may be due to the fact that my knees are still sore from the
accident, although they were only bruised.
