New Red-White-Blue CBR600

Was at the local Honda shop today checking out Tires and Helmets.

One of the new CBR600 models was a beautiful bike. With Lots of Red, some significant white, and blue trim. It was a sharp machine!

On Honda Powersports Website, it is officially called:

Pearl White / Pearl Blue / Red

Hmmm

Right On! Magnificent Bike. I also like the Red. White & Blue.

If I were to complain...I wish the blue was a bit lighter.

Best paint scheme of the year. Every time I see one all I can do is stare.

Found a picture from a UK site:

I also found Honda's alternative to Kawa Green:

and lastly a color combo I haven't seen yet, a little to rad for me:

The Red/White/Blue color combo is getting a lot of press and appears to be quite popular.

I like the one with the blue wheels best.

Re: New Red-White-Blue CBR600

While my VFR was getting new tires, I did a short test ride on the Pearl White/Blue/Red CBR600.

The useable power was impressive, but I was gearing the bike a bit high so that it wouldn't be revved beyond 6k. Overall the bike was easy to ride.

Since I'm accustomed to riding larger bikes, it was a bit weird to be basically looking forward with no fairing or mirrors in my view. It felt small.

The exhaust sound was noticeable, but it needs a soul. A replacement can would be a must, but I'm not sure how it would sound on this engine.

If I lived close to a track, this may be the bike. For the road, I'm not sure.

I rode the CBR1000RR they had up there with the Power commander and Two Bros can (which was friggin loud). The 1000 is a small bike with a lot of power I loved it.
