Second-hand advice: Honda CBF 600 / S
The Honda Tourer as a used one
The cliche is: “Honda builds high-quality, reliable, well-thought-out motorcycles of lasting value.” That’s one hundred percent correct with the CBF 600.
06/24/2011
What actually counts in everyday motorcycling – personal bests, lap records, people turning their heads? Perhaps a more comfortable sitting position that can be optimally adapted to your own needs thanks to various adjustment options (seat height, handlebars, windshield). Possibly an affordable, finely regulating ABS, high reliability, low consumption, or even practical things like a stainless steel exhaust and hazard warning lights. But what counts most is the good feeling of having the machine under control at all times. And not only after weeks or months, but from the first few meters. The CBF 600 offers this all-round carefree package like no other motorcycle in its class. And already in the second generation; Because from 2008 everything stayed different: By switching from the carburettor to the injection engine, the choke fiddling was eliminated, the engine run became more cultivated and the vibrations that crept into the marrow, especially on longer motorway stretches, disappeared. Aluminum instead of steel frame, three kilos less mass, 16 kilos more payload, even better ABS, slightly modified equipment (no handlebar adjustment, but immobilizer as standard) – all the small things, the big picture remained. Namely an excellently balanced motorcycle that is child’s play to drive, which is fun for newbies and experts alike. Provided you like 600 four-cylinder; because the CBF does not necessarily have to offer the really big engine punch. But otherwise everything.

Injection instead of carburetor: The CBR-600-RR loaner (from 2008) runs in a more refined manner and vibrates less, but also does not create noticeably more pressure.

The basic design of the CBF engine comes from the CBR 600 F or the CBR 600 RR, where it can easily cope with 30 to 40 hp more and has to turn significantly higher for this. Conversely, this means that the CBF engine tends to be under-challenged and absolutely stable. Serious mechanical problems are not to be feared with a minimum of maintenance. The used buyer has a lot of time to devote himself to (hidden) fall marks, which are inevitable on a typical beginner bike. A more precise check of the history can not hurt either, because a not inconsiderable number of 600s served as a driving school machine in their first life. Such sweethearts appear now and then as “Re-imports” with cleared papers from Poland or Italy in local Internet sales places. With the PC38 there were occasional problems with rusting tanks, but Honda was mostly very accommodating even after the warranty period. There were three product recalls: PC38, model year 2006 (fuel tap); PC43, Mj. 2008 (speedometer); PC43, Mj. 2008/2009 (fastening screws for the rear brake master cylinder) – more information from your Honda dealer.
Market situation
Off to a third-party retailer: This can be the motto if you don’t want to buy privately and still want to buy cheaply. As a typical beginner and returnee motorcycle, used CBF 600 definitely end up at BMW, Triumph or Ducati dealers – and the Japanese push them through as quickly as possible and sometimes to the dealer purchase price. The naked / disguised price difference that exists for new machines (300 euros) no longer plays a major role for second-hand CBFs. Above all, the ABS is important, machines without an anti-lock device only go away at the absolute competitive price. It is noticeable that a relatively large number of machines of the first series (PC38) are still bobbing in the low four-digit kilometer range – they probably didn’t drive as much as one had originally imagined. For (absolutely sensible) accessories such as suitcases or spoiler windows, large surcharges are often requested – and in practice they are rarely paid.
