cbr600f's are a sorts bike just not as focused as the others thats all. In 1999 if you wanted a sports 600 you had the choice of a cbr600f a gsxr600 srad, an r6, or a zx6r which was equaliy as tourery as the cbr600f. No such thing as an rr back then
Its only been in the last few year that 600 sports bikes have became mega focused and more like track bikes than road bikes.
Why would i new rider want a full on focused sports bike that he cant ride?
Fuck it just go out and buy a zx10r c1h and have fun lol
