Property of a deceased's estate
1990 Honda CBR600F-L
Registration no. G574 KVG
Frame no. PC23-2101477
Engine no. PC23E-2104407

Although Kawasaki can be said to have 'invented' the 600 class with its GPZ600-R, it was Honda that quickly established dominance of this once important market sector with the CBR600F. Introduced for 1987, the CBR set new standards for the class, and the UK's first batch sold out within weeks of arrival. "Offering a previously mythical package, the CBR quite simply left all previous efforts at similar-sized tackle gasping in it whisper-smooth wake," enthused Bike magazine. In 1991 the original 'jelly mould' CBR receive a new frame, new bodywork, and an updated engine before undergoing an equally thorough revision in 1998, re-emerging with an aluminium frame (replacing the steel original) and another change of bodywork.

Its accompanying DVLA MoT history reveals that this '1st Generation' CBR600F has covered circa 14,000 miles in the last 20 years (the current odometer reading is 54,246 miles). It is not known when the Honda was last ridden but Bonhams has had it running while in their care (video available). However, it should be noted that the machine has not been road-tested and will therefore require careful recommissioning before returning to the road. It should also be noted that there is some corrosion evident throughout the machine and that it has been fitted with an after-market Nexus exhaust (viewing recommended). The machine is offered with a V5C document, an MoT certificate (expires 31st May 2024) and one key.
