I had researched the CBF600 for quite awhile and seems it is very popular on the other side of the pond. Every thing I find seems to speak very highly of the bike. Honda Canada only brought the bike intoNice looking CBF600 matey.
I had the CBF1000 from 2008 to 2011, lovely bike. Mine had the three piece luggage too and was in the candy gold.
I wouldn't worry about the chain, I did on longer journeys but there was no need. Did 3500 miles to Tuscany and back and it was as tight when I got back as when I left. Comfy for two up to. Just carry one of them small cans of dry lube just in case it rains etc.
If I hadn't have sold it I would have stiffened up the front suspension and changed the rear shock, they were just a little lightweight for two up touring. Honda got it right with this 600/1000.
Oh, consider a side stand foot enlargement, it gets a little wobbly when loaded.
Upt'North.
this country for a short period of time and now have discontinued it here, too bad. I think it may have grown a following over here. I was seriously looking at a Suzuki vstrom or Kawasaki versys as Honda did not
have a smaller style ride like that. All seem to be heavy and I was no longer interested in heavy. I found this one and had to snap it up. 2010 with 1050 kms, can't go wrong, I hope.
