Yes, you can ride the Honda CBF600 (2004 - 2007) on an A2 motorbike licence. However, you will need to fit a restrictor kit to reduce its power output and make it A2 licence compliant!
Honda CBF600 (2004 - 2007)
A bigger brother of the Honda CBF500, the CBF600 has all the features and comforts that you would want from an all-rounder.
Available in two versions:
- the CBF600S, which is a half-faired, sport-touring version
- the CBF600N, which is the naked version.
The CBF600 is a supremely competent, stable and reliable motorcycle, making the Honda CBF600 an excellent choice for anyone on an A2 motorcycle licence.
When it comes to ride quality, the CBF600 has a comfortable upright position. When riding slower, you can feel some of the 197kg of weight, but at faster speeds the CBF600 is very stable and offers good handling.
Although some say that the Honda CBF600 lacks instant feedback and “go”, the power range is quite broad and easily moves the bike along the road.
On the other side, it’s a Honda, meaning that you can easily trust that the CBF600 will last you a hundred thousand miles! There’s no doubt in saying that the CBF600 offers top-notch reliability, looks great and is great starting point for any A2 rider.
