In those days, when the world did not know that the true Honda sportbikes are those that carry a double letter "R" on the sides, a million-strong army of fans red plastic missiles had to drive and even to hunt for sport tourists.
Honda CBR600 F4i: sport-tourist, 2001-2006 , 599 cm³, 110.2 l It is 81kg, 180,000 rubles, 180,000 rubles. HISTORY. The series of BR Honda launched in 1987, launching two models: "Six hundred" and "litre". Traditionally, Honda's both models had a "human" character, "human" ergonomics, and relatively road signs of suspension, that is, well suited for "insignia", for further exits, and for driving around the city, for which the popularity in Europe ("gears") was reducedand in the United States, where the "quart" became more loved. From those years ago, until the end of the production of CBR 600F, all generations had maintained that distinction-universality and friendliness to the pilot. F4i has entered the market in 2001. The index quite transparently reports that we are dealing with the fourth generation of the model, already equipped with injection fuel, such "four-plus". However, the power system alone does not limit the differencesThe main external difference "4i" from the predecessor is a double headlamp instead of a single and digital assembly with an analog tachometer instead of "the alarm battery". The other differences with the unarmed gaze are hardly visible: the chassis was reinforced at the position of the steering column, additional ribs of "diagonal", as well as reinforced "ears" of the engine included in the power structure were reinforced. All this significantly increased the overall severity of the propelling body. The total system of the inertial adducer and the air boxing system grew by about 15 per cent, and the length of the exhaust tube of the exhaust system increased. The intake valves began to set two springs, while the prom valves got a spring of increased stiffness. And the final version for the European and Japanese markets has been picked up by the immobilizer "HISS""The Americans" option was not equipped, but the "oceanic" versions of "Sibier", which were not skilded by the draconian environmental standards of Europe, received more productive setting of fuel injection, and as a consequence, a slightly higher (2-3 l.) Capacity. 1999, , Honda CBR600F4. The direct predecessor of the injectable "Sibira" was the F4 model, on the basis of which the "i-to" was built. The "quartet" was issued by a "quartet". at 12,500 rpm, torque: 65 Nm at 10500. The main external difference from F4i is a single headlamp. 2001 , Honda CBR600F4i. The replacement of carburettors for the PGM-FI injection system did not affect the peak power and engine torque values, but the chassis was "working on errors" over the chassis, as well as slightly updated the exterior and instrumentation. 2001 , Honda CBR600F4i Sport. As it is, the prefix "sport" adds 10 points of swagger to the owner. Identical engine characteristics, split saddle and virtually unnoticeable difference in mass. That's the difference. 2011 , Honda CBR600FAfter five years of silence, Honda has revived a series of "friendly sports bikes" this year. However, in the veil of a newborn there is a blood-flows, not a sportive "blood". The motorcycle is built on the base of Honda CB600 Hornet. WHAT FOR? The motorcycle was initially positioned as a full-fledged sports biker able to be a motorcycle every day. At the time of the model F4i was the most energy-equipped (weight-mass ratio) 600-cc machine of Honda. But if the "usual" F4i was indeed oriented "on every day", as the civil sports-tourist two-seat seat was talking about, then the version of Sport, which entered the market at the same time as the base modification, was designed for those who have to go to the track. Version S was different from the base version. Instead of a two-seat "banana" seat, a separate "splits" were installed for the pilot and the passenger. In addition, Esca was almost two kilograms (166 pounds) of the base version (with no central support). With the advent of the RR series, the more energy-constructed, "evil" geometry and landing, the "ephkis" moved from the sports bikes to a more peaceful class of sports tourists. However, many vehicles were used as projectiles. Naturally, these machines have reached our days not in the best of health. When choosing a motorcycle, it is worth drawing attention to purely sports attributes such as the leeward bolts of bolts, sports plastic, dumping, and other purely cod parapheres. Most likely, such a device is already "shaded", and it is better to give up the purchase. F4i is one of the most favorite shells in the machine. "Motoekvylibriths" love it for almost absolute indestructibility of the frame (I don't want to), the relative loyalty of the motor to the trips on one wheel (thanks to the successful oil pit) and the total non-tability of the road and motor. The Stat is visible by a mile. In general, there is no plastic on it, but there is a protective weight like a gel on the tail and a massive cell of protective arcs. In general, if you are looking for a motorcycle for these purposes, it may be useful to look for a prepared projectile already, but in this case we need to be very attentive literally to every detail. The non-tability of F4 is really high, but not infinite. WHERE ARE WE LOOKING? Finding F4i in a decent state will not be a special work, but as a freshman driven by "Bugrom" and running around Russia. By its softness and low power, on the background of more recent RR-s, it is rarely noticed by the "hounds" and the racers. The most common use of a motorcycle is daily transport and a long-range instrument. CBR is rarely taken by the first device, so that with the consequences of bad operation and maintenance, it faces far less than, say, "four-sotas", and due to relatively fresh years of production, the majority is not "away-to-go." And yet it is worth to give preference to the "from there". The "B" Sellers are trying to bring in fresh units with mileage "just passed the run-in." There are still many such motorcycles in Europe and the United States. The range of prices for F4i ranges from 180 to 320,000. Rub. However, there is no clear correlation with the year of issue. For example, the 2004 edition of the release could be "fresh" than 2006 and on mileage. For the most part, Americans are now in the "Americans", which is mainly related to the yen and the euro. However, as mentioned above, except for the lack of an immobilizer and an engine temperature indicator in Fahrenheit, they are no different from the rest of their brethren. By the way, the "digitization" of the speedometer is easily switched from miles to miles per hour. Selling the machine isn't a problem either. With its really legendary reliability and comfort, F4i will always find its buyer. If you recall, the public outcry from the release of F4i from production was little less than that of the dusk of Africa Twin. And even if the "life" of the motorcycle does not break, and he will carry numerous traces of "asphalt disease", there will surely be some beginning station, who would love to tear it off with his hands, as it would be nice not to overpay for polished plastic. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT FIRST AND THEN? (-) The HM-drying of the GRM chain. A common enough bug encountered by many CBR. It is in a rattling sound in the area of the cylinder head in a certain range of revolutions (usually 3-5 thousand tons). rpm). The noonie is a very weak spring with a GREM chain that is "overeating." In particularly neglected cases, if the "not-ridden" person has traveled a lot and quickly, it may be necessary to replace the GRM, but it is not common for such a "clinic". It is easy to replace the tenor with original or mechanical, for example, APE. The system is a screw-gull, though it may require periodic adjustment, but will certainly not fail to die before the end of the century. (-) HISS. If you stop your choice not on an American version of the bike, equipped with the HISS signature immobilizer with a chip in the key, be sure to collect the second ignition key from the previous owner. The loss of the only key is a serious waste: along with the new larvae of all the locks, we will have to buy an engine control unit worth a thousand US dollars. You can write a new key to your motorcycle only if you have a valid motorcycle. By the way, contrary to the belief of many, this operation does not require any special computers and is quite capable of any if it armed with a "jamper-jumper" from a piece of wire and instructions that can be found both in the service-manor and on the Internet. (-) Suspension. Still, as the legendary reliability of the "four-reay", it is not vetted. This is especially true for any suspension and wheel drive loaded on any sports bike. When looking at the motorcycle, special attention should be paid to the rear star, bearings of the wheels and the steering column, especially if there is a suspicion that the seller was in the habit of driving in a sharp manner with a vilium, stonepee and other twists. Replacing these nodes will be included in the typical price-list of the medium motor pool. There is no special cunnage here, and in the garage, with any experience and direct hands, it is easy to replace the costs. (=) Shum of the clutch of the clutch. Noise from the basket of clutch-to-neutral, with the gear engaged or the lever clamp, is normal for this model. Don't pay any attention to him. (+) Self-diagnosis of the injection. For the first time, the PGM-FI injection system in the CBR series, like most similar systems, has self-diagnosis. At the same time, to find out what is wrong with the engine, it is not necessary to have an expensive service computer. You only need eyes and a pen with paper. After ignition, if all is in order, the FI Lamp on the dashboard is lit and extinguisnot. And if the system finds any mistake, it's "unwinking." It is enough to count the number of blinking and "translate" the code from a motorcycle to the Russian with the help of a service-manuala, or just by clicking on the Internet. So you can check the power, ignition, and engine management systems directly on purchase. BUY WHAT? In the upgrade and tuning plan for the owner of F4i, this is a real debit. Until now, the European and American catalogs can find tons of all kinds of pompas-both influencing and not influencing "speed"-from sports plastic to the central stand, so beloved "truckers". The choice and the boulders and the nulavik filters. However, with the installation of the "lung respiration" set, professionals strongly recommend that the Power Commander be set, because the changed pressure on the intake and release significantly deteriorates the operation of the motor with the regular "brains". The capacity of such a "bouquet" will not add much, but the thrust will grow in the whole range. The love of the stans to this motorcycle has not been left without the attention of the manufacturer of an aftermarket. Multiple points for the conversion of the sports bike to the station are offered to everyone who is not lazy. The stars of 60 teeth, cross-hand handlebars with brackets, additional brake sub-ports with rudder controls, bogels and arcs-cells, all this can be found in almost any "cut" catalogue. Also a list of tourist abundance. Kosher systems, gel saddles, touring glass and much more, much needed by a truck driver on the road is easily accessible in the aftermarket catalogues, and domestic sellers always have a stock of tuning for F4i, as demand is always stable.
