1996 Honda CBR600F3

Description

Additional photos of this Honda CBR600F3 are available here for your perusal.

In 1995, Honda updated the venerable CBR600 lineup with the F3, which featured revisions to the engine and the chassis as well as the introduction of ram-air induction.

Cycle World called this “one of the all-time great all-rounders,” and Sport Rider called it a “Great Sportbike of the Past.” It was more than an excellent streetbike – it also dominated the track. “The 1995 AMA 600 Supersport season was another good one for Honda, with [Miguel] Duhamel putting on a Honda seminar all year, winning eight races in a row en route to his second AMA 600 title. Honda F3s won all 11 of the races that year, scoring a perfect shutout. This made four 600 titles in the Honda’s five years of existence (Yamaha won the title in ‘94). You simply can’t talk about 600cc racing in this time period without mentioning the Honda CBR600F2/F3.”

Manufactured in May of 1995, this example is VIN: J2PC2504TM502606. The seller is the second owner, he purchased it one year ago from the original owner who has a motorcycle shop in Michigan. He is letting it go to make room for a 940-mile Honda CBR900RR that he recently acquired.
