Pina buys new Honda CBR600

Pina Garasi has bought a brand new Honda CBR600. Here are a few of her thoughts regarding the passing of the R6.

2004 Noojee. A group of riders pulled up and there it was… the R6. It was love at first sight. I left my number with the owner if ever he wished to sell; the call came mid-year and the deal was done.

Many kilometres of good fun were had until the R6 started to feel the burden of riding with the MSR Hard-cores. And so the troubles began: coils, stator, helicoiling the plugs, regulator. It was time to part. I gave the R6 relationship everything I could. So with some sadness I surrendered the R6 to be sold.

I purchased a bike I had been resisting for two years - a Honda CBR600RR - only because it didn't excite me to look at. But I had enough evidence of the Honda reliability factor to convince me the decision was sound. I see the CBR as an "arranged marriage". A good match. We will grow fond of each other and love will surely blossom.
