On board 2001 Honda CBR600F (33bhp restricted)

[mark2589]

[Richard244Manning]

if i had a cbr 600 restricted what would i need to do to get legal, i past my driving test december 2009 an im 19 i had cbt 3 years ago ??????????

[DeanoXP]

Just a few questions about insurance; how old are you when you got it insured and how much was it? because i imagine this makes a big difference! I'm going to be 17 so I imagine mine will be ridiculous!

Nice bike though mate

[PhilipT491]

thanks to your vid i may just get a 600f thanks man!!!

[bmx4fuckinlife]

Fi international do the kits for nearly every bike! But they about £170 go on eBay they about £30-£50 and on eBay there's a company called NOS that do them for £140 or 2nd hand ones :-)

[jheyworth17]

hi any one know were i could get the restrictor kit for this bike many thanks and is ristricing it worth fuel injectors the same with the washers many thanks

[bloodtrendbassist]

how is it restricted? by washers in the air intake or throttle restricted? i am confised and need help lol cause soon i will be passed and looking to restrict a cbr 600 f

cheers pal

[soundslikeaplan994]

hey, i really am convinced into getting a cbr 600 f or a thundercat restricted. but i was wondering about how much it costs to actually restrict it? and whether you need to send off a special certificate to your isurance or summat? :S

help would be nice,

thanks :)

[badman2504]

Got my '07 SV650s today, restricted, bout as quick as your cbr600f, so I aint complainin, ride safe mate, dont be another one of the fallen

[adamjs2005]

Seeing as your near binbrook do you go to willingham woods? during the summer i live in caistor and go there on my CG125 i think i am the only L-plate warrior there

[0C0dy0]

Hey guys, currently got a cbr125r, moving onto my full license in the spring (it's gettin colder now so not much point in takin the test at winter!) I wanna grab a cbr600f, reckon it's a good buy? obv it'll be restriced, but I tried checking ninja 250r prices but they're ridiculous! the father said the 600f is better for me than the 600r as the seating position is more comfortable.

So whaddya reckon!

[willadams160]

i've got a cbr 6f 05 model restricted, my insurance is £1500 after being knocked down from £2500 with MCE, although that is fully comp inc. buisness commuting, pillion cover, european cover and i'm only 18 so is quite a bit anyway. Got mine to 113 so far, had it bout 4 months, so bloody fed up with the resrictor already!! Wheeliing is not overly easy, got to rev it to like 9,000rpm while going bout 12mph then just drop the clutch while sitting as far back as poss! Real nice bike though. :)

[MiG2880]

@willadams160

Watch out for plod then, matey :-) I had 3 points on my licence from when I had my 125. A few months ago I was doing about 100 on the M1 on my Firestorm. Hardly any traffic, Sunday night and I got pulled over by a traffic copper. Luckily he took pity on me and didn't give me 3 more points. If he had i'd have to take the test again.

[willadams160]

@MiG2880

Yeah i'm always keeping an eye out all the time cant afford to get any more points as a i think i got caught by a camera down the A303 2 days ago, was doing 100, saw the camera, slammed on brakes and slid but dont think i slowed down in time :S i'll soon find out...

[MiG2880]

@willadams160 I've ridden my 'Storm for a couple of years now and I haven't been tempted to indulge in any showboating, because I respect motorcycling for the art that it is.

I've concentrated on handling, geometry of the bike and body positioning. Nailing a corner through knowledge gained & practice is the biggest buzz ever.

I know you're 18 and boisterous, but remember it's not like a car - when you pass your bike test, it is the start of your learning process. Not the end of it.

[MiG2880]

@willadams160 I don’t mean to sound like a typical old fart btw :-D

It sounds to me like you take a few risks. That can be okay, but be smart. I don't mean to preach but bikes should be respected at all times.

I leave you with 2 wise quotes I live by, that may save your life one day.

"First learn walk, then learn fly".

(Mr Miyagi)

"There are two types of biker - those who have been down and those who are going down".

(My Instructor)

Stay safe mate 

[UKrapper67]

do you live in brookenby or binbrook by any chance he he ? cuz i noticed u went past ravendale an round ashby-cum fenby round about an the down barton street

[mybikevideos]

@UKrapper67 haha well spotted, I live fairly near binbrook yeah :)

[UKrapper67]

@mybikevideos where abouts ? at the minet im on a moped pmsl *i know* im hopefully getting a zx6r an resticting it to 33bhp , u on a full bike licence ?

[newthy8]

@mybikevideos i thought i recognised a few roads there, i have relatives near binbrook

[00speeddemon00]

if you are getting insurance on one of these bikes like me (cbr 600) it was £529.63 on comparethemarket. cOm with MCE. When i phoned them up to tell them that the power had been restricted to the same as my previous price they knocked it down to £389.90. think you were ripped off with £1300. :s

[mybikevideos]

@00speeddemon00 Well thats odd as when I rang them up to tell them I had got it UNrestricted they said it doesnt matter as they dont make it any cheaper when its restricted. Guess it depends who you get answering your call...

[mikeyisace07]

@mybikevideos Just a question about these bikes when they're 33bhp restricted. Whats the acceleration like? Whats the top speed? Will they still rev to the redline and how are they for overtaking/off the line power?

[mybikevideos]

@mikeyisace07 It depends what you are coming from as to how fast it will feel - I had this bike after I had only previously been on a Honda CBR125 and it felt amazing compared to that. Top speed I had out of mine while it was restricted was about 105 mph and it got to 60 in 6 or 7 seconds. They don't rev to the redline when restricted, only to about 9000 RPM, but still easy to overtake any normal traffic on it. Hope that helps

[woodypk]

@mybikevideos Hey dude, I live in cleethorpes which isn't too far from Binbrook. What is the throttle movement like? I have just bought a 2006 cbr 600f from a cbr 125 and ill have to have mine restricted and I do hope to notice a difference

[BIRVS]

@00speeddemon00 £1500 for me third party on a 33 bhp zx6r b1h, yeah i know, fucking bullshit. Companies are tending not to touch restricted bikes now because they are so easy to de-restrict then get binned ...

[ArcticSoldier25]

How's the sound, does it sound different with the restrictor kit on? Or do you still get that 600cc growl?

[mybikevideos]

@ArcticSoldier25 - I cant say I noticed any change in sound when I got the restrictor taken out so I'm gonna say no it doesnt sound any different :)

[suzuki02mad]

am 18 an got a kawasaki zx6r f3 restricted to 33bhp in carbs and had 120mph out of it buh takes awhile tho

[STasboST]

areet how much is your insurance like mate, coz i got a cbr600f 96 the comparison websites give me nowt ha

[BikerDarren24]

Sorry, another question,

Some restrictor kits I've looked at, stop the throttle going all the way back, Is that the case with your bike?

Any answer would be a great help?

Thanks

Darren :)

[mybikevideos]

Yeah that was how it was on mine, I think there were 3 places that they fitted restrictors to in total. If you have got any more questions head over to themotorbikeforum . c0m (had to type it weird cos youtube wont let me type a normal URL...)

[BikerDarren24]

@mybikevideos Thanks you very much, that has answered another mystery question for me. :)

Thanks again Darren :)

[BikerDarren24]

Is the acceleration affected any with the restrictor kit fitted? :)

Nice vid BTW

[mybikevideos]

well the bike is pretty much exactly the same up to 8000 RPM, but then the restrictor stops you going above about 9000 so you have to change gear at 8000 really. I remember when I first went on it I thought it accelerated really quick but like anything you soon get used to it and it doesnt feel as fast. I've got it unrestricted now and like I said, up to 8000 RPM its the same as it was when it was restricted, just after that its a lot more fun ;)

[BikerDarren24]

@mybikevideos Thanks very much bud, that sound o.k. You have been more than helpful :)

Thanks again

Darren :)

[XAlexMercerX]

Hi buddy, i'm thinking about getting a CBR600, and an you tell me the max speed you got out of the machine? And, how did your test go?

[mybikevideos]

my test got cancelled as the examiner's bike wouldnt start! Its been rescheduled for the Monday after next..

As for the max speed, with it being restricted the most I have had out of it is about 105 mph

[tomothy32]

It depends on what CBR600, the F or the RR ? My mate has a 33bhp CBR600RR and he's had 115mph out of it with a little bit to go. The F is a lot more affordable but its a bit heavier so id imagine 110mph would be top whack with 33bhp unless you had a tail wind, hope that helps.

[mybikevideos]

Yeah 105 - 110 was the most I ever got out of it when it was restricted. Its unrestricted now (after I finally got to take my test) and the fastest I have had it so far is 120 mph (on a track day)

[Jake1one]

Nice, if you're still restricted have you tried downgearing the bike?

[mybikevideos]

Its still restricted at the moment and I havent tried downgearing it. I passed my Module 1 test last week and got my Module 2 booked for this Thursday so hopefully it wont be restricted by this time next week :)

[latana151]

could you explain to me a little please, im on a cbt riding a 125cc. you are riding a 33bhp but you are taking your module 2 next week ? :S

[mybikevideos]

I did a restricted test a few months ago - you can take it on a 125 before you are 21 (because if you were over 21 you would just do the normal 'unrestricted' test). So that then lets you ride anything with 33bhp for 2 years and then after that you can ride anything. I dont want to wait 2 years though so now that I am 21 I am taking my unrestricted test

[latana151]

ohh thats cool, how much has it cost you ?

[mybikevideos]

for what? Its cost quite a lot seen as I had to have a few lessons and obviously pay for the test itself when I did the test the first time on my 125, then I've had a couple of lessons to prepare for the Mod 1 and Mod 2 this time (they hadnt brought the new test in when I took my first test) and then got to pay for this test as well. Probably over £300 altogether.

[eebit1]

Loving your videos mate. Been riding a YBR 125 for nearly 2 years and finally got round to doing my [restricted] test. Think you just about sold me on this bike! :P

[mybikevideos]

Thanks :) Are you under 21 then? If not then you might want to do the unrestricted test. I've had my restricted bike for a few months now and I'm doing the full test in a couple of weeks (module 1 anyway, then I'll book module 2) so that I can get mine unrestricted

[eebit1]

Ye I'm 20. Before reading this I thought once you've done the restricted test, you wait until you're 21 (not 2 years), then you automatically qualify for unrestricted. But looking at it again, the Accelerated test needs doing (if under 2 yrs experience. I'm assuming that's what you're going for). Do you know how different this is to the Standard test?

[mybikevideos]

Yeah thats right (I used to think you could just have it unrestrcted when you were 21 too).

As for the accelerated access test, its exactly the same test as the direct access test. To be honest I've got no idea why its got a different name.

[riskit4abizkit]

I'm looking to get this aswell, got my theory test on wednesday then doing an intensive 5 day course thing :D Only problem is getting the money, i am spending all my money on the lessons and will have none left for a bike :(

[mybikevideos]

Yeah it is expensive getting your test passed and getting a bike (and insurance). Once you get on it and feel that acceleration though (even restricted) you realise its worth it :)

[tescovalu]

this is exactly what i am going to be getting soon cant wate :-)!!! what is the fastest u had it?

[mybikevideos]

Well as its restricted to 33bhp the top speed I have had it is just under 110 mph and it wouldnt go any further

[JustTheRoad]

Im 17 how much will the insurance be for me?? Im going to get a suzuki gsx650f restricted to 33bhp...

[macca1088]

Costs me £600 for fully comp insurance on a CBR600F3.... Which is pretty good because i'm 20

[weedwhackerman]

If a car its going at 50mph - 55mph how does the bike overtake??? Does it struggle or does it pull away at a decent speed. Sorry for all the questions its just that im getting a 33bhp bike after i pass my test hopfully in the next 2 or 3 weeks. I was also thinking about getting a CBR600F because on the 600RR the insurance is too expensive, for me at 17 its about £2000 lol

[mybikevideos]

at 50mph the bike still overtakes pretty easily, its when you start getting to about 70 - 80 that you notice its not as easy to overtake.

Yeah I was looking at getting the 600RR but again the insurance was too expensive (im 20). To be honest im quite glad i got the 600F as its much more comfy and better for taking pillion passengers.

If you havent already then check out my other two videos of the 600F, there's one of me doing 0 - 60 and another that is just a general montage :)

[pitbike2006]

hey i hear your doing the same as me how mutch was the incurance about for a 600F as im thinking about this bike also

thanks

[weedwhackerman]

Depends on what age you are...If your 19-20 its not so bad, but if your 17 then it will cost about £1400 third party fire and theft - which is dodgey!!!

[pitbike2006]

yea true lol

what if im down as a 2nd driver on my bike and my step dad as as the owner ? just a guess will do

and are you getting one of thease also?

[Magglorr]

£1400? if your 17 then its a way better idea to get a 250 or something, i have a Kawasaki gpx250 1996 (older version of the ninja 250), it cost around £250 for me to insure at 17 and 0-60 is under 6 sec and i can keep up in the twisties with my friend who has a unrestricted cbr600f

[weedwhackerman]

But i'm only 17, we are restricted to a bike no bigger than 125cc no matter what the HP output is. If i get a 1000cc engine that only puts out 5hp i still can't use it lol.

[Magglorr]

no your not, at 17 you can take your full test and then u are restricted to 33bhp (a 250 is usually around this) and after 2 years (when your 19) u can ride anything.

[weedwhackerman]

Yes but i don't have a full Cat A motorcycle licence, i was talking about learners

=)

[mybikevideos]

Take your cat A test then :) I wish I had done it earlier!

[np264qa]

£372.83 for me im 17 and only just passed my test and have a cbr600f

[devilsmybitch]

i was getting returns of like £1300 when i tried to get insured for a zx6r, What insurance company are you with, if you dont mind sharin?

[bipod11]

@np264qa mate where'd you get that quote ?! sorry to bother you.. cheers

[boothy392]

Does the 33bhp restriction make the the bike sound different? thanks dude,

[mybikevideos]

I dont think so, but then I havent really heard it unrestricted to compare to. It certainly sounds a lot better than a 250 or something though :)

[JamesFOG]

Looks like a smooth ride.

I'm looking to get the Honda CBR125, how much do you think I should pay for a second hand one in relatively good condition? Thanks man :)

[mybikevideos]

Depends how old it is and where you live. I had a 2008 CBR125 (see my other vids) that I bought when it was only 5 months old and that was £2000 if that helps..

[JamesFOG]

Oh right thanks man. Do you think that 2000 pounds was a bargain for that bike at 5 months old?

[mybikevideos]

Nah I wouldnt say a bargain, they are only £2700 brand new. I bought it from a dealer, im sure I could of gotten a slightly cheaper one if I had bought it privately and looked around more.

[JamesFOG]

Oh right fair enough. I'm also interested in the Honda NSR 125. What are your thoughts on that?

[mybikevideos]

You should join themotorbikeforum-com (replace the - with a . obviously, youtube wont let me post a proper URL thats all)

Theres loads of helpful people on there that know more about bikes than me :)

[JamesFOG]

Thanks a lot man! See you on the road xD

[mybikevideos]

nah its because im under 21 and have only got my restricted license. I'll be taking my full test when im 21 in a few months and can then get it derestricted

[SummerTheFuzzy]

nice vid on restricted bikes, looking at getting a 600 restricted

[mybikevideos]

do it :) you wont regret it!

[AlexCail]

Was the restriction by choice?
