NSR125 - the most useable of the sports 125's, it has a lower power output compared with the other offerings such as the Aprilia RS125 and Cagiva Mito but this means its more reliable, it all depends whether you want a bike to thrash senseless occasionally or a bike to use everyday and have fun on at the same time, if the latter sounds like you then the NSR125 could be the bike you're looking for, could defiantly use a few more horses in there though in my opinion 76%

CBR600F - It's been around since 1987 and it has sold by the truck full, it is the perfect all rounder, you can commute all week then attend trackdays at the weekend, fast enough for every situation even though the suspension is satisfactory rather than brilliant and overheats with fast track and road use, the CBR is totally reliable and has experienced success on the race track as well winning the 2002 world supersport championship in the hands of Fabien Foret 89%

CBR600RR - Totally new for 2003 is the CBR600RR, it features a number of things developed for use on Hondas Moto-GP machine - the RC211V such as the position of the rear shock and the way it is mounted, the underseat exhaust and it also shares the look and aerodynamics of the RCV, its bound to be the best sports 600 of 2003 94%
Hornet 600 - the hornet has been a big success for Honda, the engine has been lifted from the old CBR600F but has different carbs that give it more midrange but less top end power, not a bad thing because its still more than quick enough for most people and the extra midrange stomp means it's a top wheelie tool, the bike features an unusual spine frame that runs across the top of the engine instead of beside it or around it as with conventional designs, the hornet is a right laugh for not a lot of cash but the brakes could be improved 84%

CBR900RR Fireblade - ah the blade, what can I say that hasn't already been said, a biking icon from the moment it was launched way back in 1992, nothing got close to the Fireblade's blend of awesome power and low weight for 6 years (the R1 came along and pissed on its firework) the blade is not dead though, its arguably a better road bike than the R1 or GSX-R1000 and its certainly got enough grunt to scare the shit out of most people 91%

VTR1000 Firestorm - Launched back in 1997 as Hondas attempt to steal some sales from ducati in the big bore V-twin class but Suzuki beat them to it with the TL1000S the firestorm was just to soft and civilized when compared to the TL, its still an awesome bike though, cheap, fast and comes in some of the nicest paint schemes ever 77%
