The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The CBR inline four cylinder sports bike range was launched in the late 1980s and has gone on to win many world championships and TT races in production based series. The Spanish oil company Repsol has been the main sponsor of Honda Grand Prix team for several years with riders such as Mick Doohan, Valentino Rossi, Nicky Hayden, Casey Stoner and Mark Marquez all winning world championships in their colours.
This CBR600 is from a deceased estate, so unfortunately not much is known of its history. It appears to have been an ongoing project and has been professionally refinished in Repsol Honda Grand Prix team colours. A lot of money has been spent on this bike including a Scorpion Titanium end can, new and unused wavy disc, a new front tyre, handlebar raisers and adjustable levers. The bike has been stood for a while so it will need some recommissioning and comes together with a very suitable registration number of 'F3 CBR' and a current V5C.
