Forum post about Honda 599 2006
This 600-class minimalist sportbike has long been an enthusiast favorite, and now it’s better than ever. New inverted front suspension, topped off with an attractive meter and cowl package. Same easy-to-use, free-revving power. Rock-solid chassis. Great riding position. It’s everything you want in a sportbike and not an ounce more.
