SAUCY 600S
It could be argued that some things are better left in the past, such as your psycho ex, the plague and instant mashed potato. But then there are other thingscry into, the good news is that the used 600 scene is absolutely massive. Luckily for us, these bikes have been so popular over the years that there’s still a raft of pre-loved 600 machines ready and waiting for new homes. Bikes such as these in front of you, which are among the best examples to hit the market… ever. No test of this nature would be complete without the staple R6’s inclusion, especially one as clean as this 2015 plate, and the same goes for Honda’s CBR600, which can trace its lineage back to day dot of the mid-capacity sportsbike sector. Last but not least, there’s Triumph’s awesome Daytona 675R, which has proved to be a winner the world over. All the bikes in this test were kindly lent to us by generous owners, so Timmy and I fought the temptation and didn’t go nuts on them, staying clear of the racetrack and their rev limiters. But we did clock loads of miles on each of the machines around our favourite roads, putting them through their paces on Michelin’s awesome Pilot Road 6s. Each had something different to offer. Each got us laughing like giddy kids.
