The Honda CBR600 is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Twenty years ago, the motorbike’s fastest speed was 140mph with 80bhp whereas now it is 170mph with 118bhp with over 400,000 sold in that time.

The motorbike has been a good all-round bike which has been reliable on the road but also on the race track too, winning races in Supersport Championships and also European and World Championships.

The 2007 Varadero has just been released into shops at a cost of £3499. It was first launched in 2001 and is still a popular bike with learners.

The new model has some extra features including a more environmentally friendly fuel and emissions system, new headlights and a new dashboard including an electronic speedo. The whole bike is also slightly smaller in size than the previous version.

The optional extras for the bike include a centre stand, heated grips and a waterproof cover.

The new bike comes in 3 different colours, chevalier silver, pearl concours black and bloom red metallic.
