HONDA CBR600F4i (2000-2001) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CBR600F4i was a sports motorcycle manufactured from 2001 to 2006, an upgraded F4 model with numerous engine, chassis, and bodywork modifications. It came with a new subframe, which raised the seat by five mm allowing more storage room and improving the tow-up seat.

The new instrument cluster included a large analog tachometer and an LCD that included a speedometer, odometer, clock, engine temperature read-out, and trip meters. It also featured a smaller taillight with a new dual-bulb configuration.

Aside from the styling changes, the largest update was the addition of the Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system that allowed for a more precise fuel metering and delivery over a wider rpm range, better throttle response, and reduced emissions.

The CBR600F4i featured a new bodywork with a more racy look that provided a three percent reduction in drag force, a front cowl with a new dual headlight that used an H7 bulb instead of the H4 used by the previous model, and the mirrors were repositioned higher and closer to the rider.

The suspension was also altered with a 43 mm fully-adjustable cartridge-type fork on the front and a fully-adjustable gas-charged Pro-Link shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent suspension performance and handling.

In the power department, the 2001 Honda CBR600F4i took its muscles from a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 110 hp with maximum strength at 12,500 rpm and 65 Nm (48 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,500 rpm.
