Photoshoot of the Week: May 11th-17th 2020 - Finja & Honda CBR600RR

The scoop is on the cover of the March issue of the Japanese monthly Young Machine: according to their sources, Honda will launch the new version of the super sporty CBR 600RR-R at the end of the year. The arrival of the new 600 four-cylinder has been talked about since 2017, that is, as soon as Honda put the CBR600RR off the list. That bike was on the crest of the wave - it must be said - for years, strong consolidated image and performance (power of 120 horses), effective cycling, good sporting results and its engine to equip Moto2 from race. But it was Euro 3 approved, therefore no longer salable, and Honda decided that it was not worth the effort to redesign that model given the strong contraction of the hyper-sports 600 market. He preferred the quieter CBR650F, with a more affordable price and suitable for emerging markets. However, its production still continued, for the benefit of some markets; this is the case in the United States where the 2020 version of the CBR600RR, an almost unchanged technique compared to the model available from us until 2016, is on sale at a price of $ 12,799 in the only matt black color. After the arrival of the new Fireblade 1000 Honda this year, however, it would have a good reason to renew the CBR600 as well, being able to take advantage of its commercial towing and participation in the Superbike world championship.However, Honda did not want to update the CBR600RR to Euro 4 because the costs were excessive for a model that suffered a sharp drop in demand. Now the problem is called Euro 5, and it is even more pressing than Euro4, which translates into even greater costs than those analyzed four years ago. Besides, the Covid-19 emergency has literally stopped Honda's production almost all over the world, creating serious economic losses. So, in front of a possible "cut" in order to optimize resources, the project of a new super sports car 600 could be the first to be cut off. Beyond that, we shall see. Meanwhile just relax and enjoy the marvellous photoshoot made by German bikergirl and tremendous gear-socialite Finja with her old Honda CBR600RR. Damn, she's so good riding that beast: her photos are definitely a good enough reason to bring back this model for me!

Photoshoot of the Week: February 3rd-9th 2020 - Steffi & Honda CBR600RR PC40

Motorbikes provide many of the individual freedoms associated with cars, but with lower environmental costs. Motorcycles are indeed more fuel-efficient than cars and emitted less of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, but they emitted far more smog-forming hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen, as well as the toxic air pollutant carbon monoxide. Anyway motorcycle manufacturing requires thousands fewer pounds of raw materials than automobiles. They require less fossil fuel, so they require less energy to pull that fossil fuel out of the ground. They use fewer chemicals and oils than cars. Motorcycles put less wear and tear on roadways, take up less parking room, and also reduce the amount of space needed to transport a single passenger. In addition to being intrinsically green, you also have two other ways to increase the environmental friendliness of your motorcycle riding. First of all staying on top of motorcycle maintenance keeps your bike running well and your environmental impact as low as possible. Fluid changes, equipment checks, and motorcycle exhaust maintenance all play a part in how green your motorcycle is running. In addition, to increase fuel efficiency, I recommend watching how smooth you are when you’re riding. Accelerating slowly increases your MPG and cuts down on the amount of work your engine needs to do. You also save maintenance on other wear and tear items, such as your brakes and tires. After all riding is not just good for the environment, but also for yourself: this is why proud German bikergirl and famous socialite Steffi always takes her classic Honda CBR600RR PC40 sportbike for a ride in the heart of her homeland amazing forests: from mature woods to shady streams and beautiful open heathland, Germany surely offers some fantastic riding opportunities which every biker should seize. Just at one condition: being in touch with nature means that you have to ride a motorcycle safely and responsibly. However, it is important to be aware that excessive noise from motorcycles can have significant impacts on wildlife and other inhabitants. Besides please obey speed limits, avoid traveling in large groups and excessive acceleration or revving of the engine. As Steffy shows to her thousands of followers every day, being respectfully is the only way to experience German's natural and cultural heritage riding your bike. In any case, you don't want to mess around with Germans, do you? *** Country roads The Honda CBR600RR is a 599 cc (36.6 cu in) sport bike made by Honda since 2003, part of the CBR series. The CBR600RR was marketed as Honda's top-of-the-line middleweight sport bike, succeeding the 2002 Supersport World Champion 2001–2006 CBR600F4i, which was then repositioned as the tamer, more street-oriented sport bike behind the technically more advanced and uncompromising race-replica CBR600RR. The model that has earned eight World Supersport titles (nine if you count its CBR600F predecessor) touts a strong engine and front suspension featuring Honda’s 41mm Big Piston Fork for exceptional handling and supple action. The legendary Honda CBR600RR returns for 2020. Ever since the CBR600RR rolled onto the scene back in 2003, it has become the standard for 600cc supersports motorcycles. Featuring top of the range technology, MotoGP inspired aerodynamics, and the perfect blend of performance and handling, the CBR600RR is a true racing replica to dominate the streets on. Powered by a tried and tested 599cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine that produces 113 horsepower and 48.7 lb-ft of peak torque, the CBR600RR offers exceptional performance in a package that’s light and nimble on the roads. The secret to the CBR600RR’s success isn’t the engine performance; it’s down to the handling. Built on top of a lightweight twin-spar aluminum chassis, the CBR600RR features top-notch Showa Big Piston forks and a Unit Pro-Link single-shock, combined with Honda’s incredible HESD (Honda Electric Steering Damper) technology that offers optimum damping force, courtesy of the ECU. An advanced suite of electronic rider aids works to enable fast lap times, while aerodynamic technologies from the RC213V MotoGP race bike are used to both increase downforce and improve braking stability. For the first time, the “Fireblade” name is being used in the U.S. market. It’s no wonder that the CBR600RR platform has chalked up plenty of victories in the World Supersport Championships over the years. It offers ample firepower wrapped in a compact and nimble package. Today’s CBR600RR takes engineering and styling cues directly from the MotoGP winning RC213V, making it more fearsome than ever before! #bikergirl #fastbikes #RidinGirlsBlog #racing #HondaCBR1000RR #honda #Shoei #vintage #motorbike #bikelife #bikersofinstagram #bikerfamily #bikergirl #HondaCBR600RR #caferacergram #caferacerporn #girlsonbikes #ridemore #sportbike #sexybiker #HondaCBR #CBR1000 #CBR600 #CBR600RR #hondagirls #hondacbr #hondagirl #bikerchick #bikerlady #motorbike #speed #roadracing #ridingsexy #girlswhoride #riderich #girlsonbikes #cbr1000rr #caferacer #motogp #moto #helmetporn #classicbike #streetcaferacers #cbr #motorlady #motorrad #motard #PC40

The landscapes of Germany are at once charming, bewitching, and staggeringly pretty: alpine peaks, mysterious forests, evergreens looming above the floor, long paths through the conifer-strewn woods. Unfortunately in recent years catastrophic combination of heat, drought, storms, forest fires, beetle plagues and a fungi blight have so far this year destroyed swathes of German forest equivalent to more than 200,000 football fields. Germany should therefore reconsider its strategic and financial efforts to create forests resilient to future climate change. Not by chance Agriculture Minister Julia Klöckner told public broadcaster SWR ahead of the National Forest Summit, which was held in Spetember 2019: "Every missing tree is a missing comrade-in-arms against climate change," Klöckner said. "Whatever we don't reforest today, our grandchildren will, of course, miss". Germany has finally begun decisive action to turn around the long run of bad years that the country’s forests have suffered. Fixing on exactly what the restored forests will look like—and how they will fare under stress—looks set nonetheless to be a work in progress for many years to come. Read the full article

Photoshoot of the Week: April 20th-26th 2020 - Ozzy & Honda CBR600RR

Although bikers may pride themselves on their glamorous, fast-moving image, many non-bikers have a less positive view about motorcycles and think they are a dirty, loud and aggressive presence on our roads. Besides when it comes to air pollution, motorcycles are deemed actually worse than cars. Is this really fair? The question of how much pollution a motorbike emits is not a simple one. Most people assume that bikes must emit less pollution per kilometre than cars simply because they are much lighter and therefore must consume less fuel. This is true in relation to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions - in general, urban/commuter-class bikes cause half the CO2 emissions of the average car. This is positive in terms of climate-change impact, as CO2 is a significant greenhouse gas. Where bikes score less favourably is in terms of ground-level pollution - and, therefore, direct impact on health - with their disproportionately higher emissions of hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO). The reason for this discrepancy is that motorbike engines are still far less advanced in terms of fuel efficiency than petrol-powered cars. Anyway technical innovation in the motorcycle industry has played a key role in progressively lowering vehicle emissions, especially in Europe. Since the introduction of the first standard for motorcycles and mopeds in 1999 (we have now reached the so called Euro 5 level), pollutant emissions have been drastically reduced. Combined emissions of HC and NOx have gone down by 96.6%, whilst carbon monoxide (CO) emissions have been reduced by 92.3%. Is that a good news? Yes, but I am well aware that much remains to be done to improve environmental performance of motorcycles. The next step will probably be crucial: the electric revolution! I truly hope it won’t take long for the promise of electric vehicles to takes over the automotive industry, and for motorcycle manufacturers, the revelation of innovative technologies, instantaneous power delivery and lightweight cells seems like too good of an opportunity to pass up. Anyway I'd like to remember one thing: even if all motorbikes will be zero-emission vehicles one day, this won't save us from the catastrphic climate change danger. The whole economic and industrial system is facing a critical challenge and has to shift towards clean energy transitions, but even that is not enough: we must preserve our environment and biodiversity, especially woods and forests, which are put at risk by agricultural expansion, cattle breeding, timber extraction, mining, oil extraction, dam construction and infrastructure development. Bikergirls surely do know that: just look at the Romanian tremendous motorgirl and Ozzy Zulum, aka the Ghost Rider, who never misses an opportunity to reconnect with wilderness, even after riding her Honda CBR600RR. As mother of twin girls, she thinks that nature is crucial for both children and adults: we need to spend more time unplugged and find ways to let nature balance our lives. So, if you're a biker, relax: it won't be that ride into the woods that will destroy our environment, it's the reckless disregard towards forest degradation emergency that is doing that. So, whether you are or are not a biker, are you ready to fight? Honda CBR 600RR *** Cheating on her Honda Bmw S1000RR There was a time when a lot of bikers wanted a 600cc sports bike, especially the Honda CBR 600RR. With a long history as the sole engine used in the MotoGP intermediate class (Moto2), the glorious return of a new model is set to happen next year with possibly the 2021 Honda CBR600RR-R! The new rumor circulating is that a Honda CBR600RR-R could be coming in 2021. The Japanese publication Young Machine was the first major publication to report on the rumor and then Asphalt & Rubber and some other publications picked up the story. Botn newspapers reported that this might be a possibility as Honda plans to launch a new middleweight sports bike model that complies with the Euro5 emission regulations. The CBR600RR hit a wall back in 2017 when Europe stopped selling them due to the bike’s not ranking up with the Euro4 regulations. This was then replaced with a more subdued and ‘road-friendly’ Honda CBR650R and its naked brethren, the CB650R. Designed more as a sport-tourer rather than a full-on track-eating 600cc machine, the CBR600RR seems to be put into storage as even the Moto2 folks moved on to the bigger 765cc Triumph-powered inline-three engine. It’s somewhat true that the 600cc sports bike category is slowly have been losing popularity over the years but Honda might just have something that may reignite this particular category with the 2021 Honda CBR600RR-R. Based on its bigger and very powerful 1000cc sibling, the CBR1000RR-R, it’s a good prospect to have. Price and specs are the key points that may affect the overall outcome of this new and possibly upcoming Honda middleweight crotch rocket (as with any other bike). While a lot of riders may not be able to afford the 2020 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP (RM198,800 here in Malaysia), the CBR600RR-R might just be a worthy choice.

For years, corrupt authorities turned a blind eye to illegal felling. But now a series of killings in the woods has intensified demands across the continent to end the destruction. Six rangers - who defend forests from illegal cutting – have been killed in as many years. Two died in the space of just a few weeks late last year. The latest victim, Liviu Pop, father of three young girls, was shot as he confronted men he thought were stealing timber. But the men weren’t arrested. They say the ranger shot himself. And in the remote region of Maramures, where many people are involved in logging, that version is widely believed. Locals are afraid to talk about what happened. Is the lucrative logging business protected by powerful interests who turn a blind eye to murder? And are rangers sometimes complicit in the rape of the forest? Last February, the European Commission put Romania on notice over illegal logging in the country, calling Bucharest to put an end to the traficking, or face sanctions. However, this may not be enough to tackle the issue at the heart of the wood trafficking scam. Read the full article

Photoshoot of the Week: June 29th-July 5th 2020 - Evelyn & Honda CBR600RR

The German Lake #Starnberg is one of the most popular places to visit for Munich’s natives, who frequent the lake for a swim or a boat ride, or grab a bite to eat at the local fish restaurants, which dot the shores together with lovely holiday homes. The city's inhabitants enjoy the beautiful landscape, surrounded by a perfect fore-Alp scenery, and explore Starnberg’s history on foot and their bicycles.  The #StarnbergerSee is notoriously famous because the body of Bavarian King Ludwig II washed ashore on June 13th, 1886. King Ludwig was a big deal around Lake Starnberg. He was a frequent visitor to Rose Island (with his first-cousin, Elisabeth the Empress of Austria). This is why the island is on the Sisi’s Road scenic route (and part of the town of Feldafing).  Another must-see stop along the Starnberger See is Bernried, home to the 12th century Kloster Bernried. Belonging to the Augustinian Order, they built the grand Stiftskirche St. Martin in 1122. And the town is also home to a Museum of Fantasy Art. As if the lake isn’t inspiring enough? Well... that's all very fascinating and we do enjoy being outdoors here in this part of Upper Bavaria, but on our terms: personally we #bikers prefer taking a ride with our #motorcycles, just like Russian origin #motorgirl and wonderul socialite @mrs.cbr.e.659 , who loves to explore the Munich region on the two wheels.  So, sorry cyclists, but this bikergirl decided to try the bike trail around the entire lake on its 46.2km (28.7miles). We know, that's not so good to inspire her #Honda exhaust emissions and dust while she's outrunning you with her rainbow #superbike #HondaCBR600RR, but if you love the beautiful views you have to admit that it's worth bumping into her: just take a look at her photoshoot! If anyone is wondering where is the lake or the mountains in the photo, maybe I wasn't enough clear one second ago: do you really need them with Evelyn? #bikergirl #fastbikes #racing #HondaCBR1000RR #AGV #speed #motorbike #bikelife #instamoto #bikerfamily #bikergirl #HondaCBR600RR #girlsonbikes #ridemore #sportbike #sexybiker #moto #hondacbr #hondagirl #bikerchick #bikerlady #motorbike #motorrad #motard #ridingsexy #girlswhoride #motogp #cbr #motorlady  Read the full article

Photoshoot of the Week: June 22nd-28th 2020 - Franzii & Honda CBR650F

Even if “F” and “R” are just two consonants with soft sounds in our alphabet, the difference between them in Honda’s lexicon is huge: the former stands for 4-stroke while the latter is reserved for its supersports models. Anyway, if you consider the outgoing Honda CBR650F, replaced in 2018) by the new Honda CBR650R (whose production started in 2019), the differences between are fairly miniscule: the front forks are different, the compression ratio is up slightly to 11.6:1 from 11.4:1, and the 650R is three kg lighter (due to two litre smaller fuel tank, which, at only 15.4L, brings the overall wet weight down to 208 kg). Considering the small differences, the rebadging of the #CBR650F as an “R” was probably due to marketing purposes: it’s the same bike, with a slightly more advanced front end and a newer name. Whatever the ending letter, the #CBR650 is still a very solid middleweight bike. Compared to superbikes models, this motorcycle is highly affordable in many ways (fuel, insurance, overall cost) but mostly is a guarante of ease of riding. The shift towards a more accessible “sportiness” is a sensible one: the 650 is a motorbike which you can ride around town, while still enjoying a decent level of street cred. You can keep up with larger bikes on most public roads and if you take one to the track, you’ll have a lot of fun, just like our beautiful German #bikergirl and tremendous socialite @miss.daizii in the suburbs and outskirts of #Hanover. She prefers the classic version and honestly you can't blame her: taking off from a stop is easy with her #Honda CBR650F, with a surprising amount of grunt for a middleweight inline four-cylinder. In fact, grabbing a handful of throttle at 4500 rpm reveals more acceleration than we can ever recall with this type of engine; you can actually pass cars on the highway below 7000 rpm by just twisting your wrist, with no tap-dancing on the shift lever. When’s the last time you ever heard of doing that with a 600? She definetely has no time for pussies. So guys, don't tell this tough #motorgirl that you prefer the R version instead of the F one, unless you want her to show you also what the F can stand for... #bikergirl #fastbikes #RidinGirlsBlog #racing #HondaCBR1000RR #honda #AGV #speed #motorbike #bikelife #bikersofinstagram #bikerfamily #bikergirl #HondaCBR600RR #girlsonbikes #ridemore #sportbike #sexybiker #HondaCBR #CBR1000 #CBR600 #CBR600RR #hondagirls #hondacbr #hondagirl #bikerchick #bikerlady #motorbike #speed #roadracing #ridingsexy #girlswhoride #riderich #girlsonbikes #cbr1000rr #caferacer #motogp #moto #helmetporn #bikersforenvironment #streetcaferacers #cbr #motorlady #motorrad #motard #HondaCBR650F Read the full article
