Miscellaneous

To round off the package, let's not forget we have to stop every now and then.  Honda upped the ante in the braking department by sandwiching 310mm floating rotors between a pair of fade-resistant sintered metal pads sent into action by a pair of powerful and responsive four-piston calipers.  This represents a sizeable increase in stopping power over the 296mm discs of the 600F. At the rear, a lightweight single-piston caliper mounted atop the swingarm grips a 220mm disc.


Easy to read and functional by design, Honda once again combines the digital speedometer with a prominent analog tachometer.  The gauge set, believe it or not, holds more functionality in yet less weight than its predecessors.
