Honda CBR 600 F weight FAQ
What does the Honda CBR 600 F weigh ready to ride?

Is the Honda CBR 600 F heavy compared with other Honda sport bikes?
Relatively speaking, it is on the heavier side. The model sits near the 69th weight percentile in its Honda category, so it is heavier than most of the compatible comparison set.
Does the Honda CBR 600 F weight change by model year?
Not every covered year uses the same figure. The page groups identical values together and lists the later model years where the supplied weight specification changes.
How much does the Honda CBR 600 F fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 4.23 US gal (16 L) to 4.76 US gal (18 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 26.3 lb (11.9 kg) to 29.6 lb (13.4 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Honda curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Honda CBR 600 F with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 638.6 lb (289.6 kg) using the representative wet/running figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
