2012 Honda CBF600SA – a mirage
By Marissa Baecker The mercury was hovering at 26 degrees, skies decorated with whispy clouds, no wind and several Osprey circling high above as I rode through the twist and turns of backroads farmland and orchards on the 2012 Honda CBF600SA.

2010 Honda CBF600, CBR600RR, CB. . . – what?
