Had enough of winter? Then get ready to ride, because spring is a’comin’! So you’ve eaten more than your fill of chestnuts roasted on an open fire. And if Jack Frost nips at your nose just one more time, you’ll haul off and kick him in the shins. Feeling a little tense, are you?

Among the many improvements bestowed upon the 2013 CBR600RR is one that’s a little more difficult to spot until you know what you’re looking for: the new inverted 41mm Big Piston Fork (BPF).
