CBR600RR 2005 track -> street legal
Hey guys,
I just bought a 2005 Honda CBR600RR that has mainly been used as a track bike and wanted to hear your thoughts/experiences with these bikes.
The bike:
- 2005 CBR600RR
- Around 12,000 km / 7,500 miles
- Street registered (not a salvage/crushed frame)
- Previous owner used it mostly for track riding
- Öhlins front springs + upgraded rear shock
- Race fairings
- Cleaned/race-prepped wiring setup
- Comes with a LOT of spare parts and extras (5 boxes + original blue body)
The bike starts perfectly, sounds healthy, shifts well and feels mechanically solid overall.
It has some cosmetic crash damage/scratches from being laid down on track, but nothing that seems major structurally.
One thing I’m considering:
I might actually convert it back into a street legal bike again eventually:
- reinstall full wiring harness (PRICE OF THIS ? )
- quickshifter
- lights/signals
- etc.
So I’m curious:
- How reliable are these 05 CBR600RRs long term?
- Anything specific I should watch out for?
- Has anyone converted a track-prepped 600RR back to street use?
- Was it a nightmare or fairly straightforward?
- Do you guys think this sounds like a decent buy for ~$3.4k USD?
Also included a picture of some of the spare parts that came with it.
Would love to hear your experiences with these bikes.
