Revision as of 23:53, 26 June 2006
The Honda CBR600RR is a 599cc Honda "Supersport" motorcycle that was introduced in 2003 to replace Honda's CBRFx series motorcycles.
Racing Roots
The CBR600RR was developed from and inspired by the Honda RC211V MotoGP bike. When released in 2003 with its braced swingarm, undertail exhaust, and more agressive riding position, it was the first Honda supersport bike to be developed as a race machine first, hence the "RR" designation for "race replica". The 2003 model carried over to 2004 technically unchanged, but with new color schemes.
Midlife Revision
In 2005, the CBR600RR was revised with new body work, fully adjustable inverted front forks, a set of track-inspired radial-mounted disc brakes with four-piston calipers, and an entirely new aluminum frame, swingarm and rear shock. These changes along with additional refinements to the engine and exhaust system all came together to bring CBR600RR's weight down nine pounds. Except for new color schemes, the 2006 model is unchanged from the previous year and has a MSRP of $8,999.
Competition
For the 2006 model year, the CBR600RR competes with the Suzuki GSX-R600, the Yamaha YZF-R6, the Ducati 749, and the Triumph Daytona 675. Although these bikes have proven to be more powerful, the CBR600RR, with its stand-out suspension and handling, is known for doing everything well and provides the rider with the confidence to do so.
2007 Model
An all new CBR600RR is expected to be shown by Honda in the fall of 2006 for 2007 model year. It is widely rumored to be equiped with a slipper clutch and more powerful motor. There have been many spy and concept photos that can be found on the internet, but currently nothing has been confirmed by Honda.
