The Most Successful Supersport Racer In History Just Got Better!

The Most Successful Supersport Racer In History Just Got Better!

Date: 2013-09-27
"The new CBR600RR, building on the platform of the previous model, has taken its performance to a new level. It delivers an awesome ride on the circuit, but is even easier than before to ride on city streets. It sounds contradictory, but the natural fusion of these two aspects of the bike's character is what makes this model even more attractive than its predecessor. What's more, we developed the bike with an eye to making it available at an affordable price. As the overall project leader, nothing could give me greater pleasure than for this new CBR600RR to stimulate the Supersports mind of the rider new to the class" says the Series Large Development Project Leader Hirofumi Fukunaga.

The CBR600RR's extremely compact 599cc, liquid cooled DOHC 16-valve inline four-cylinder power plant makes a great contribution to the bike's superb handling. Featuring a compression ratio of 12.2:1,it produces 88kW @ 13,500rpm, with torque of 66Nm @ 11,250rpm. In this stage of the engine's development improved power and torque were not the focus; instead, throttle response and feel across the entire rev-range were targeted.

The CBR600RR's stunning and very clean new styling is a blend of Honda's current RC213V MotoGP race bike, with aerodynamic lessons taken directly from the 2011 RC212V.
