The most successful Supersport racer in history just got better!

The most successful Supersport racer in history just got better!

Date: 2014-03-28
"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"; 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. 

The CBR600RR's front suspension was targeted as the main area from which to find improved levels of handling. Honda's development engineers noted in testing that there has been a slight tendency for the front suspension on recent Supersports bikes to dive quickly when the brakes are applied. Improved damping function was key for the new CBR600RR, so a fully adjustable Showa Big Piston inverted front fork, with an exceptionally rigid 41mm diameter inner tube, has been used, amongst other improvements. 

Come and experience how stable the new CBR600RR is, visit our showroom at 15 Meridian Drive, Umhlanga Ridge or call us on 031 580 7900.
