Completely new from stem to stern, Honda's astounding new 2007
CBR600RR launches a blistering assault on the roads and tracks of
Europe with a sleek and slippery new, aerodynamically designed
race-ready form; a lighter and more powerful new 600cc Dual
Sequential Fuel Injected inline-4 engine with the smallest
dimensions in its class; a slimmer and lighter weight new Fine
Die-Cast aluminium frame that realises both a shorter wheelbase and
a longer swingarm; and an impressive list of high- performance
features which all come together to herald the arrival of the
electrifying new champion of the mid-displacement Super Sports
class.
Packed with racing technologies handed directly down from
Honda's mighty MotoGP champion, the RC211V, the astounding CBR600RR
debuted in 2003 as a mid- sized sports bike designed primarily to
reassert Honda's leadership in the highly competitive environment
of World Supersport racing. Subsequently, its class-leading
combination of top performance characteristics carried the CBR600RR
to three consecutive World Supersport championships following the
2002 title held by the CBR600F-Sport, and total domination of its
class in every year since its auspicious debut. It also excelled at
providing one of the most exciting blends of top performance and
remarkable riding ease to ever make a rider with a need for speed
feel like a champion. Its incredible race-winning capability and
far-reaching performance potential also made the CBR a thrilling
and confidence-inspiring mount for those who simply love to
ride...fast.
Time, however, gradually caught up with the CBR600RR, and the
competition has grown to become especially intense in the
hottest-selling category in the world of street bikes. In order to
reassert its domination of the class, the CBR required more than
just another makeover and the addition of a few new performance
features to a well- proven design. Instead, the time had come to
start again on a clean page to incorporate all the design,
manufacturing and racing innovations gleaned over the years since
the CBR saw the first light of day. The time had come to lay a king
to rest and prepare the stage for the coming of a new champion.
