Introduction

The CBR600RR holds an enviable position at the forefront of race-bred engineering, excelling in both track and road performance. In 2012 its competitive focus is reaffirmed by the release of a thrilling new colour option: a fresh Victory Red/Ross White version.

Supremely compact and potent, the CBR600RR delivers blistering power balanced by easy, natural handling and faultless road manners. This is made possible by ultra-light weight, mass centralisation and a compact chassis. The engine delivers immediate, exhilarating torque, while its fairing is aggressively aerodynamic, enhances stability and allows maximum enjoyment of the machine's performance.

Smooth, strong braking power is provided by radially-mounted four-piston caliper front disc brakes. The ABS version features the revolutionary Honda electronically-controlled "Combined ABS". Due to its short wheelbase, a sportsbike can be prone to pitching under hard braking, which reduces rear traction. The unique Honda system, designed specifically for Super Sports riders, minimises this tendency, ensuring superb stability and control under severe deceleration.

In either the standard or the Combined ABS version, the CBR600RR is an incredibly versatile and agile Super Sports machine. It is capable of the fastest, most intense track riding, while also delivering a controllable and naturally easy road-riding experience.
