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.
