2007 Honda CBR600RR

[Manic]

Honda released information to the media this morning regarding a few of their 2007 models - the most notable of these being the CBR600RR. Honda's middleweight sportbike has undergone a 'clean sheet' redesign for 2007, with Honda claiming the design team made reducing the 600RR's weight their primary focus, saying "the pursuit of lighter weight everywhere was certainly the fundamental key to the new CBR600RR's design...". The result was a claimed 20lb reduction in dry weight over the 2006 model, from 361 lbs to 341lbs.

Looks like an R6 from the front and a GSX-R from the side...snooze

I agree, I am not too partial to the 600 series of motorcycles due to size and getting my fat butt on one but it does amaze me on how much horsepower they are putting out.

I am looking forward to a comparison of this one and the R6. On a looks level, I prefer the R6.

I know you have to mount the brake cylinder up high......but why does it have to be so ugly? Cant they at least have a better looking one when its in plain view like that? Make it out of billet or paint it black or something. Anything!!

I have both the R6 and R1....and Ill take the R6 ALL DAY LONG....actually I want to trade or sell my R1...I have the 05 R6 tho and its better than the 06.

I've ridden the '06 R6 - the brakes and handling are amazing, but the motor is horrible for a streetbike. Completely useless below 12k RPM, turns on like a light switch.

I have an R1 and love it. Patrick I think what you are refering to is the brake fluid rezavour. It is made that way to be very light weight. For super hi-peformance light weight is more important than looks.
