Head of it’s Class…

Motorcycling has always been about that perfect bond between rider and machine. Of course there’s the wind and the elements, but most of all it’s about the balance, about how involved your entire body is with every aspect of riding. And when you find the perfect bike, it moves with you just like it was an extension of yourself.

The Honda CBR600RR ABS is that machine. Proven on the track, it fits like a glove, and is as responsive and instinctive as snapping your fingers. Happy to cut fast laps on a track day, it’s comfortable enough to use as a weekday commuter or a weekend canyon bike.

First of all, there’s its size: compact, light, a tribute to Honda’s understanding of mass centralization, the four-cylinder engine revs like nothing you’ve ever ridden, unless you’ve ridden a MotoGP racer. The chassis (an aluminum twin-spar design) is the basis of the CBR600RR’s laser-sharp handling. Brakes? You can choose between its conventional triple-disc setup or opt for a special version with Honda’s revolutionary Combined Anti-Lock Braking System (C-ABS), the first ever on a production Supersport motorcycle. And it just plain looks right too, especially this year with a new Black/White option that looks like a tri-color Honda wing, but fades to grey.

Honda’s new CBR600RR has moved the Super Sport game on. Its razor-sharp handling, pinpoint accuracy and incredible power delivery are certain to make a difference to your ride.

Raw power tamed in an instant – And if it looks fast, it’s because it is fast!

The 599cc, liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine not only drives incredibly hard to its redline, but is also flexible, punching out strong mid-range torque. Its remapped Programmed Dual Sequential Fuel Injection system (PGM-DSFI) delivers even sharper throttle response and feel, while the IACV (Intake Air Control Valve) now works at all rpm, for much greater sensitivity and control. It’s as if your right hand is directly hard-wired into this engine.

Racing DNA

In 2003, the Honda CBR600RR entered the World Super Sports arena and instantly changed the game.

Side on, right-facing black CBR600RR.

The CBR600RR has the look of a focused track machine.

 

It has been the Super Sports weapon of choice for 10 years, taking 7 World Championship titles and 9 Manufacturer’s World titles. We take our learnings from the track and apply them to our production bikes, and the 2013 CBR600RR is no exception.


Racing lines


Beautifully clean, the CBR600RR’s aerodynamic package is derived from Honda’s MotoGP race machines, with clear references to the current RC213V. Its lines echo the design of the factory race machine. It not only reduces drag but also improves stability and provides excellent wind protection. Speed, distilled.


Race-Winning Heritage

With over 700 total MotoGP victories, Honda’s winning heritage stands far above any other manufacturer, just as Honda’s motorcycles stand out on the street. Our superior engineering and technology put our GP bikes in the winners’ circle and give you the performance you need for the street.


Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD)

The compact HESD helps maintain predictable high-speed handling and low-speed maneuverability. Way more sophisticated than a simple fixed-rate damper, it’s one of the keys to the CBR600RR’s extraordinary handling.


Revolutionary Brakes

The CBR600RR’s Combined Anti-Lock Braking System (C-ABS) is the first of its kind on a Supersport machine. Even the most critical motorcycle testers rave about how well they work. Find out what the experts have to say about this revolutionary feature.

 

 

 

2016 Honda CBR600RR ABS www.Totalmotorcycle.com Key Features

Engine & Drivetrain

Racy performance

Liquid-cooled DOHC 16-valve 599 cc inline-four engine features oversquare bore and stroke dimensions of 67 mm x 42.5 mm, which contributes to its high-revving, quick-accelerating nature. The lightweight forged-aluminum pistons incorporate special shot peening for added toughness, and oil jets beneath the pistons provide additional friction reduction and cooling.

Extreme redline

High-revving engine redlines at 15,000 rpm. The cylinder head features angled valve insets to improve airflow. Two springs per intake valve and one spring per exhaust valve, plus direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation, help to ensure optimum high-rpm valve operation and durability. A double-pivot cam-chain tensioner provides additional durability.

Strong spark

Iridium-tip sparkplugs improve fuel combustion and performance, and a non-resonance knock sensor maintains optimum spark advance while constantly monitoring combustion performance during mid- to high-speed operation.

Enhanced rideability & horsepower

The Dual Stage Fuel Injection (DSFI) system features 40 mm throttle bodies and two injectors per cylinder — one upper and one lower — controlled by an electronic control system (ECU) that senses rpm and throttle opening. The lower injectors enhance rideability while the upper injectors improve top-end horsepower. A two-stage ram-air system provides a high volume of cool air to the airbox for linear power delivery and incredible engine performance.

Optimum efficiency & power

Auto-enrichment system is integrated into the programmed fuel-injection (PGM-FI) module, eliminating the need for a manual choke. Denso 12-hole injectors deliver finely atomized fuel mixture for optimum combustion efficiency and power.

Smooth response

The Intake Air Control Valve (IACV) minimizes torque reaction and smoothes response to small throttle changes through gradual reductions of air and fuel intake when the throttle is opened and closed.

Maximum lightweight performance

Lightweight stainless steel four-into-one exhaust system features an inline-exhaust valve to control exhaust pressure for maximum performance. The routing of the exhaust system beneath the tail section helps to improve lean angle.

Sure shifting

The smooth-shifting close-ratio six-speed transmission is closely matched to the engine’s powerband.


Chassis & Suspension

Light weight

Fine Die-Cast (FDC) aluminum frame uses four large castings for optimum rigidity and light weight.

High-tech front end

The Showa Big Piston fork features a large damping-oil volume to effectively reduce the hydraulic pressure generated as the fork legs compress and extend. The result is more precise action during the initial stroke and smoother damping action for improved handling, enhanced front-end feedback, and a more solid feel during hard braking.

Improved rideability out of corners

Unit Pro-Link rear suspension system is patterned after Honda’s RC213V MotoGP racer. In this two-piece shock system, the upper shock mount is contained within the swingarm rather than the frame. With no top frame mount for the shock, this unique system reduces negative suspension energy from being transmitted into the frame, improving rear-end traction and enhancing cornering performance.

Enhanced stability

Small and light Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) enhances stability by automatically adjusting damping pressure to suit the bike’s speed.

Superior stopping power

Braking system features twin four-piston radial-mounted front calipers, dual 310 mm front discs and a single 220 mm rear disc for optimum stopping power. Vertical-piston master-cylinder system produces superior leverage ratio at the front brake lever for higher braking efficiency with excellent feel and controllability. This layout permits the use of a longer brake lever, which means more braking force with less effort from the rider.

For the ultimate braking performance

Optional Electronically Controlled Combined ABS – the first ABS system designed specifically for the unique demands of a sportbike – brings world-class stopping power and control to your fingertips.

12-spoke aluminum wheels

Stylish 12-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels feature race-spec 3.5 x 17-inch front and 5.5 x 17-inch rear dimensions.

Maximum cooling efficiency

One-piece fan assembly for maximum cooling efficiency.

Designed convenience

Convenient features include a compact rear cowl storage compartment for U-type locking devices (lock not included) under the passenger seat, optional seat cowl, integrated ignition-switch/fork lock for added security, and convenient push-to-cancel turn-signal switch. Pivoting aerodynamic mirrors, maintenance-free battery and a one-year, unlimited mileage, freely transferable warranty top off the list.
