The stunning new CBR600RR is set once again to stretch the boundaries of dynamic and visual motorcycle performance. Combining peerless speed on the race track with impeccable road-going manners, the supremely compact and potent new machine allows an ever-wider range of riders - from near-novice to expert - to thrive and excel in the saddle. And from 2009, the exciting addition of optional electronically-controlled Combined Anti-lock Brake System (e-CABS) puts the CBR600RR right at the forefront of enhancing confidence in motorcycle safety.
Now in its fourth generation, it builds on the heritage of blistering pace and supreme control set in 2003 by the first CBR600RR - and, like a fine wine made from the purest ingredients, it�s improving with age. Clearly influenced by, and using technology derived from, Honda's MotoGP campaign, the machine benefits from the common DNA it shares with the World Championship winning RC211V and this year's contender, the RC212V. With its twin philosophies of ultra light weight and easy, precise handling, the CBR600RR stands out from the crowd, with every rider able to feel the pleasure of the Super Sport experience, even if they�re not an expert Super Sport rider.
With key technical enhancements, the CBR600RR reasserts its position as the leader in this most competitive of classes, with improved performance both as an accessible road-going machine and a proven race winner. Among the changes are updates to the CBR600�s ultra-compact engine which have improved the torque from 8,000 rpm to 12,000 rpm to give even better driveability and flexibility. The fairing has been improved to enhance stability while reducing noise emission levels. And exciting new colour schemes are designed to attract a wider range of image-conscious riders.
From the 2009 model, Honda continues to lead the way in the world of high performance sports machinery by introducing the option of e-CABS on the CBR600RR for the first time.
Proven to be a significant aid in emergency braking situations, the availability of e-CABS on the CBR600RR once again demonstrates Honda�s commitment to the continuous improvement of motorcycle confidence, while offering maximum choice to its customers.
In order to fit e-CABS on such a sport-oriented machine, Honda has developed a brand new system suitable for the special demands of Super Sports riding. While not designed to be a performance enhancement for riding at maximum pace on the track, Honda�s new innovation in Anti-lock Braking Systems is a huge step forward in motorcycle technology, which has not been seen before on such a high performance sports motorcycle.
With the enhanced security and confidence that go hand in hand with e-CABS, the riding pleasure of the CBR600RR will now be opened to even more riders.
