New Dimensions and Lighter Weight For the Ultimate in Control
Totally new from the ground up, Honda’s dynamic 2007 CBR600RR launches a blistering assault on road and track with a breathtaking new, aerodynamically designed race-ready form; a smaller, lighter and more powerful new 600cc Dual Sequential Fuel Injected inline-4 engine; a slimmer and lighter weight new Fine Die-Cast aluminium frame; 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.
Stamped with the genetic imprint of its proud RC211V racing lineage, the new CBR600RR’s ‘True to Function’ concept now sets the stage for another historic reign of CBR world domination with a stronger power-to-weight ratio, brisker, more responsive handling and smoother, easier control that lets every rider feel in no uncertain terms that they too can be The Fastest on the Track… and the Fastest Everywhere.

• New magnesium head cover, nutless connecting rods, single exhaust valve springs, neodium ACG magnet and smaller, lighter clutch all contribute to engine’s lighter weight.
• New ram air system combines with improvements to intake and exhaust ports and PGM-DSFI (Programmed Dual Sequential Fuel Injection) system programming for maximised performance, stronger torque and sharper, smoother response.
• New IACV( Idle Air Control Valve) minimises torque reaction during small changes in throttle operation.
• New molybdenum-impregnated piston skirts and thinner oil rings reduce friction for quicker-revving performance.
• New computerised knock sensor system maintains optimal spark advance while automatically eliminating detonation.
• Lighter-weight stainless steel exhaust system features new electronically controlled in-line exhaust valve.
• New low-lash transmission combines with engine’s reduced torque reaction to greatly smooth transitions between acceleration and deceleration.

New Handling Features
• Newly designed Fine Die-Cast aluminium frame made with fewer moulded sections for significantly lighter and slimmer design.
• Smaller engine size contributes to enhanced mass centralisation, shorter wheelbase, longer swingarm and forward extension of the steering head relative to the engine’s crankshaft for smoother, more responsive handling on street and track.
• Major reductions in mass at the machine’s front and rear extremities results in significant improvements in handling response and cornering control.
• Fully adjustable 41mm inverted HMAS cartridge-type front fork fitted with powerful radial-mount disc brakes.
• Longer lightweight Unit-Pro-Link swingarm incorporates entire suspension system into its design, isolating frame and steering from rear wheel stresses.
• Lightweight wheels feature compact hubs for reduced unsprung weight.
