The stunning new 2009 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, this supremely compact and potent new machine allows an ever-wider range of riders to thrive and excel in the saddle. And for 2009, the exciting addition of optional electronically-controlled Combined ABS puts the CBR600RR right at the forefront of enhancing confidence in motorcycle safety.
The optional brand new electronically-controlled Combined ABS is a huge step forward in motorcycle ABS, which has not been seen before on such a high performance sports motorcycle and demonstrates Honda’s commitment to the continuous improvement of motorcycle confidence, while offering maximum choice to its customers. Now every rider can feel the pleasure of the Super Sport experience, even if they’re not an expert Super Sport rider.
Among the other changes for 2009 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.
For the CBR600RR’s 2009 update, the goal for Honda’s development team has once again been to enhance a machine capable of the fastest, most intense track riding, while also maintaining and augmenting its ability to deliver a controllable and naturally easy road-riding experience. The designers have once more held true to the three goals of “Lighter Weight for Ultimate Control”, “Ultimate Fun on Winding Roads” and “Fastest on Track, Fastest Everywhere”.
