Some bikes are all about the way they look. Some are all about the way theymake you feel. But Honda’s CBR600RR is all about performance. The CBR600RR has a grown up sophisticated design with a sinister race ready look because the bodywork features an aggressive styling with a very aerodynamic design inspired from the Honda RC211V MotoGP bike. Up front, the Honda CBR600RR has been fully loaded with a two-piece headlamp cluster, functional air vents between the headlights, front turn indicators cleverly integrated in the front fairing that covers the whole cowl area except the engine and a long wind screen that goes back to cover the dashboard of the bike. The dashboard of the machine is a fully digital LCD instrument panel (except the tachometer), which informs the rider about time, engine temperature, fuel level, distance covered, speed etc.
This powerhouse of a machine produces a peak power of 118 bhp and delivers a maximum torque of 66 nm with a six-speed gearbox that uses the power cleverly. The Honda CBR600RR comes with a large fuel tank that can house 18 litres of fuel. Highlighting the chassis is the fine frame made from Honda’s Fine Die-Cast (FDC) technology and the three-spoke alloy wheels give it a massive feel. The rear end of the Honda CBR600RR is also praiseworthy with the razor shaped tail and an under-seat exhaust system.
The highly advanced fully-adjustable suspension system and steering dampers ensure rigidity of chassis and makes your ride smooth even on bad roads. Braking is another area where the Honda excels, with the Combined- ABS system doing most of the work of shaving off high speeds be it in wet conditions, slippery surfaces or panic braking situations. The C-ABS system electronically distributes the braking between front and rear callipers to give maximum stability in all conditions. Overall, the bike is sleek, sporty and eye-catching from nose to tail, and has a bigger bike feel even though it’s meant to be a middleweight contender. The power delivery by CBR 600 RR is very linear, smooth and responsive all the way through the power curve. Not only is its stability in a straight line absolute, it feels very responsive and well planted when pushed hard through the corners as well.
