Description
Honda CBR600RR
Born on the Racetrack
The Honda CBR600RR is a true supersport motorcycle, developed for riders who demand precision, performance and complete control.
Powered by a high-revving 599cc DOHC inline-four engine, the CBR600RR combines serious performance with a lightweight, compact chassis and advanced electronic rider technology derived from Honda's racing programme.
From its RC213V-inspired aerodynamics and winglets to its Showa Big Piston Fork, quickshifter, selectable riding modes and cornering ABS, every part of the CBR600RR has been developed with one goal in mind – performance.
Take it to the track or enjoy one of Honda's most focused road bikes on your favourite weekend roads.
High-Revving 599cc Inline-Four
At the heart of the CBR600RR is a compact 599cc liquid-cooled DOHC 16-valve inline-four engine.
Producing 89kW of maximum power and 63Nm of torque, the engine is built to rev and rewards riders who want the unmistakable performance and sound of a Honda four-cylinder supersport.
Honda has optimised the camshaft, valve springs, crankshaft, cylinder head ports, throttle bodies and valve timing to deliver strong high-rpm performance while maintaining precise control.
Throttle By Wire
Electronic Throttle By Wire allows the CBR600RR's engine response to be precisely controlled while enabling its advanced electronic rider aids.
Rather than being limited to one fixed setup, you can tailor the bike's performance to suit your riding style, road conditions or a day at the track.
Selectable Riding Modes
The CBR600RR gives you the ability to change its character through selectable riding modes.
Preset modes provide different combinations of power delivery, engine braking, traction control and wheelie control.
Customisable User modes allow experienced riders to create their own setup and save their preferred settings.
Whether you're riding on the road or chasing lap times, you can set the CBR600RR up to suit you.
Honda Selectable Torque Control
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) monitors rear-wheel traction under acceleration.
If the system detects excessive rear-wheel slip, it adjusts engine torque to help maintain traction and stability.
Multiple levels of intervention allow you to choose how much electronic assistance you want.
6-Axis IMU
A sophisticated 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) continuously monitors the CBR600RR's movement.
This information is used by systems including HSTC, wheelie control and cornering ABS, allowing the electronics to respond according to what the motorcycle is actually doing.
It's technology designed to give the rider greater control without taking away from the experience.
Quickshifter as Standard
A quickshifter comes standard, allowing fast gear changes without needing to operate the clutch lever during normal up and down shifts.
Combined with the close-ratio 6-speed manual gearbox, it delivers the fast, direct gear changes you'd expect from a serious supersport machine.
Assist Slipper Clutch
The CBR600RR features an assist slipper clutch designed to reduce rear-wheel hop during aggressive downshifts.
It also helps reduce clutch lever operating effort, making the bike easier to manage whether you're on the road or pushing hard on the track.
RC213V-Inspired Aerodynamics
The CBR600RR takes aerodynamic inspiration directly from Honda's racing programme.
Its aggressively styled full fairing has been developed to manage airflow efficiently while providing the unmistakable appearance of a Honda supersport.
Integrated winglets help generate downforce at speed, contributing to stability under acceleration and during high-speed riding.
Form follows function – and the result looks every bit as serious as it performs.
Showa Big Piston Fork
A fully adjustable 41mm Showa Big Piston Front Fork provides excellent rigidity and precise front-end feedback.
With 120mm of front wheel travel, the suspension can be adjusted to suit rider preference and riding conditions.
At the rear, a fully adjustable Showa shock works through Honda's Pro-Link system, providing 128mm of wheel travel.
Together they give the CBR600RR the control and feedback required for precise supersport handling.
Supersport Handling
The CBR600RR's compact dimensions, lightweight construction and carefully balanced chassis are designed to provide quick, accurate handling.
At just 194kg kerb weight, the CBR600RR feels agile changing direction while remaining stable when speeds increase.
A lightweight swingarm helps reduce unsprung mass and has been engineered to provide the rigidity balance needed for excellent rear-wheel feel.
Serious Braking Performance
Dual 310mm floating front discs are paired with radial-mount four-piston calipers, delivering strong braking performance and excellent feel.
A 220mm rear disc provides additional control.
The system is backed by advanced cornering ABS, which works with the IMU to account for the motorcycle's lean angle and movement under braking.
TFT Colour Display
A full-colour TFT instrument display puts important information clearly in front of the rider.
Information includes:
-
Digital speedometer
-
Tachometer
-
Gear position
-
Riding mode
-
Trip information
-
Fuel consumption
-
Electronic rider aid settings
The display gives the CBR600RR a modern cockpit while making its extensive electronic settings easy to access.
Full LED Lighting
Compact dual-lens LED headlights provide excellent illumination while contributing to the CBR600RR's aggressive front-end design.
LED indicators and an LED tail light complete the package.
Signature Underseat Exhaust
The CBR600RR retains one of its most recognisable features – the centrally mounted underseat exhaust.
Designed for performance as well as appearance, the exhaust system contributes to the bike's compact packaging while maintaining the unmistakable look of the CBR600RR.
And paired with that high-revving inline-four, it delivers the sound you'd expect from a proper Honda supersport.
