Honda CBR600RR
Best of the Rest
|
|
Honda’s CBR600 is the archetypal 600cc sportsbike. Since it first appeared in 1987, it has epitomised the middleweight supersports category, although with a typically Honda twist. Its specification doesn’t surprise or astound in any way. Indeed, it could almost be described as a bit dull – an inline-four engine with16-valves, fuel injection and double overhead cams lives in a cast aluminum twin-spar frame, with fully adjustable upside-down front forks and rear monoshock.
But it’s the way Honda has refined this rather vanilla design to the point of perfection that makes it so good. The latest 2007 version of the bike is incredibly light – at 155kg dry mass, it’s by far the lightest machine in the 600cc class, giving it an extra edge in performance and handling. That edge makes it a winner on the racetrack too: the CBR600RR has won the last six World Supersport championships – that’s every year since the RR version was launched. An incredible record for an incredible machine – and one that you can buy for around £7,000.
