FEATURES & BENEFITS


New for 2007

Class-leading power-to-weight ratio for outstanding acceleration and handling.
Smaller, lighter, more compact inline four-cylinder engine.
Improved midrange performance and enhanced peak power.
Significant weight reduction in engine and chassis.
Repositioned transmission shafts within crankcase allow for shorter engine.
New lightweight, forged-aluminum pistons incorporate special shot peening for added toughness.
Lightweight magnesium head cover.
New, single exhaust valve-springs.
Smaller, lighter neodium magnet ACG.
New transmission gear ratios.
Smaller, lighter clutch.
New front-brake vertical-piston master-cylinder system.
Lighter weight stainless steel four-into-one exhaust features new inline-exhaust valve to control exhaust pressure for maximum performance.
New intake-air control valve (IACV) minimizes torque reaction and smoothes response to small throttle changes through gradual reductions of air and fuel intake when the throttle is opened and closed.
New non-resonance knock sensor maintains optimum spark advance while constantly monitoring combustion performance during mid- to high-speed operation.
New nose-mounted ram-air induction directs fresh, cool air to a higher-volume airbox.
New smaller and lighter Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD).
Newly designed Fine Die-Cast (FDC) frame uses four large castings for lighter weight.
Improved mass centralization.
Redesigned radiator with compact dimensions improves cooling capacity.
All-new bodywork enhances handling and performance.
Handlebars raised 10mm for improved rider comfort.
Center of gravity revised for more neutral response and easier side-to-side flickability.
New, compact instrument design.
Exciting new colors--Pearl White/Silver and Ultra Blue Metallic/Silver--join Red/Black and Black as color options.
Unique Features

Unit Pro-Link(TM) rear suspension and swingarm design inspired by RC211V(R).
Dual Stage Fuel Injection (DSFI) system features two injectors per cylinder.
High-revving engine redlines at 15,000 rpm.
MotoGP-style RC211V center-up exhaust system.
Radial-mount front brake calipers combined with radial actuated master cylinder.
41mm Honda Multi-Action System (HMAS) inverted front fork.
Centrally located fuel tank increases mass centralization and allows more compact frame design.
Line beam headlights feature three-piece reflector design.


Engine/Drivetrain

Liquid-cooled DOHC 16-valve 599cc four-stroke inline four-cylinder engine features oversquare bore and stroke of 67mm x 42.5mm.
Intake port surface treatment revised for improved efficiency.
Oil jet relocated beneath piston for additional friction reduction and cooling.
Iridium-tip spark plugs improve fuel combustion and performance.
DSFI system features 40mm throttle bodies and two injectors per cylinder--one upper and one lower--controlled by an electronic control system (ECU) that senses rpm and throttle opening. Lower injector enhances rideability while upper injector improves top-end horsepower.
Denso 12 hole injectors deliver finely atomized fuel mixture for optimum combustion efficiency and power.
Auto enrichment system is integrated into programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) module, eliminating the need for a manual choke.
Two-stage ram-air system provides high volume of cool air to the airbox for linear power delivery and incredible engine performance.
Cylinder head features angled valve insets to improve airflow.
Cylinder head features two springs per intake valve and one spring per exhaust valve for optimum high-rpm valve operation and durability.
Direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation ensures high-rpm performance and durability with 16,000-mile maintenance intervals.

You can look at the full gallery at honda.com. Personally I think it is ugly. If I wanted a gixxer, I would have bought a gixxer!!!

 

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH HONDA BLAH BLAH HONDA BLAH HONDA HONDA BLAH BLAH BLAH

120rwhp, more compact engine, lighter, faster turn in... who the **** cares what it looks like... it's CBR, not a GSXR. You want a honda, and you'll buy a honda. The GSXR600 has some catching up to do now. test rider said that it's a screamer comapred to his 06 track bike, and this thing is STOCK.

 

I agree, its FUGLY, but if technically it's THAT much superior to the previous one, kudos to honda, just spend some aditional $ in making it look the way you want.

As for me, I'm extremley happy with my 06 600RR :-)

 

umm yea there is a post like this already with like a GAGILION pics already.

Gixxer? It looks nothing like the cyclopse looking, ugly *** gixxers. It's "similar" to the new R6 if anything. I'm saving judgement until I see it in person. Sometimes, things just don't photograph well.


.......Oh, plus there is another thread (maybe even another 4 or 5) with the same topic. I would check them out.

 

I know this has been run into the ground lately, but havent you noticed it has been a bit boring around here lately as well. Anyways, drove my car tonight for the first time since I bought my bike, my car is slow. I used to think 12 second quarter was fast!

 

were the previous models slow?

 

What do you consider slow?
