not too bad, but i like the 06 better. It looks like a GSXR/R6/Honda. They should have done something more original.

 

You guys do realize that HONDA started that style front end with the rc 51...... right? Everybody keeps saying R6 R6!.... cmon... its more rc51 than r6.... It is a bit different, but everyone is making huge assumptions everywhere else as to how sh**! a bike it is after seeing a few pics... hahaha... you can tell riders and lookers by the reaction from the pics... cmon, its new stuff... its similar to the others but its also different. I just cant wait to test ride one... they should be naaaasty 120ish bhp... on a 600... jesus...

 

Bike looks sweet to me, im not sure what some of you guys were expecting from Honda.

Cant wait to book a test ride.

 

BHP= 120.....but that's about 104 at the wheel right? didn't the 06 have 115 BHP and 100 at the wheel?

 

theres an in depth article here

http://www.motorcycledaily.com/07sep...6_new600rr.htm

 

I wouldn't believe any power/weight figures yet. I also doubt seriously that it'll have 120 hp...not out of a 600. Overall I give it 8/10. The worst is that rediculous tail light on the mudflap.

 

After reading that article, I want one!!

 

The result was a claimed 20lb reduction in dry weight over the 2006 model, from 361 lbs to 341 lbs.

While the new engine is smaller and lighter than it's predecessor, it also offers increased performance, to the tune of a claimed 118hp (at the flywheel) at 13,500rpm

The reflexes of the new bike are sharpened by its 22mm (0.86") shorter wheelbase

Honda Electronic Steering Damper



The smaller, sharper-edged new front upper fairing is dominated by the large central ram-air duct (which feeds the airbox through an opening in the steering head section of the frame), and is seperated from the sides of the fairing by a large gap

The new three-spoke cast aluminum wheels are also lighter than those on the '06 bike

HERES THE RC51 NOSE, JUST SO NO ONE GETS THE 600RR NOSE CONFUSED WITH THE R6

I'm actually starting to like it more

 

It still looks more like an R6 in the front than an RC51...way more but the front still looks good. Hate the tach...looks like it came off a Honda Element or something with big *** numbers. If the hp at the crank is 118 approx, that should be like 105-110 at the wheel - not much of an improvement.
The HESD is a nice add on, but not needed on a 600. I would've rather seen a hydra clutch or a slipper instead...a cable clutch for 2007? Come on.
