I'm not a huge fan of the front end...

BUT my main complaint is the exhaust!!! Look at how big the muffler is!!!!!! (check out the pic of the underside!!) And what's up with the brake light mounted UNDER the exhaust now?? Can you say "aftermarket nightmare"?

Still looks good though!

BHP = British Horse Power
RWHP = HP at the wheel(s) on a dyno
HP = same as BHP

I've been stewing over the new '07 all day, obviously from my other posts, and the more I think about it the more disgusted I am. I believe Honda completely copied the front from the R6 and the fairings from gixxers, as someone said above ^ in an effort to try to sway potential yami and gixxer buyers onto the Honda, which I can't blame them, but seriously, come up with new ideas. To top it all off they're still using the heinous turn signals since 1985 or whenever...point is a long time. Tail light on the mud flap? Whomever came up with that idea should be beaten. I can see it for track days just removing it, but even most track guys ride it on the street and don't want a gay light hanging down. I'm sure it's wired so that even removing it for track days would be a pain.
All in all, I'm sure it's a fine machine and still sweet, but I won't be buying one. I had better get a 1000 RR next year before they ruin that. end rant.

 

Everyone is banging on that front end and the whole they copied and not original thing. Its a race developed front end. Its probably the most arrow dynamic front end out there. Honda just like anyone else who designs a new vehicle will buy all the competitions bikes and see what makes this better here and there. The front end was taken from the R6 RC51 and im sure had some help from the RC211v. Honda was just slow geting a new design out. Everyone else made a big change a lil while ago and now honda makes a change. Main thing is HP is up wieght is down. Nobody has seen it race or has put it to the test. So dont give up all hope. It may get out there and put the rest to shame.

I can see how the 07RR has two little points at the top and so does the R6 but I think you guys are lookin more at the headlights and the fact that there is a whole in the center of all three bikes.

Given the RR has had those same headlights for years.

Looks like they were trying to save a little bit of weight by taking off the 2 airvents under the front fairing and making it one in the center.

 

Here's some high resolution images for you picture collectors out there...be advised...they are HUGE!!!

 

Does the 07' have more hp? how the 1k? and pics on those

 

by the way the color sheme i like! but still...im in love with black..lol..but the white and the blue nice touch

 

man my black 06 looks 10X better! screw the 5 HP.

CBGXR600RR is what they should have called it!

 

Yeah my black 03 is dope....very nice.....but it seems that the 07cbr are clones of the J4's....that sux...........Honda could of came up with better ideas then that.....

 

If it kicks *** and lets us brag about how hondas are killing the yamis and suzukis for the 07 ama races then who cares what it looks like, but IMO i think the 03-06 RRs are the best looking bikes out there
