Honda CBR600RR Review
Overview
Expected Honda CBR600RR: The Comeback we have all been waiting for
The Honda CBR600RR was always one of those bikes that gave me goosebumps. So as a motorcycle, it is not just a motorcycle; it is an icon in the middleweight sportbike world. The whispers of its relaunch have caused my excitement to go through the roof now. An homage to my Sunday rides and nights spent at the CBR600RR for years now, I couldn’t help but wonder if Honda would stick to the recipe that helped make it legendary or if it was time to get a little crazy. Let’s talk about it.
This Is a Design All About Speed
But even when at rest, the CBR600RR has always looked fast. We’ve all seen the teasers, and trust me, Honda isn’t holding back. The aerodynamic, sharp lines make it look like a predator that’s about to strike. That's a twin LED headlamp that's aggressive and makes the bike look almost winking—too focused. And the full fairing? It's almost a work of art to cut a wind pen as they should.
The one thing I love, in fact, is how Honda blends style with function. For example, take the integrated winglets. And while it doesn’t just make the bike look cool, they also make sure the front wheel doesn’t leave the road during the push off the straights. To me, that’s classic Honda. They don’t just make bikes to win beauty contests; they make them perform.
Performance: Heart of a Champion
The real meat, performance, is what we're going to get into. The inline-four engine is practically legendary for the CBR600RR’s high revving. The new version should follow the old format and put out between 115 horsepower. Whether you find yourself stunt driving around the track or taking your mountain road, that’s more than enough to get your adrenaline pumping.
What I’ve always loved about the CBR600RR is the power balance with refinement. Just going fast is not all it’s cracked up to be. It’s about how you get there. Word is that Honda will also throw throttle by wire technology in this time around, which means buttery smooth throttle response. I’m hoping for the kind of experience where you accelerate out of a corner with pinpoint precision.
Handling That Assues Confidence
Honda have always been almost dead on the handling of the CBR600RR if there’s one thing they do. This bike is an extension of your body. Fully adjustable Showa suspension and the lightweight aluminium frame should ensure the new model is as sharp as ever. I see razor-sharp cornering, confident cornering, the planted feel you want on the track, the confidence that allows you to be able to push harder.
Here’s what has me really excited: They've got Honda's IMU tech likely in there, which will all work in the lean-sensitive traction control and ABS fashion to change the game. It’s a guardian angel, really, stepping in just when we really need it. That’s a huge plus if you are like me and love pushing the boundaries.
Rider Comfort: It’s More Than Just a Track Machine
Now, I’m not that bada you know sport bikes aren’t comfortable. Honda has managed the CBR600RR, always keeping an eye on the scale. I’ve ridden previous versions, and they’re sporty, but they don’t make you feel like you’ve just ripped through a full-body workout. I’m hoping Honda keeps it this way, because I’ve always been a fan of a slightly relaxed riding position.
Finally, I’m also keeping my fingers crossed for a modern TFT display. If you had all the info—gear position, lap times, you name it—at your fingertips. Add in smartphone connectivity and even possible GPS navigation, and you’ve got a bike that is fast and practical.
Pricing and Competition
That's where things start getting a little interesting. Honda will price the CBR600RR at around ?12–14 lakh (ex-showroom) in India if it decides to launch this bike. In that sense, it’s being pitched against the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R and Yamaha R7. It’s going to be tough competition, but I believe the CBR600RR has what it takes to be noticed. Raw numbers aren’t everything; it’s about the whole experience. After all, Honda would know how to deliver.
Who’s This Bike For?
The CBR600RR isn’t a bike for everyone, and that’s part of its charm. What you get is a bike fit for riders who love the idea of a track machine but need something they can live with on a daily basis. It’s for people who care about delivering just enough over the minimum viable product and made me a bike that felt alive under me. A seasoned rider looking for the next thrill or someone interested in moving up from a smaller bike, the CBR600RR has plenty for you.
My Take: A Legend Reborn
The Honda CBR600RR is history to me; in fact, for me, it’s more than just a bike. It gets my heart racing thinking about it coming back; it could even be better than ever. As one who previously owned and belonged to the F4 family, I had my reservations going to Ducs. But Honda’s attention to detail, from the design to the tech, lets me have the utmost confidence that this bike will be well worth the wait.
I think if the CBR600RR launches with the features and price that we are expecting, it is going to shake up the middleweight segment. So what about you? If the CBR600RR sounds like your kind of ride, or whether you are eyeing something else, this is the guide for you. I’d love to hear what you think, so let’s chat.

The 6-speed manual gearbox comes with a refined power delivery in each gear. The 600RR weighs only 196 kg, with 18.10 liters of fuel tank, filled to the top.
