Latest Updates
Friday, 18 August 2023 04:40 AM

Honda recently revealed the latest version of their CBR600RR at the 2023 Suzuka 8 Hours race. This event is part of the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) Endurance World Championship and takes place at the Suzuka Circuit in Japan.

Tuesday, 12 November 2024 06:32 PM The 2024 Honda CBR600RR is making a comeback to the UK market after a significant absence, featuring a heavily updated design with aerodynamic winglets and advanced technology, including a six-axis IMU, nine levels of traction control, and five riding modes. This revival is part of a resurgence in the 600cc sports bike class. I think this update is a great move by Honda, bringing the CBR600RR back into the modern era.
Tuesday, 23 July 2024 05:49 PM Honda has announced that the updated 2024 CBR600RR will not be coming to the United States for the 2025 model year. Instead, the US market will see the same old model with only a new color scheme, lacking the modern upgrades seen in European models. This decision has disappointed many American riders who were hoping for the latest technology. I believe this is a missed opportunity for Honda to compete more effectively in the US market.
Wednesday, 08 November 2023 04:00 AM The 2024 Honda CBR600RR features significant technological advancements, including a digital TFT screen inherited from the 1000cc model and comprehensive rider-aiding electronics. The bike also comes in new color schemes, including a sleek black option. I think these updates make the CBR600RR a compelling choice for those looking for a modern 600cc sports bike.
Sunday, 30 July 2023 01:56 PM Despite the global updates, the 2025 Honda CBR600RR in the US will retain its outdated design and features from the 2013 model year, with only a new Deep Pearl Gray colorway. This lack of modernization puts the bike at a disadvantage compared to its competitors. I believe Honda needs to bring the updated European model to the US to stay competitive.
Saturday, 22 April 2023 07:37 AM The 2024 Honda CBR600RR has been revamped to meet Euro5+ emissions regulations, with changes including a new exhaust system, revised cam timings, and larger throttle bodies. The bike is designed with a strong focus on track use, featuring advanced electronics and aerodynamics. I think these changes will make the CBR600RR a favorite among track enthusiasts.

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.
