Cruel fate for a 600 sport these days. Barely time to do 2 laps and her replacement unbolts her in the closet bluntly. Thus, the new CBR 600 is not tender with the one it replaces, playing with mimicry to appropriate its glory. Aesthetically, the CBR 97 looks a lot like the previous one. No risk of change of scenery but a pleasant surprise from the rear. The bottom is of a very pleasant design, with curved, elegant shapes, and a nicely integrated rear light. The full fairing has hardly changed, the modifications being mainly on the technical level..
With a higher seat which puts the pilot a little more on the front, the CBR announces more sport. The engine too. With an increase in power of 5 hp (105 now), a modified air intake, improved mapping and a few small tweaks, the boiler does not wait for the competition to catch up with it. It must be said that the recent Kawasaki ZX-6R and Suzuki GSX-R 600 are sticking out badly. The braking has also been retouched and, small note racing, the tachometer adopts a white background of the most beautiful effect..
With the work done on the gearbox, the selection has really gained smoothness and precision. What a pleasure to pass the reports. It will first be necessary to mount the mill in the towers to take advantage of the higher power advertised. No glaring differences in low revs – It does not begin to develop until around 4000 rpm. This is where, against all odds, the old CBR begins to gain the upper hand. The 97, it seems to be found in its gas mixtures. Then, arrived at 5000 trs, it finds its marks, regains the lost ground and makes the nick to the 95 which sees it moving away without being able to do anything. Assessment of the engine response: a little more trunk and liveliness for a more pleasant use, and more alert exits of turns.
The improved suspensions of the CBR 600 make it easier to feel the front end. More rigid, more stable, the bike moves less from the rear on hard braking. The discs and pads, of different design, show more bite and feeling. The increased efficiency of the CBR requires certain concessions, such as the rear damping a little less flexible on the roughness of the road.
Over the years, the CBR 600 has evolved towards more sportiness while preserving its road qualities. The news follows this trend and does not disappoint, except perhaps those who prefer to take a road with the appearance of sport; the old model might suit them better. But faced with the 600 Ninja, T-cat and GSX-R, we have to react. Especially since the Suzuki is formidable on the circuit.
