2016 Honda CBR 600 RR

Menus

End clap for the CBR 600 RR. This legend of 600 sports, born almost with her in 1987, is living his last year of marketing. 30 years of evolution, competition, moments of glory, and a back door exit. The Supersport category suffers. Apart from competition, no one seems to believe in it in France. Dying sales, dormant development, non-existent communication … The CBR 600 is hiding at the bottom of the concessions. She’s not the only one. R6, ZX-6R, 600 GSX-R … They are all quietly waiting for better days. Saved by a fine reputation, the CBR however accuses the weight of years and a flagrant technological delay. ABS, now standard, weighs 5 times heavier than competitor’s on-board modules. No traction control or multiple injection maps. The last time Honda took care of her was in 2013. The CBR 600 celebrated its 25th anniversary that year, the 600 RR had appeared for a decade. The celebrations did not give the right to a total overhaul but to many changes which deserve to be dwelled on. In particular on the design, largely renewed and characteristic of a new spirit. No more complicated shapes, semi-lift style effects and plinth commas; make way for a very classic, enveloping skin, subtly inspired by the MotoGP RRS 213. One can remain on a mixed impression as for the rather placid evolution of the headlights and the central air intake … The style ensuring the function, Honda adopts here aerodynamic solutions borrowed from the 800 RCV 212. The result is a aerodynamic resistance down 6.5% compared to the old model when in normal driving position and 5% when lying down. What to grab small km / h, those which allow to pass in front in the middle of the straight line.

That’s good, because it is not on the engine side that you will have to look for more potato. The 4-cylinder 599 cm3 does not change its maximum performance one iota, namely 120 horsepower at 13,500 rpm and a torque of 66 Nm at 11,250 rpm. The manufacturer has prioritized engine responsiveness and ease of use. To do this, the CBR 600 offers a new injection map, an intake valve operating permanently and a revised forced air intake..

Can we blame the CBR 600 RR for being in pursuit of the R6, Daytona and ZX-6R in production version, instead of ahead of the troops? The Honda makes up for it in Supersport, where it can claim 6 world titles. Nevertheless, the pistarde wants to improve its part-cycle. This goes through 12-branch CBR 1000 RR type rims, an optimized rear shock absorber in terms of the valves and the treatment of the piston surfaces, and above all the grafting of the “BPF” fork from Showa. With its large pistons, this 41 mm inverted model benefits from a pressure surface 3.5 times greater than the previous fork. On heavy braking, the front is more stable and more progressive. Kawasaki and Suzuki have also adopted “Big Piston Front fork” type forks on all their trackers..

The CBR 600 RR continues to stand out with its in-house solutions such as the “Unit Pro-link” shock mount, the HESD electronic steering damper, the under-seat pot (all the other 600 Supersports have abandoned it) , and its antique dashboard that is neither glamorous nor high-tech, but simple and readable. This big facelift and the improvement of the chassis extend it as the centerpiece of the chessboard, without however giving it the means to become THE current benchmark sports car. The question will no longer arise for years to come. Or rather just one: goodbye or goodbye ?
