2024 Honda CBR600RR

Honda’s middleweight supersport jewel returns to Europe, destined for road and track action. Loaded with cutting-edge MotoGP-inspired electronics and aerodynamics, the new 24YM CBR600RR is a rare, beautiful thing – a free-revving four-cylinder motorcycling gem that exists in a class of one. Born ready to carve an elegant line on the open road or closed circuit, there’s no other riding experience quite like it. Its inline four-cylinder, 16V DOHC engine produces 89kW @ 14,250rpm and features an assist/slipper clutch and standard fit quickshifter. Throttle By Wire control – derived from the RC213V-S – along with addition of a Bosch 6-axis IMU delivers 3 default riding modes, plus two custom User modes for adjustment of Engine Power, Engine Braking, Wheelie Control and 9-level HSTC. Cornering ABS and Rear Lift Control are also part of the package.

Designed to deliver best-in-class aerodynamic performance

The chassis comprises an aluminium twin-spar frame, aluminium swingarm, Honda Electronic Steering Damper, 41mm Showa Big Piston USD forks and Unit Pro-Link. Showa rear shock. Dual, radial-mount four-piston front calipers work 310mm floating discs. The aggressive styling includes downforce-generating front winglets. The full colour TFT screen includes Street, Circuit and Mechanic modes. A Shift Up indicator and lap timer are also featured. Honda’s Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) and Honda Ignition Security System (HISS) are included in the specification. An HRC Race Kit will also be an option, for circuit use only.
