The Honda CBR600RR was a sports bike part of the CBR series in Honda's range of motorcycles, manufactured in 2003 and marketed as Honda's top-of-the-line middleweight sports machine.
In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CBR600RR, a sports machine that benefitted from the major revision brought upon the 2009 model, which carried over to 2012 without any changes whatsoever.
Besides the Combined ABS that became available as an option for the CBR600RA model, the CBR600RR benefitted from changes that included updates to the engine, such as the pistons, cylinder head, and exhaust system that increased torque and power delivery.
The looks were the same as its predecessor, apart from some extra moldings added to the mid-section fairing that enhanced stability, while noise emissions were lowered by totally enclosing the clutch and gearbox.
Although the changes involved some additional materials, the weight of the bike remained unchanged from the 2008 model due to weight savings in the engine, exhaust, and chassis departments.
In the performance department, the 2012 Honda CBR600RR had its soul brought to life by a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinders liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronic fuel injection system that helped deliver an output power of 118 hp at 13,500 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) of torque at 11,250 rpm.
