2007 Honda CBR600RR all new!!

[gav]

So they say. Looks just like the new CBR1000RR, now theres a suprise! Claimed 155kg and 125hp. Actually in the red and black model it looks like a RC51 type air induction setup, the blue version is to lure Suzuki owners who walk into the wrong shop......

[Coyote]

I effing love the look the of VTR-SP. And that looks excellent too. I'd tap dat shit

[MD]

Very pretty. But, holy shit how many years is it going to take Honda to use up their surplus of those enormous butt ugly, made in 1983, indicators. Surely they can split them and sell the two halves as kayaks or fish ponds for jappo gardens?
They are so last century.

[texmo]

Looks pretty shit to me...

[oldguy]

I like emmm, very nice at first glance it looked like an R6

[boomer]

Looks pretty shit to me...

good job your a slow poke on a 2fiddy then :innocent:

[Korea]

This looks like it might actually be the real thing, eh?
Got a link to some more info?
It looks a bit more radical - to keep up with the new offerings from Yamaha and Suzuki. Especially after all the whinging journalists wrote it off for not changing along with the 600s this year.
Wonder if they went with much-rumoured slipper-clutch?

[limbimtimwim]

Wonder if they went with much-rumoured slipper-clutch?You'd bloody well hope so. Not having one seems backward considering my 1995 Honda RVF has one, and the VFR400 before that had one too. :no: :no:

Especially considering the 05 Blade indicators are half the size.

Try pulling your head out your arse and take another look.......;)

[limbimtimwim]

It doesn't look shit. But it does look likey the crossed a K6 GSXR600/750 (Holes in the fairings) with a '06 R6 (Headlights, ram air) and stuck an underseat pipe on it.

I remember thinking the R6 looked a bit crap in pictures, but in the metal looks cool.

So we'll have to reserve judgement on shitness till it actually appears.

And hopefully, maybe by then, it'll corner like the gixxer :)

no im not.

[Joni]

I seriously would not say no if I was offered one... damn good looking IMO. :sunny:

[Postie]

All japs bikes are ugly. Period.

Doesn't it, I love the red n black colour scheme.

[WRT]

I'm a bit inclined to agree with Texmo - the new look doesnt do much for me either. The fairing looks like they have tried to copy the R6, without much success, and the headlights have got that thin, low mounted look like the new 1200 Ducati design - which is the bit of it I dont like. As for the colour scheme, it looks like something a boi-racer would have come up with to be honest. A bit too "the fast and the furious" for my liking. Also agree with LBTW, will reserve full judgement till seeing one in the flesh.

[Postie]

personally I don't like it. The front looks like its from the CBR125, it looks like it has a beak. Although I do like the graphics on the blue one.

now this is a damn good looking CBR

[Joni]

I love the red n black colour scheme.Now strangely enough I usually dont like a blue bike... but if I was chosing I would go blue... altho it would be killer in black....

Excuse my ignorance Gav, but are they in NZ or when are they planned to be released?

[The_Dover]

you can't put syrup on a turd and call it a pancake.

[Joni]

well thank you for that insightful input Dover :rolleyes:

[VasalineWarrior]

Hmmm im not sure about that one. It reminds me of the gixxer too much, and thats wrong :dodge: is it just me or are all new bike designs becoming a little too synthetic?

Maybe it'll grow on me. Saying that if you gave me one id still ride it

A silhouette of each Jap Sports bike at 50m and no-one could tell the difference anyway.

Looks like a cross between a Benelli and an R6 to me.

[Joni]

I reckon thats the way all Jap bikes are going and they are all getting some kind of generic look about them... with a little different pipe here or something else there... they generally do look the same, that either gets you going or not...

Everyone knows I am a Honda fan... and have faith in the technology behind their designs, so maybe Im biased towards the model...

[kickingzebra]

hmmm...
Looks kinda like a beak on the front end to me...
In saying that, still a good looking bike!

[Toast]

Where did this info come from? Please don't tell me MCN...155kg sounds tasty :)

[Fishy]

now this is a damn good looking CBR

Why yes, yes it is....

[Postie]

Why yes, yes it is....

thats muppet styles bro

[Fishy]

thats muppet styles bro

Elmo?, tickle me...go on just a little...

[limbimtimwim]

:laugh: :lol: :clap: :rofl: ......................... Gixxers don't do cornersIn my very limited experience, the current K6 750 corners better than a nearly current CBR600RR.

It is gixxer owners who have the problem :)

["D" FZ1]

It looks bloody old fashioned compared to the new R6 :yawn:

[inlinefour]

Your right in so so many ways limbimtimwim... :yes:

Hey if Dover gets a Honda there'll be more gixxers to go around. Just a thought :scooter:

[SuperDave]

Looks good but I reckon those curved blue decals ruin it. They should just have a flat panel of blue and silver at an angle, none of this wavey blue shit.

[zadok]

Another good writeup here:

[Zed]

New new new!!! I like it. All new engine, frame, swingarm, ali wheels, electronic steering damper, etc, etc, etc...everyone likes *new* don't they?

Twill be a force to be reckoned with on the track with the hugely claimed weight loss and increased power. Go Honda! :Punk:

Don't do that. I'll be up all night worrying.

MCNEWS.COM.AU have the full specs for those interested and heaps of pictures. In short, 8kg lighter, 118hp.. that's got to help. No mention of a slipper clutch though and from the dash shot it seems they again forgot to add a gear indicator (shame, shame)
Rear lights are all hung under the muffler which looks better than the rest.

[hXc]

What's all the plastic shit there for? I seriously, don't like it. Or any of the new gixxers. Fairings just don't do it for me at all. Half fairing is sweet and no fairing is sweeter. I just think it makes them all look the same. If that didn't say Honda on it, it could easily be a Yammie, Kwaka or Zook.

I just don't see the point.

[limbimtimwim]

Rear lights are all hung under the muffler which looks better than the rest.Actually, in the metal/plastic, the rear lights and 'plate holder are the worst looking part of the bike.

It does look like an R6 had sex with a GSXR and made the new CBR.

But it does look good, a black one will be good. Exposed coolant pipes on the side of the engine look.. Purposeful. Heat shield on the exhaust reminds me of my RVF.

But it isn't ugly. Have the only picture I took of it.

[hXc]

As the guys from mental malitia say: "Fairings are for homosexuals."

[Zed]

As the guys from mental malitia say: "Fairings are for homosexuals."Calling a fair percentage of KBers homos is a foolish thing to do young man! :lol:

[limbimtimwim]

Calling a fair percentage of KBers homos is a foolish thing to do young man! :lol:No it's not!

It's how you start a good natured biker orgy. Like the ones we all dream about.

You know the ones.

If the gold, sequined, flared lamé jumpsuit fits…

It's 'cos you're blind...

And why're we talking about looks when it's claimed to be 155kg? Which must be a weight loss of like, 10kg or something...now that's worth talking about. I can get off of my diet now :2thumbsup
