Honda will reveal a revamped CBR600RR this September with reworked brakes, upside-down forks and Blade-inspired styling.


Insiders who have already ridden the new bike reveal more in MCN, out on Wednesday June 23, 2004.
The brakes have radial calipers and smaller discs on the new model and the engine gets modified internals. Expect titanium valves, too.

Sweet, that should mean the price of the 600RR comes down so I can buy one. Wonder if the look will change at all.

Well the current model won the national 600 championship last year so I can't see them taking a backward step.

They are dominating in supersport aswell, so I wonder how much more this will help.

My Guzzi's got electric startin' and radial cylinders. I had the forks upside down once but it got too heavy to hold the bike that way up so I had to put it back. Tyres lasted better though...

Apparently the factory were thinking of bringing out a new model (once) but they found out she used to be called Miguel so they couldn't use her...
