The Honda CBR600RR is a 599 cc (36.6 cu in) sport bike, part of the CBR series that was introduced by Honda in 2003 as a race replica version of Honda's CBR600F series. It won every Supersport World Championship title from 2002 to 2008, and again in 2010 and 2014.
The CBR600RR was introduced in 2003 as race replica alternative to Honda's more street oriented 600-class sport bike, the CBR600F4i. It was based on technologies used in the Honda RC211V MotoGP bike, and was given a similar appearance. It was the first Honda to use Unit Pro-Link rear suspension and Dual Stage Fuel Injection (PGM-DSFI), both were taken directly from Honda's MotoGP bike. Honda said the use of its new 'Hollow Fine Die Cast' frame technology, in which sand casting molds were given a ceramic interior coating, made it possible to reduce the five-piece aluminum frame thickness from 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm.
The 2003 model carried over to 2004 technically unchanged, with only the addition of an oxygen sensor.
In 2005, the CBR600RR received a major revision with new bodywork, fully adjustable inverted front forks, disc brakes with radial-mounted four-piston calipers, and a new aluminium frame, swingarm and rear shock. The midrange power was also increased. These changes along with additional refinements to the engine and exhaust system brought CBR600RR's wet weight down by 10.0 kg (22 lb), and dry weight by 4.1 kg (9 lb) The 2006 model was unchanged from the 2005 model.
