HONDA CBR600RR (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CBR600RR, a MotoGp-derived machine that didn't receive any changes except for new colors, such as Pearl Orange with Black and Leyla, while the ABS version was available only in a Red With Black livery.

The bike featured a lightweight and compact chassis and a powerplant that provided impeccable power delivery, which made the 2010 model set new standards for the middleweight class. Also, the bike retained the same specifications brought upon the 2009 model, including changes to the engine and exhaust system and minor improvements to the mid-fairing.

The upgraded engine included changes to the pistons, cylinder head, a new high resistance valve lifter, a popup valve system, and changes to the exhaust system that increased torque delivery between 8000-12,000 rpm.

In the performance department, the 2010 Honda CBR600RR took its thrust from a compact 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 118 hp with maximum strength at 13,500 rpm and 66 Nm (48 lb-ft) of torque available at 11,250 rpm.

For suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm adjustable inverted Big Piston Fork (BPF) on the front and a Unit Pro-Link HMAS adjustable single shock absorber on the rear.

As for braking performance, the bike featured two 310 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the front wheel.
