HONDACBR1000RR 2005 - 2006

　　In 2006, Honda introduced the CBR1000RR model, which shared racing elements with the MotoGP RC211V sports bike and came with several improvements in the power, handling, and weight departments compared to its previous sibling.

　　Some of the new improvements for 2006 were the new intake and exhaust ports, higher compression ratio, revised cam timing, a new exhaust system, revised front and rear suspension, a new lighter swingarm, and a higher redline.

　　In the braking department, the CBR1000RR came with 10 mm larger discs and five mm thinner on the front, resulting in a 300 g weight loss, and featured a smaller and lighter caliper on the rear wheel.

　　The bike featured a lightweight twin-spar aluminum frame designed with RC211V technology, a new lightweight aluminum subframe that was easily removable for easier maintenance, and the longest aluminum-hybrid rear swingarm in its class that offered better traction under hard acceleration.

　　For suspension, the bike packed a 43 mm adjustable HMAS inverted cartridge fork on the front and a Pro-link single shock absorber on the rear that featured spring preload, rebound, and compression adjustability.

　　In the power department, the 2006 Honda CBR1000RR had its heartbeat set by a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that featured many improvements and delivered an output power of 172 hp with a peak at 11,250 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,000 rpm.
