HONDACBR600RR 2006 - 2007

　　The 2007 Honda CBR600RR was the civilian version of the MotoGP racing machine and featured a host of track-derived technologies. Besides that, the 2007 model came with a bunch of changes and redesigns, such as a new engine, frame, and bodywork that resulted in a smaller, lighter, and more powerful machine.

　　Honda's primary focus of the redesign was weight, which was reflected in the 2007 model as a 9.1 kg (20 lbs) weight loss compared with the previous model. The engineers started with the engine, carefully positioning the internal components for a more compact engine design that resulted in a two kg (4.4 lbs) weight loss.

　　The frame was lighter and more compact than its predecessor's, with a 22 mm shorter wheelbase and a five mm longer swingarm, which was made possible due to the more compact dimensions of the bike's new engine.

　　Carried almost unchanged from the 2006 model, the suspension featured the same 41 mm inverted fork on the front and the Unit Pro-Link rear configuration, while the three-spoke cast aluminum wheels were lighter than its predecessor's, which enhanced the suspension performance.

　　In the power department, the 2007 Honda CBR600RR had at its core a more 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 (49 lb-ft) of torque available at 11,250 rpm.
