The 2011 Honda CBR600RR featured a nifty mix of sporty performance, great looks, and maneuverability and was one of the most popular middleweight sport bikes in the world that brought the best from all segments into a small, compact, and lightweight package that was able to do a lot more than speed on the track.
The bike remained unchanged from the 2010 model except for the new livery, such as Red with Black and Black paint schemes. Only the Black model was available with the Combined ABS (C-ABS) feature, which, unlike conventional ABS that offered a soft lever feel, the C-ABS provided a more responsive brake-lever feel.
The bike was available with a host of Honda Genuine Accessories, such as a color-matched passenger seat cowl, a U-lock, a CBR racing cycle cover that was only for indoor use, an outdoor cycle cover, a carbon fiber license plate frame, and a lot of other carbon fiber accents.
In the performance department, the 2011 Honda CBR600RR was powered by a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that featured a Dual Stage Fuel Injection (DSFI) system and delivered an output power of 118 hp at 13,500 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) of torque at 11,250 rpm.
Bolted to the engine, a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission spun the rear wheel through a chain drive to a top speed of 255 kph (159 mph).
As for braking performance, the motorcycle packed two 310 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 22 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel, which provided strong braking performance.
