Some bikes are so expertly designed, they become an extension of the rider.The Honda CBR600RR is that machine. It's the perfect bike to use as a weekday commuter, a weekend canyon bike and of course, cutting laps on the track.There are a lot of reasons it's so good at so much. Starting with its size. Compact, light, a tribute to Honda's understanding of mass centralization, the four-cylinder engine revs like nothing you've ever ridden, unless you've ridden a MotoGP racer. The chassis (an aluminum twin-spar design) is the basis of the CBR600RR's laser-sharp handling. Brakes? You can choose between its conventional triple-disc setup or opt for a special version with Honda's revolutionary Combined Anti-Lock Braking System (C-ABS), the first ever on a production Supersport motorcycle.No matter if it's on the track or the street, the 2017 CBR600RR is a winner. Without a doubt, the definitive 600cc Supersport.
Superbikes are special machines, offering levels of power, handling, and refinement no other streetbikes can match. And for 2017, there are two new Superbikes that are even more of a standout: The all-new Honda CBR1000RR SP and CBR1000RR SP2.The CBR1000RR SP has been completely redesigned and given some serious performance upgrades. This limited-edition machine is fully street legal, but it's really at home on a track day. Compact, slim, and light, it's also the first CBR we've offered with throttle-by-wire technology, and that makes a whole realm of engine performance choices available.Before you even start it up, you'll notice how light and narrow the new CBR1000RR SP is. It's more aerodynamic, too. The engine is all new, with a 13:1 compression ratio, new pistons and new cams. A titanium cam cover, ignition cover and sump make it super light. The SP's titanium muffler shaves pounds. Power is up from last year's CBR1000RR SP as well—by a lot.
