2024 Honda CBR600RR

Honda’s CBR600RR Supersport machine has won more races and championships around the world than most can remember. This machine has existed in one form or another since the early 1990s.

Although the days of traditional 599cc Supersports seem to be numbered, the CBR600RR hangs on for another year. The RR last received significant updates for the 2021 model year. The payoff for sportbike enthusiasts is a no-compromise, high-revving inline-four that screams its way to a claimed 121 hp at a sky-high 14,000 rpm. Peak torque is 47.2 lb.-ft. at 11,500 rpm.

To truly be called a Supersport, the chassis needs to live up to the billing. The RR has an inverted 41mm Showa Big Piston Fork that is fully adjustable with preload, rebound, and compression damping at the front. At the rear is Honda’s Unit Pro-Link suspension with monoshock that is fully adjustable with preload, rebound, and compression damping. Radial-mount four-piston Tokico calipers squeeze a pair of 310mm brake discs in the front, while a single-piston caliper and 220mm disc are used at the rear.

A short 53.9-inch wheelbase, 23.5-degree rake angle and 3.9-inch trail measurement combine to generate razor-sharp handling on the street or track.

The CBR600RR also comes with a suite of electronic rider aids that are enabled by its ride-by-wire throttle and six-axis IMU. Features include Honda Selectable Torque Control, wheelie mitigation control, and adjustable engine-braking.

Two versions of the 2024 CBR600RR are available including the $12,199 base model in Grand Prix Red, or the ABS version for $13,199 in the same single color.
