presentation of the CBR 600 RR 2003
What do I see? Is it possible? An RCV 211 at my dealer's... it's crazy! Almost. With its new CBR 600, Honda cuts through the compromises and clearly shows its colors: a pure pistarde, a true Replica with the sole ambition of imposing, dominating, as its inspiration did so well under the reign of Doctor 46. In addition to its highly successful design, a true twin to Rossi's MotoGP, the CBR also benefits from the transfer of HRC technology. Pro-link rear shock absorber mounted directly on the swingarm, dual injector manifolds, under-seat exhaust, mass re-centering, frame design... The manufacturer has done a hell of a job. Consternation! In the 600 sport class, it's the heaviest. And yet, it's so lively. As soon as you move on the bike, it reacts. The same goes for the slightest pressure on one of the half-handlebars. Don't be surprised, the CBR had already warned you. In addition to its looks, the riding position is now very Racing, with the body well forward. Even so, the suspension is relatively comfortable. For a 600, the engine doesn't do too badly at low revs. At the top end, in the power zone, it's hard work. The mini-RCV has become one of the most impressive machines in its segment.
In the twisty parts of a circuit, agility takes precedence, and the CBR is surprisingly agile.
