More About The 2019 Honda CBR600RR, From Honda Marketing Materials:

Performance. Handling. Balance. Perfected.

Some bikes are all about the way they look. Some are all about the way they make you feel. But Honda’s CBR600RR is all about one thing: Performance.

And we’re not just talking about speed here—we’re talking about that elusive balance between power, handling, and braking, the holy trinity that wins races and that riders count on when there’s no room for error.

Using the same engineering lessons we’ve learned in MotoGP racing, this bike is a true reflection of Honda’s technical prowess. It’s light, compact, nimble and ideally-balanced, with a four-cylinder engine that revs like nothing you’ve ever ridden. The aluminum twin-spar designed chassis delivers laser-sharp handling.

Ride it on the street. Carve up your favorite canyon road. Book a whole calendar’s full of track days. With a Honda CBR600RR, you’re going to discover just how good a 600 Supersport can be.

Winning Heritage

With well over 700 total MotoGP victories, Honda’s winning heritage stands far above any other manufacturer, just as Honda’s motorcycles stand out on the street. Our superior engineering and technology put our GP bikes in the winners’ circle and give you the performance you need for the street.

Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD)

One of the keys to the CBR600RR’s extraordinary handling is the compact HESD. It helps maintain predictable high-speed handling and low-speed maneuverability so you can focus on riding.

Amazing Stopping Power

The CBR600RR’s Combined Anti-Lock Braking System (C-ABS) is the first of its kind on a Supersport machine, and it’s had the critics raving.

Innovation, Value, Versatility.

Looking for a new sportbike? These days, you have a lot of good machines to choose from. And a lot of them look pretty similar on paper, or if you’re comparing spec charts. But when you actually come down to ownership, there’s a world of difference. And a Honda starts looking better and better. Why? First there’s Honda’s famous engineering—better materials and better design that make your bike lighter, more powerful, and more fun to ride. Second, there’s Honda’s reputation for reliability, another byproduct of superior design and materials. And finally there’s Honda’s famous build quality. Taken together, they elevate your new Honda far above other similar machines.
