The Honda CBR600RR sports bike model appeared in 2003 as a successor to the Honda CBR600F4i in the image of the racing version of the RC211V. Unlike the F4i, the new CBR600RR model received sportier performance and ergonomics, and also brought together all the cutting-edge Honda racing technologies at that time: a new frame and swingarm, new suspensions, dual-throttle fuel injection (Dual Stage Fuel Injection - DSFI), updated brakes, etc.
In 2005, the Honda CBR600RR model undergoes a slight restyling, receiving a new version of the frame, swingarm and rear suspension. The front fork becomes a little thinner, but instead of the usual one, it becomes inverted. Instead of the usual front calipers, the bike gets radial. The curb weight is reduced by 10 kg.
In 2007, Honda introduced the next version of the CBR600RR. The new generation received an updated look, an electronic steering damper and a new engine. The frame has become lighter and more compact, and the wheelbase has been shortened by more than 2 cm. The maximum power is increased to 118 hp, the engine slightly increases the maximum speed.
In 2009, Honda was one of the first on the market to offer the sporty Honda CBR600RR with a combined braking system with ABS. The settings of this system have been optimized for racing and track use, allowing ABS to intervene as late as possible. In the same year, the model receives a slightly modified engine (the changes affected the pistons, cylinder head and exhaust system), due to which the maximum power increases to 120 hp.
In 2013, the model undergoes changes again, receiving a new look, different settings for the control unit, new lightweight 12-spoke wheels and a new Showa Big Piston front fork.
In August 2020, Honda introduced the new generation CBR600RR. In addition to the updated appearance, the model received minor improvements to the engine and exhaust system. However, the most significant was the new electronic equipment of the motorcycle - electronic throttle (Ride-by-Wire), color TFT dashboard, HSTC (Honda Selectable Torque Control) traction control system, 5-level Riding Modes, Power Selector, Wheelie Control, Rear wheel slip control. Quickshifter (down/up) became available as an option.
