It's back.... CBR600RR

[KungFooBob]

A new CBR600RR...



They stopped importing them to Europe a few years ago, although they kept making the old one for the US market.

But this looks to be a whole new bike... or at least new wheels and top fairing.

All that effort, and not a simple shot of what it looks like ???

[KungFooBob]

It's a teaser.

The bike isn't due until 2021, it's probably not finished yet.

[KungFooBob]

actually, more crap than news have got a proper picture....



Looks a lot like the last one, but with different wheels and fairing.

I thought the arse had fallen out of the supersports 600 market?

WEll it looks exactly how i'd expect and you can bet your arse it will ride exactly how you'd expect.

It's clearly a no from me... but from Mrs Weeksy, you never know, it's probably a yes...

First thing it needs is all the right electronics, which basically means NOT the ones from the Fireblade

I think the arse has fallen out of the superbike market and maybe they're trying to tempt people back to race reps by offering something a little bit more realistic than 250bhp missiles that seem to have little purpose these days?

The sub-400cc market seems to be reviving a bit and maybe more affordable 600's will sell better than £20k+ superbikes?

Who drops £20k+ on these bikes? That's a tonne of money for little purpose

S'only same as some folk pay for a posh watch.

A pal here has a V4 Panegale. And other pal is selling his V2 yo buy the V4.

It's still going to need a gazillion revs to move. A nice light bike that has a litre engine that produces say 130-140 bhp with loads of grunt in the midrange would be far more practical. But the road testers would savage it for being "underpowered" and it wouldn't sell.

I haven't seen a supersport 600 on the road in ages.

Jumped the gun, seems it's not Europe bound after all!
