Yes the new CBR600RR is that ugly

Popped to the dealer just to check and it's still ugly as sin in the flesh.

Saw it on the Honda website earlier, I quite like the look of it.

Because the link's broken?

It's like someone's hit the front of it with an axe!

The Repsol scheme is quite kind to it IMO.

Changed my mind, It's sexy as fuck.

Might pop into my local dealer tomorrow and take a snap of it.

I'm not trolling, honest. But that's the first Honda that I really, really want. Wouldn't it be great if I bagged a test ride? I'm going to ask.

[J.M.]

Nah, I followed the source of the image to view it. Looks much better in Repsol than that other colour scheme though.

I didn't like the SP1 when it first came out, now it's good looking. I reckon this'll be a grower.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I think it looks alright.

Still the 03 Model I think is the hottest of the CBR's.

Far better looking sport bikes non-honda though

07 onwards CBR in Ten Kate colours floats my boat. I'll see if I can get my local Honda dealer to let me out for a spin tomorrow. Riding position seems broadly similar to the outgoing CBR600RR. BPF on it, and new plastics. All else is as you were.

Stupidly low standard screen of course. Looks like it'll just turbo charge the windblast into your chest.

i'm probably the biggest 600rr whore on here and very much approve of this new model. Wasnt sure about the 07-12 models as i've never been a fan of the minimal bikini type fairings, so am glad they have gone back to the maximum plastic style .

The best view of this bike is from the side though

Even though the sides are mismatched?

There's a cover on the near side that covers the back of the generator/stator. Whilst on the offside the clutch cover is bare. I assume so you can fill it with oil more easily.

However as we know assymetrical bikes don't work. See the BMW S1000RR squint.

Looks great apart from the front end, just reminds me of a dated R6

At least it no longer looks like this guy head on:

Would rather have a 600rr over a gsxr 600 anyday
