2013 Honda CBR600RRA
Better Than Ever...
With the 2013 Honda CBR600RRA, we’ve taken a bike that was equally at home on the street or on the track, and made it even better for both. How? By improving engine performance, handling and aerodynamics without changing its unique ability to be practical and comfortable during everyday riding. You can’t miss the CBR600RRA’s aggressive new bodywork that reduces drag by 6.5 percent – it was inspired by Honda’s RC213V MotoGP racer. A new Showa Big Piston fully adjustable fork and distinctive 12-spoke wheels from the CBR1000RRA combine with an upgraded aluminum frame and lighter aluminum swingarm to improve handling – especially under the heavy loads produced by cornering or hard braking. Revised settings in the Programmed Dual Stage Fuel Injection (PGM-DSFI) system improve engine performance below 7,000 rpm, while a carefully retuned air-intake system improves torque above 7,000 rpm. And for the best in braking performance, you can’t beat the CBR600RRA’s Electronically Controlled Combined ABS brake system that brings world-class stopping power and control to your fingertips. Perfection, improved. That’s the 2013 Honda CBR600RRA.
The lineage behind the CBR600RRA C-ABS boasts ongoing track-tested, championship-winning advancements in form and function that have kept this machine at the forefront of the 600cc Supersport class. This newly redesigned CBR600RRA C-ABS delivers stronger engine output for an elevated level of performance, a brand-new front suspension featuring Honda's 41mm Big Piston Fork for exceptional handling and supple action, plus all-new MotoGP-inspired bodywork that's a product of race-tested aerodynamic design. It all adds up to a sportbike that leads the way, whether it's at the track or just a fun afternoon ride on your favorite backroads.
Honda’s CBR600RRA C-ABS has long been heralded as the best all-around 600-class sportbike the world has ever seen. A winner both on and off the track, it offers a perfect balance of high-revving power, precise handling, light weight, and a compact overall size.
And for 2013 the best just got a whole lot better. We’ve given the CBR600RRA C-ABS some major updates, including new 12-spoke wheels, revised ECU settings, and a fine-tuned ram-air system to increase torque. Best of all, the CBR600RRA C-ABS gets a new “Big Piston” fork and retuned rear shock. And it’s all wrapped up in some sharp new bodywork. Honda’s revolutionary Electronic Combined Anti-Lock Braking System (C-ABS), the first ever on a production Supersport motorcycle.
New Suspension
The 2013 CBR600RRA C-ABS features new suspension front. Up front, the new 41mm “Big Piston” Showa fork is smoother and more responsive; in the back, the Unit Pro Link design provides a smoother response and better performance.
Hot Wheels
New for 2013, we've added 12-spoke aluminum cast wheels, which look great with the CBR60RR’s redesigned bodywork.
Tomorrow's Brakes, Today
The Electronic Combined ABS (C-ABS) system is the first of its kind on a Supersport machine. Even the most critical motorcycle testers rave about how well they work.

It has been suggested ( viewtopic.php?f=61&t=40774 ) that we have something up other than a cruiser, so here you go, the complete opposite of one!
And it offers a host of new changes for 2013.
Enjoy!

The fairing has lost some of its distinctiveness, but if it results in better aerodynamics, then it was worth it. Go Big Red!

Re: This week: 2013 Honda CBR600RRA: Vote Now
Given that I'm still licking my wounds after the thrashing the Boulevard took, I wanted to throw this a Fail and blast it for looking like every other 600cc sportbike I've ever seen. But then I took a deep breath, a big swig of coffee, and tucked in to take a longer look.
It didn't help much.
I cruised over to Google Images and typed '600cc sportbike' in the search bar, and the montauge that sprang up from the ether was enough to convince me there really ARE differences in styling from one to the next. I also found a terrifying road-rash picture that ought to be at the top of our "So you want a 600CC sportbike" thread, but I digress. Not all 600CC sportbikes look the same -- at set alongside the rest of the pack, this Honda looks a little ho-hum. Other offerings look by degrees dangerous, futuristic, painfully aerodynamic and downright mean. This looks like a Saturday morning cartoon from 1988. I don't know enough about the segment to know if this was supposed to look retro, but that's the feel I get from it.
So, how about price?
A 2012 Hyosung GT650 will set you back just $6,200, literally half of this CBR. Yeah, you say, but that's a Hyosung.
A 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 650 comes in at $7,500. Or less than 2/3s.
Can we get a little closer? Okay --
2012 Yamaha YZF-R6 600 nudges up next to this CBR at $10,900, $1,500 less.
So, given all that, I can feel good about handing this a Fail. (-:

Re: This week: 2013 Honda CBR600RRA: Vote Now
I'm honestly past this in my riding career, having had multiple sportbikes in my past. I did REALLY enjoy the CBR1000RR I took out last year though, and still get the urge every once in a while for something like this. Although i would prefer the 1000 the styling of this new 600 looks great and the headlights are a big improvement. I'll go with cool, but that's about as high as any new 600 will get form me.

From meh cruiser one week, to meh sportbike the next.
It isn't awful, but kinda dated (and not in a cool retro way), from those 90's undertail exhausts to the 90's headlights.

Re: This week: 2013 Honda CBR600RRA: Vote Now
Definitely an older style headlight. They seem to have taken styling cues from the 90s VFR 800s, both in headlight and fairing styles.
Seems pretty meh to me. As far as performance, all of the 600s are so close that you won't find much performance difference. It comes down to how each feels to an individual as to who prefers what.
It gets an uncool from me.

I'd give it a try, but I'm afraid it would be boring to ride one of these and stay within the law.
