new Honda CBR1000RR with Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) system

The suspension of the 2007 model was carried over almost unchanged from the 2006 bike, with the same 41 mm (1.61 in) inverted fork in front, and Honda's Unit Pro-Link rear suspension configuration damping the rear wheel. The new three-spoke cast aluminum wheels were also lighter than those on the 2006 bike, which further contributed to the enhanced performance of the suspension. The brakes featured dual radial-mount four-piston calipers and twin 310 mm (12.20 in) discs at the front, and a single-piston caliper and a 220 mm (8.66 in) disc at the rear. Hidden below the steering head was an updated version of the Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) system, which was also available on the CBR1000RR.

The smaller, sharper-edged new front upper fairing was dominated by the large central ram-air duct which fed the airbox through an opening in the steering head section of the frame and was separated from the sides of the fairing by a large gap which Honda said was for air management purposes. The tail-section was similarly smaller and sharper-edged, riding atop a heavily restyled under-seat muffler.

The motorcycle carried over with only color scheme changes for the 2008 model year.

CBR600RR gets feature race-inspired brake discs with radial-mount four-piston calipers, and an aluminum frame an entirely new, swingarm and rear shock. Midrange power also increases. These changes, together with additional improvements to the engine and exhaust system all came together to bring wet CBR600RR�s weight down by 22 lb (10.0 kg), and dry weight by 9 lb (4.1 kg) Unless new color scheme.

The design that we show (found by journalists from Visordown ) reveals the technical layout of the next generation of medium-sized super sport made ??by Honda.
The suspicion that this is the future CBR600RR is real and goes hand in hand with the hypothesis that this model will be the basis for the bike that Honda will field in the championship of Moto2.
Moto2 in the future should become attractive for other manufacturers (and not just for the frame builders), similar to what is happening now for the unborn Moto3.

In 2005, the CBR600RR received a major revision with new bodywork, fully adjustable inverted front forks, race-inspired disc brakes with radial-mounted four-piston calipers, and an entirely new aluminum frame, swingarm and rear shock. The midrange power was also increased. These changes along with additional refinements to the engine and exhaust system all came together to bring CBR600RR's wet weight down by 22 lb (10.0 kg), and dry weight by 9 lb (4.1 kg) Except for new color schemes, the 2006 model was unchanged from the 2005 model.

CBR600RR

The CBR600RR was developed from and inspired by the Honda RC211V MotoGP bike. The similar physical appearance of the CBR600RR and RC211V was intentional. Underneath the bike was MotoGP technologies that were made available for the first time on a production motorcycle, such as the Unit Pro-Link rear suspension and Dual Stage Fuel Injection (PGM-DSFI). Both were taken directly from Honda's MotoGP bike. The RR, or race replica, suffix was added to emphasize racing characteristics such as an advanced braced swingarm, center-up exhaust system, and more aggressive riding position. The 2003 model carried over to 2004 technically unchanged, with the only addition of an oxygen sensor and new color schemes.
