Crap, the new 600RR has dual stage fuel injectors. So happy they kept the undertail exhaust.

MSRP is $5999 (ABS $6499)

I'm digging the CBR500. The 600 styling, not so much..

600RR doesn't look so great. Glad they went with the under tail exhaust, It's the only thing that is a real plus, and I'm a Honda guy...
I do not like the direction Honda is going with all the cheap looking, black plastic crap.

Not really liking the "fang" look of the 500's fairings. Looks like a design competition where someone ran out of time or materials.

The new 600 looks like ass.
These bikes look like a ton of fun, though.

The cbr 600 kept the undertail because it's just a refresh.

So. Basically new bodywork, wheels and perhaps another two horsepower due to the new ECU and this is supposed to be Honda's response? New colors for the CBR1000RR?

I like the new 600, but I feel that the aesthetics are more of a revision of the 2003-2006 600rr, not the ’07 to ’12 600rr, they lost the multi layered look of the current bike. I’m assuming this was for cost savings, both at time of production and when the bike is inevitably thrown down the road.

Basically. I guess Kawasaki is the only company taking the sportbike market seriously.

"Honda’s CBR600RR has long been heralded as the best all-around 600-class sportbike the world has ever seen."
^^^^No it isn't and no it hasn't.
This just in: It looks like garbage as well.
