Anyone have any thoughts or feedback as to how I consolidated and formatted the specifications? Would like to see what everyone else thinks before I start to change other articles to the same format. I like the fact that they don't take up too much room, especially on bikes that existed over a number of years. Roguegeek ( talk) 07:54, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Isnt this page ALMOST exactly the same as the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CBR600RR page? Except for this line? "The new three-spoke cast aluminum wheels are also lighter than those on the '06 bike, which further contributes to definite stink coming off her pussy and the enhanced performance of the suspension." Max 04:23, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
I think a user that searches for this bike, or any for this matter, will expect the newest model when the page loads. Since the pictures are already located on the page, I switched the location of them. I don't see this as taking away from the overall flow of the page layout. Does anyone have an issue with this?

I think the deaths of riders on a specific bike are not relevant to the article on the bike itself unless it was the result of something related to the bike, where there was a cited manufacturing defect (faulty production brakes lines, clutch, trans, etc...). Since he happend to crash on a Honda bike and it was not a manufacturing defect, I don't see why this paraghraph should be included in the article. It has already been added to his page on wiki Craig Jones (motorcycle racer). Any thoughts? Revisethis ( talk) 07:22, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

See Motorcycle weight for further discussion on why motorcycle weight can be so controversial. Please do not try to make up your own weight numbers by estimating what you think the oil, battery, etc. weigh. That's WP:Original Research. Just cite the best number you can find, and link to Motorcycle weight where appropriate to let the reader know to take it with a grain of salt.-- Dbratland ( talk) 17:34, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
What is so much more "encyclopedic" about the current lead image, a model four years and two major revisions out of date? The 2010 model shows both the current design, and the relatively new direction Honda is taking in their graphics. Yes, the carpet is appalling and it made every bike in their display look like vomit, but I guess that kind of tells you where Honda's head is at right now. I admit, it is cluttered, but if you want up to date photos of new bikes, they're going to come from shows, and shows are cluttered. -- Dbratland ( talk) 18:34, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
While the new engine is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, it also offers increased performance, to the tune of a manufacture claimed 118 hp (88 kW) at 13,500 rpm. At speed, that figure is increased significantly by the highly efficient centrally-located ram-air duct in the bike's nose.
Is this just somebody hypothesizing? Did they do a dyno run inside a wind tunnel? Doesn't almost every modern sportbike use some sort of "ram air" system? And aren't we sort of left guessing about whether or not it really works? On the other hand, if there is reliable information about the Honda CBR600RR ram air system, and evidence that it works better than the competition -- or that it works at all -- I would be quite interested in learning more that. Sources? -- Dbratland ( talk) 03:51, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Ram air systems are designed to : get more air, and thus more fuel-air mixture, into an internal combustion engine. They represent intermediate steps between a standard naturally aspirated engine and a forced induction system, such as a turbocharger or a supercharger. Provide more performance than a conventional intake with a minimum of additional complexity. So its a way to get more in without the external parts like a turbo or like in the h2 a supercharger. Its even in cars The classic Ram-air intake is that seen on the Formula Firebird,, which consists of one or more forward facing scoops that are designed to force, or ram, more air into the intake manifold.. In many ways, this system is almost a hybrid between natural aspiration and forced induction as it compresses the air before it reaches the manifold. When tuned correctly, this option can provide a significant power increase. The biggest drawback to this system is that because it relies on the car's forward motion, it is only really effective at speeds of 40 miles per hour and above. At lower speeds, it loses most of its effectiveness as the air does not reach the scoop quickly enough to be compressed. These systems are not all created equal having a centrally located inlet on the most forward leading edge is the most efficient. As well as having the straightest rout to the air box some current model motorcycles have there's go rite through the neck also a large air box and sealed mental box like on the zx12r is better than a leaky plastic box. They first appeared on the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-11 model in 1990. [2] -- 72bikers ( talk) 18:49, 6 November 2015

Seems to me the Competition section of this article is very incomplete and contains a lot of weasel wording with no valuable information. The Awards section does a better job showing what the Competition section is attempting. Also note reference 7 links to the main page of some motorcycle site which contains no information related to the text. I think the entire Competition section should be deleted.

Sources agree that the 2007 version was significantly lighter than 2006. A link to Honda (which has no mention of dry weight) is used to cite the claim that it went from 361 to 341, dry. However, Motorcycle USA says 381 lbs "empty tank" and Cycle World March 2008 says 384 lbs "Dry weight". Cycle World for July 2009 puts the dry weight for the slightly revised 2009 bike at 386 lbs. Possibly the Honda claimed figures exclude water and oil, and battery, or possibly they are pure fiction or a mistake. But at least the numbers form Cycle World and Motorcycle USA are verifiable.
Or, since we have wet weights from independent sources, it might be worth while to just delete all the dry weights. -- Dbratland ( talk) 07:46, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Current (2011) 102 hp? I thought it was around 125? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Repsolh ( talk • contribs) 10:54, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
As of writing this, the 2013 redesign has been put on sale here in the USA, and official specifications been made public...Would someone be so kind as to update the page to reflect this, including, if nothing else, the specifications of the new model, and maybe a small note on the key differences that accompany this new version? Thank you!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.214.193.87 ( talk) 05:49, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
At my talk page there's some question about the figure of 101.53 bhp for the 2006 model, cite at Cycle World July 2006. I'm adding what other figures I can find. Right now it looks a little suspicious compared with the tested hp CW published in March 2005; only 1 hp difference, which looks even worse compared with the 118 bhp (claimed) for 2007 vs 99.61 rwhp from Motorcycle Consumer News. However, MCN is known for giving lower (and more trustworthy) numbers than other publications. Sport Rider tends to be the most exaggerated, and Cycle World and Motorcyclist are somewhere in between. But we should try to find a better source for the 2005-2006 bhp to clarify.
Of course, ALL these numbers must be taken with a grain of salt at all times. There's just too many variables in test conditions to expect these magazines to agree with each others, or to even be totally consistent from one year to the next. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 20:31, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Maybe this will help you understand when a manufacture makes model changes weights and power can go up or down with these model changes. And different publication use different model dyno machines to measure horsepower. Sometimes they say what kind of machine they use this fact can account for different results. Usually this does not differ by much more than plus or minus a few one way or the other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72bikers ( talk • contribs) 22:57, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
Dennis, I am not familiar with the authenticity or who's stealing what. I am happy to let that go. However, if you are citing a source that says 101.4hp at the rear wheel, then it cannot be 105bhp as well. That would mean there's only a 4hp loss from crankshaft to the rear wheel (this is ridiculous). It is also necessary to understand where it was tested. The USA uses a different sprocket ratio (16/43) to the UK and Australia (16/42). This will have some minor impact on the power outputs.
There are simple ways to check what the power output at the crankshaft is when you have the power at the wheel, and vice versa, this is because once a gear ratio is known it's just a matter of simple maths. Assuming the power results are from the USA. Then, squaring the ratio: (43/16)^2 = 7.2226. Now dividing 101.4hp by 7.2226 => 101.4/(7.2226) = 14.04 14.04 is the loss of power through the entire transmission and final chain drive. That means the power produced at the engine is 115.4hp. Which is 115.4bhp. Now since this is a theoretical figure which doesn't include loss of heat and sound in the equation, it means the actual engine power is a bit higher. Which is why 115bhp - 118bhp is an acceptable level. I think it is with this kind of analysis in mind you should evaluate test data, so you know whether some magazine is mixing up terminologies. This is a standard type of calculation between engines and electric motors that have any kind of gear reduction system in between two outputs (engine crank and wheel).
Now, I don't expect people to start editing figures and start placing mathematical calculations as justifications in their edit reasons. However, this was to demonstrate my point. So if some source stated 105bhp, I will have to say no, they do not know the difference. Just because someone does a dyno run does not mean they should know or be familiar with the detailed and engineering technical aspects of it, how many magazines have you seen attempting to workout the crankshaft power (bhp) by working with the (rwhp) figure? None that I've seen so far, even though it's a pretty simple calculation and the manufacturer's claim can be validated.
I have done these calculations for the Kawasaki ZX-6R as they are the only manufacturer out of the 4 major Japanese manufacturers that publish their engine power in their service manual (and it is not exaggerated, it falls within a reasonable tolerance of what independents tests show at the rear wheel)
As for this link: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/motoring/road-tests/honda-cbr600rr-428043.html
You are missing my point. I did not claim that was a 2006 model. I was pointing to the proper use of bhp there. There is no 13 hp difference between CBR600RR's of any year. But do you know what? What is 13hp close to? It is close to 14.04hp, the power loss difference I just calculated for you earlier. It is indeed true that the 2006 and 2007 model varies slightly in the power output. The 2007 model had increased midrange and slightly better peak power this is evident in that dyno printout.
As for where that image came from, I just found it here:
Sportrider did indeed test the 2006 model, do you know how I know 100% that dyno printout here is correct for the 2006 models?
It is very simple. Kawasaki did NOT release a ZX-6R 636 in 2007. It was strictly 2003 - 2006 until they re-released it in 2013. That dyno graph shows TWO Kawasaki ZX-6R variants as at the time they were releasing a 599cc version (ZX-6RR) for use in competition and their 636 (ZX-6R) model. My point with that dyno print out however was not to claim a specific power figure for the CBR600RR, but to show that those are all wheel horse power numbers and that 105.6 whp is well within the tolerances for different dyno readouts to the 101.4hp figure. I personally think that the SportRider dyno is reading a little high, but that's of the least consequence. As for why Sport Rider have not listed it, I'm not sure? Maybe there was a mistake in linking it properly, it does not mean that the graph is from 2007 or that it's wrong.
I see you have edited the article to include several designations for power, I think that's a much better layout, but I am sorry, I am going to have to start editing all the power figures across the supersports pages. It is clear that until I explicitly pointed out the discrepancies you were unaware of the differences between BHP and RWHP, you undid my edit claiming it was "utter nonsense". You have updated the figures for '06 and '07 with rubbish data. Can you explain to me how the torque at the crank of the '07 is so close to the torque at the wheel of '06?
Are you trying to tell me that the torque produced by the '06 CBR600RR at the wheel is equivalent to a GSX-R750 and that the '06 is able to accelerate like a 750 compared to the 2007 model CBR600RR? Because that's exactly what the maths is telling me, a figure of 65.2Nm at the wheel is roughly 70 - 72Nm at the crank! No that 65.2Nm is more likely to be at the crank which is in line with it being marginally lower than the 2007 model. Also, there is no way the 2007 model produced less power than the 2006. The engine was a complete redesign and consistently produced more midrange and peak horsepower.
I have been patient thus far, you first told me to post on your talk page, and then when I posted again you told me to post here, which is it? As for your question about the convert function for rwhp, the error given when I previewed it was that the convert function could not be found in blue square brackets and a question mark.

Dennis has updated the layout to a more easier-to-understand manner. He has also updated the specifications data. However there is an issue here. Until 2008, the US variants of the CBR600RR had similar emissions regulations to EU and Australia, except Californian models.
2009+ models were subject to emissions regulations, the ignition timing was retarded to meet those regulations, as a result peak horsepower and peak torque figures were lower than in previous years unless buyers circumvented these by installing a Power Commander or Bazzaz fuel control units.
This link here:
http://www.mcnews.com/mcn/technical/2013JanPerfIndx.pdf
Is cited as the power figure for 2007 - 2008, this is wrong. It clearly states it was tested in issue 7/09, and it also states it's the C-ABS model. The 2007 - 2008 models did NOT have C-ABS. Therefore I propose we discuss which country's/region's power figure we use. An EU or Australian model will have a higher power output, however due to the sheer volume of bikes and motorcycle magazines in the USA, it's much easier to come across US specifications than any other variant.

Because that's exactly what the maths is telling me, a figure of 65.2Nm at the wheel is roughly 70 - 72Nm at the crank! No that 65.2Nm is more likely to be at the crank which is in line with it being marginally lower than the 2007 model. Also, there is no way the 2007 model produced less power than the 2006. The engine was a complete redesign and consistently produced more midrange and peak horsepower.
I have been patient thus far, you first told me to post on your talk page, and then when I posted again you told me to post here, which is it? As for your question about the convert function for rwhp, the error given when I previewed it was that the convert function could not be found in blue square brackets and a question mark.

Dennis has updated the layout to a more easier-to-understand manner. He has also updated the specifications data. However there is an issue here. Until 2008, the US variants of the CBR600RR had similar emissions regulations to EU and Australia, except Californian models.
2009+ models were subject to emissions regulations, the ignition timing was retarded to meet those regulations, as a result peak horsepower and peak torque figures were lower than in previous years unless buyers circumvented these by installing a Power Commander or Bazzaz fuel control units.

Is cited as the power figure for 2007 - 2008, this is wrong. It clearly states it was tested in issue 7/09, and it also states it's the C-ABS model. The 2007 - 2008 models did NOT have C-ABS. Therefore I propose we discuss which country's/region's power figure we use. An EU or Australian model will have a higher power output, however due to the sheer volume of bikes and motorcycle magazines in the USA, it's much easier to come across US specifications than any other variant.

The image entitled "2009 Honda CBR600RR ABS sensor" is actually an image of someone pointing to the ABS tone ring, not the sensor. This should be edited for clarification or the image removed altogether. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neoave ( talk • contribs) 14:38, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
