- New, stability-enhancing fairing material is added without increasing overall weight of the motorcycle.
- Weight savings in the engine, exhaust and chassis achieve an amazingly low 184kg kerb weight, ensuring the CBR600RR remains the the lightest machine in its class.
- Sleek new oval-shaped indicators with clear lens and orange bulb enhance the CBR600RR's aggressive and purposeful styling lines.
- Compact and mass centralised 600cc liquid-cooled inline-4 powerplant is lighter than previous model, contributing to overall weight savings.
- New piston, cylinder head and muffler improve torque delivery in the range of revs between 8000-12000 rpm.
- Extra mid-range performance gives improved drive out of corners both on track and on the road.
- New high resistance valve lifter is specially developed for reduced surface pressure and maximum durability.
- Redesigned exhaust with new tailpipe and inner pipe shape achieves lighter weight.
- New exhaust popup valve system is the same as used in the CBR1000RR Fireblade.
- New undercowl, more precise sculpting and new air vents create a more effective airflow at medium and high speeds, resulting in enhanced machine stability, especially in longer, high-speed corners.
