HONDA CBR 600 RR

The CBR600RR was developed from and inspired by the Honda RC211V motoGP bike.The similar physical appearance of the CBR600RR and RC211V is intentional. Underneath the bike are 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. While it's not uncommon for street bikes to utilize racing technology, this was the first time totally new technologies found their way to the production line the same year they made their way to the professional racing grid. The bike receives the "RR" designation for "race replica" because of its emphasis on 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 adition of a oxygen sensor and new color schemes.

In 2005, the CBR600RR received a major revision with new body work, fully adjustable inverted front forks, a set of track-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 weight down nine pounds, although Motorcycle USA.com measured the 2005 model as being 22 lb (10.0 kg) lighter than the 2004 model.Except for new color schemes, the 2006 model was unchanged from the 2005 model.


On June 9, 2008, Honda revealed a CBR600RR prototype that featured an all new braking system branded as Combined ABS which integrates combined braking, anti-lock braking, and brake-by-wire systems. Combined ABS uses a computer control unit to ensure the correct balance of front and rear brake use and also controls when the ABS should engage. The system is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible by delaying the engagement of the ABS until the last possible moment.
The prototype was the first ever super sport motorcycle to feature ABS. Although Combined ABS is not available on the 2008 CBR600RR or any other Honda motorcycle, Honda plans on rolling out the new braking system across its production machines over the next two years.

On September 5, 2008, Honda introduced a revised CBR600RR for the 2009 model year. Following the "Combined ABS" prototype, the new CBR600RR will have an available option of "Combined ABS". Other changes include updates to the engine which improved torque from 8000 rpm to 12000 rpm, improved fairings that enhance stability and reduce noise emission levels, and new color schemes which were designed to attract a wider range of riders. Although all of these changes involved the addition of some materials, the overall weight of the 2009 CBR600RR remains the same as the 2008 model. This was achieved through weight savings in the engine, exhaust, and chassis and the non-ABS version remained the lightest bike in the super sport class.

The 2010 CBR600RR will be made available in U.S. dealerships in Spring of 2010. The motorcycle carried over with only color scheme changes for the 2010 model year. It includes a new theme, dubbed "Leyla," in which a shadow of a woman is seen on a black and white finish. This non solid-color design is not the first for Honda, in previous years it has included such designs as "Phoenix," and "Graffiti."

HONDA CBR 600 F

The Honda CBR600F, known as the 'Hurricane' in the US market, is a sports motorcycle made from 1987-2006 by Honda. It was Honda's first inline  4-line,filly faired sportbike. It has a liquid cooled 85 hp (63 kW) DOHC 16-valve inline 4, and a 6-speed transmission. The Honda Hurricane was introduced as the newest style of sportbike, its smooth body lines were complemented by its angular form, providing the Hurricane with some of the best aerodynamic properties of its time, and it changed the way sportbikes were built. The Hurricane was also the first 0.6L sport bike to cross a quarter mile in under 12 seconds (11.23 second 1/4 mile), and with all 85 horsepower (63 kW) screaming away at 11,000 rpm (max rpm of 12,000) the Honda Hurricane was one of the most intense sport motorcycles of its time. CBR600's have been built in its fairing-clad sleek image ever since.

Often the naming of the CBR600F series can be followed by a letter which designates the year of fabrication(e.g. CBR600F-T for a 1996 CBR600F3).

HONDA CBR 1100 XX

The Honda CBR1100XX, also known as the Super Blackbird is a motorcycle manufactured by Honda  from 1996 to 2007. In the mid 1990s, Honda Motorcycles were determined to produce the world's fastest production motorcycle and to take over the associated bragging rights and marketing impact, at the time held by Kawasaki with its ZZ-R 1100. This led to the creation of the CBR1100XX Super Blackbird, which achieved a verifiable 177 mph (285 km/h). The Blackbird name is a nod to the Lockheed SR-71 aircraft, once the world's fastest aircraft. Two years later the title had passed to the Suzuki Hayabusa which was able to exceed 188 mph (303 km/h).

In the mid 1990s, Honda Motorcycles were determined to produce the world's fastest production motorcycle and to take over the associated bragging rights and marketing impact, at the time held by Kawasaki with its ZX11. This led to the creation of the CBR1100XX Blackbird.

The Blackbird name is a nod to the Lockheed SR-71 aircraft, once the world's fastest aircraft.

In multiple real world rider's tests, the carbureted 1997 and 1998 model Blackbirds came in with top speeds of 172–174 mph (277–280 km/h). In in rider tests, the 1998 CBR 1100XX Blackbird topped out at 174 mph (280 km/h), and still could not beat the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-11 which held the title of the "Worlds Fastest Production Motorcycle", 1990 to 1998 with a top speed using carburetors and ram air, of 176 mph (283 km/h).

In 1999, knowing Suzuki was bringing a rocket to market, Honda redesigned the Blackbird by adding an improved ram air system and fuel injection which raised the Blackbird's horsepower to 164 hp (122 kW)[citation needed] for 1999 and increased the top speed of the 1999 Blackbird to the mid 180 mph (290 km/h), with many claiming a top speed in 1999 of 186 mph (299 km/h).[citation needed]

In 1999 the Suzuki Hayabusa GSXR1300 took the world's fastest production motorcycle crown from the 1998 ZX-11. The Hayabusa's top speed was 20 kph faster than the 1999 Blackbird, and well into the mid 190's on all riders tests and shootouts of the era.

HONDA DN-01

The Honda DN-01 is an automatic cruiser motorcycle made by Honda. It was introduced at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show and went on sale in Japan and Europe in 2008, and in the US in 2009.

The 2009 model DN-01's performance, measured by Motorcycle Consumer News, was 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 7.41 seconds, a 1/4 mile  time of 15.41 seconds at 87.42 mph (140.69 km/h), and a top speed of 113.1 mph (182.0 km/h). Braking performance, which uses an antilock braking system  on the front dual disc brakes, was 60 to 0 mph (97 to 0 km/h) in 124 ft (38 m). The feature that most impressed the reviewer was the unique automatic continuously variable transmission  (CVT) technology, called by Honda the "Human Friendly Transmission," which, though expensive, was revolutionary, and potentially, "the ideal drivetrain for most of us, with the potential to satisfy a wide variety of riders regardless of experience or riding preference."

Reviewer complaints focused on ergonomics, especially potentially uncomfortable seating on long rides, and the lack of wind protection at high speed, meaning the rider is fatigued pulling on the handlebars to resist the wind pushing them backwards. There is also no storage space at all, and the price of US$ 14,599 is much higher than any comparably performing machine.Since the initial reviews, the price has risen to US$ 15,599. The load capacity is only 324 lb (147 kg), meaning that with a passenger the DN-01 is likely to become overloaded if touring were attempted. Ultimate MotorCycling, like other reviewers, was fascinated with the transmission technology but found the combination of styles and features unsatisfactory from the point of view of either a cruiser rider or sportbike rider, while the lack of storage fails to meet the needs of either touring riders or the urban commuter scooter buyer.

The DN-01 is available in colors Candy Dark Red and Black. A new color was introduced in 2009: Pearl Sunbeam White. It has a catalyser system compliant with EURO-3, California Air Resources Board (CARB) and EPA emissions standards.

HONDA CBR1000RR

"CBR1000" redirects here. For the 1987–1999 motorcycle also known as the "Hurricane", see Honda CBR1000F.

The CBR1000RR (also known as the Fireblade) is a 999 cc (61.0 cu in) liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder Honda sport bike that was introduced in 2004 to replace the CBR954RR.

The Honda CBR1000RR was developed by the same team that was behind the MotoGP series. Many of the new technologies introduced in the Honda CBR600RR, a direct descendant of the RC211V, were used in the new CBR1000RR such as a lengthy swingarm, Unit Pro-Link rear suspension, and Dual Stage Fuel Injection System (DSFI).

An all new CBR1000RR was introduced at the Paris International Motorcycle Show  on September 28, 2007 for the 2008 model year. The CBR1000RR is powered by an all new 999 cc (61.0 cu in) inline-four engine with a redline of 13,000 rpm. It features titanium valves and an enlarged bore with a corresponding reduced stroke. The engine has a completely new cylinder block, head configuration, and crankcase with lighter pistons. A new ECU  delivers two separate revised maps sending the fuel and air mixture to be squeezed tight by the 12.3:1 compression ratio. Ram air is fed to an enlarged air box through two revised front scoops located under the headlamps. Honda claims power output to be at least 178 hp (133 kW) beginning at 12,000 rpm.

Honda made a very focused effort to reduce and centralize overall weight. A lighter, narrower die cast frame was formed using a new technique which Honda claims allows for very thin wall construction and only four castings to be welded together. Almost every part of the new bike was reengineered to reduce weight including the sidestand, front brake hoses, brake rotors, battery, and wheels.

In order to improve stability under deceleration, a slipper clutch is now available with a unique center-cam-assist mechanism. The Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) has been revised this year as well. Another significant change is the exhaust system which is no longer a center-up underseat design. The CBR1000RR now features a side slung exhaust in order to increase mass centralization and compactness while mimicking a Moto GP style.

On September 5, 2008, Honda announced the 2009 model. The bike remained the same, in terms of engine, styling, and performance. The only new addition was the introduction of the optional factory fitted Combined ABS (C-ABS) system originally showcased on the CBR600RR Combined ABS prototype. In addition to the new color schemes offered on the 2009 model, Honda reintroduced a Repsol limited edition color scheme. The Repsol paint edition in the US originally was offered without C-ABS. European versions had C-ABS available.

On September 4, 2009, Honda announced the 2010 model. Honda increased the diameter of the flywheel for more inertia. This improved low-rpm torque and smoother running just off idle. The license plate assembly was redesigned for quicker removal when preparing the motorcycle for track use. The muffler cover was also redesigned for improved appearance. New color schemes were also offered.

The CBR1000RR has been used extensively in the international racing scene since its inception in 2004. Chris Vermeulen and the Dutch Ten Kate team placed the bike fourth in the standings in its debut year in the World Superbike class. The following year, the bike and team secured runner-up honours. In 2007, the Hannspree Ten Kate team was able to secure the first World Superbike Championship with the CBR1000RR with Briton James Toseland. Also, Ryuichi Kiyonari was able to win back to back titles in the British Superbike Championship in 2006-07 using the CBR1000RR with the HM Plant Honda team.

The CBR1000RR has also been used heavily in the road racing scene, most notably at the famous Macau Grand Prix. Since its debut in 2004, it has recorded 4 victories with Michael Rutter having taken back to back victories in 2004–2005 and Scottish motorcycle racer Stuart Easton achieving the same, in 2008–2009. Arguably, the most famous of all road races has been the annual Isle of Man TT races which the CBR has been used to continue Hondas success at the circuit. Since 2006, the HM Plant team and Padgetts UK Honda team utilising the CBR1000RR have achieved 8 victories at the event ranging from the Superbike, Superstock and the blue riband Senior TT races. 2009 was especially dominant year for the Fireblade, having achieved the top 5 positions in the Superbike TT final standings, as well as another CBR1000RR whitewash in the Superstock TT where they occupied the top 5 again. Steve Plater also won the blue riband Senior TT race to secure Honda the manufacturers crown, fittingly as it was Honda's 50th racing year at the event.

HONDA VALKYRIE

The Honda Valkyrie is a motorcycle that was manufactured by Honda, from model years 1997 to 2003. It was designated GL1500C in the US market and F6C in other markets.

The Valkyrie engine is a 1,520 cc (93 cu in) liquid cooled, horizontally-opposed flat-six engine transplanted from Honda's Goldwing model. This was unusual since most "cruiser" style motorcycles were based on a V-twin engine design similar to the engine of a Harley-Davidson. In its transplant from the Goldwing, the most notable engine changes were the camshaft and the change to six individual 28 mm carburetors, one for each cylinder, changes which increased power and torque.

The Valkyrie was offered with a reverse gear in Japan. The Valkyrie was made in the U.S.A. at the Honda motorcycle plant in Marysville, Ohio.
