Video: 07 CBR6 launch

In late November 2006 MCN’s test rider Adam Child headed to America to try out the new Honda CBR600RR.

Following an outing on this revised 2007 model, feelings from the MCN camp are that Honda has done a great job.

This model is lighter than previous, which shows as soon as you take it off its side stand.

Honda has included a steering damper – so fear not the feint hearted among you.

The R6 will remain the main rival to the CBR but the quality remains as good as it always was.
