I think this may be the real deal. I don't believe much of what Raptors and Rockets says, but they may be legit on this one. I'm sure the high res pics will show more detail, but this is all I could find on the internet (off a Kawasaki forum of all places ).


LOL...you beat me to it JP!

looks like this may be it. Nothing to bust one over if it is. Looks nice though.

Okay....Here is the OFFICIAL info, direct from Honda folks ---- (btw - http://hondanews.com/CatID7120 if anyone's curious) I think I'm dig'n the new design. But, I don't see a slipper clutch? Does the Honda already come with one? Like I said before, I've been a Kawi guy, so I'm not very up to date with my Honda knowledge...

******************************************************************************************

Torrance, Calif. 09/06/2006 -- The CBR(R)600's most radical redesign since the introduction of the RR in 2003 is highlighted by a whole new engine, frame and bodywork that results in a smaller, lighter, more-powerful CBR600RR with a class-leading power-to-weight ratio and unparalleled performance.

Features & Benefits

New for 2007

Class-leading power-to-weight ratio for outstanding acceleration and handling.
Smaller, lighter, more compact inline four-cylinder engine.
Improved midrange performance and enhanced peak power.
Significant weight reduction in engine and chassis.
Repositioned transmission shafts within crankcase allow for shorter engine.
New lightweight, forged-aluminum pistons incorporate special shot peening for added toughness.
Lightweight magnesium head cover.
New, single exhaust valve-springs.
Smaller, lighter neodium magnet ACG.
New transmission gear ratios.
Smaller, lighter clutch.
New front-brake vertical-piston master-cylinder system.
Lighter weight stainless steel four-into-one exhaust features new inline-exhaust valve to control exhaust pressure for maximum performance.
New intake-air control valve (IACV) minimizes torque reaction and smoothes response to small throttle changes through gradual reductions of air and fuel intake when the throttle is opened and closed.
New non-resonance knock sensor maintains optimum spark advance while constantly monitoring combustion performance during mid- to high-speed operation.
New nose-mounted ram-air induction directs fresh, cool air to a higher-volume airbox.
New smaller and lighter Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD).
Newly designed Fine Die-Cast (FDC) frame uses four large castings for lighter weight.
Improved mass centralization.
Redesigned radiator with compact dimensions improves cooling capacity.
All-new bodywork enhances handling and performance.
Handlebars raised 10mm for improved rider comfort.
Center of gravity revised for more neutral response and easier side-to-side flickability.
New, compact instrument design.
Exciting new colors--Pearl White/Silver and Ultra Blue Metallic/Silver--join Red/Black and Black as color options.
Unique features

Unit Pro-Link(TM) rear suspension and swingarm design inspired by RC211V(R).
Dual Stage Fuel Injection (DSFI) system features two injectors per cylinder.
High-revving engine redlines at 15,000 rpm.
MotoGP-style RC211V center-up exhaust system.
Radial-mount front brake calipers combined with radial actuated master cylinder.
41mm Honda Multi-Action System (HMAS) inverted front fork.
Centrally located fuel tank increases mass centralization and allows more compact frame design.
Line beam headlights feature three-piece reflector design.
Engine/Drivetrain

Liquid-cooled DOHC 16-valve 599cc four-stroke inline four-cylinder engine features oversquare bore and stroke of 67mm x 42.5mm.
Intake port surface treatment revised for improved efficiency.
Oil jet relocated beneath piston for additional friction reduction and cooling.
Iridium-tip spark plugs improve fuel combustion and performance.
DSFI system features 40mm throttle bodies and two injectors per cylinder--one upper and one lower--controlled by an electronic control system (ECU) that senses rpm and throttle opening. Lower injector enhances rideability while upper injector improves top-end horsepower.
Denso 12 hole injectors deliver finely atomized fuel mixture for optimum combustion efficiency and power.
Auto enrichment system is integrated into p

I'm not a huge fan of the front end...

BUT my main complaint is the exhaust!!! Look at how big the muffler is!!!!!! (check out the pic of the underside!!) And what's up with the brake light mounted UNDER the exhaust now?? Can you say "aftermarket nightmare"?

Still looks good though!

They look too much like the Gixxers for me. They are sharp, but I still like the 03-06 better!! Performancewise seems a little better though!!
