The 2010 Honda CBR600RR features a 599cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder which absolutely screams in the upper RPM range. The 2010 Honda CBR600RR motor boasts changes to the pistons, cylinder head and exhaust; which produced improved torque from 8,000-12,000rpm for increased engine flexibility and drivability. New for 2009 and 2010 the CBR600RR is available with electronically controlled Combined ABS for better braking performance along with increased safety (optional). The 2010 Honda CBR600RR weighs in at 432 pounds and features an electronic steering dampener (HESD); which helps maintain predictable high-speed handling and low-speed maneuverability.

Honda expanded the CBR’s color options in an effort to stimulate the public’s interest in the motorcycle. Exclusive to the 2010 Honda CBR600RR a new theme, dubbed “Leyla,” is available, 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.”
