Has C-ABS, new suspension and 12 spoke wheels. They're flogging the C-ABS as if it's new but this was on at least the 2012 right?

Cosmetically you can see the some stuff changed: headlight, engine cover exposed, tank is different and has an inset logo, tail has scoops and is less pointy, reflectors have moved to the license plate holder, exhaust is less streamlined, seat looks fatter, frame looks thicker and less is exposed...

I don't like the headlights or the wheels. It didn't say anything about the engine only a revised ecu. No TC still? I don't predict anyone flocking the Honda dealerships anytime soon.
 
Looks good. I don't think they've had a repsol edition since the f4i? I could be wrong and yes no mention of traction control....

The F4i and 600RR have never had a Repsol edition from the factory, Only every other year 1000RR's since I believe 05'
 
Zactly. Typical Honda, minor updates type of thing.
This bike has only seen minor revisions for 9 yrs!!
Mind you, Honda is still winning races with this thing, and it has always had a " don't fix what aint broke" mentality.
They don't seem too concerned to be in a specsheet race.
 
I think it looks great. I'm feeling the headlights and rims. Can't wait to see them next riding season.

why would they bother really? 99% of replies in this thread will be about the headlights, the fairings or the paint colours. same with the riding community in general.

But the new look is so innovative!!

I mean, they added exhaust vents that the 1000RR had in 2004. It's like looking into the future!
 
Honda's "sportbike" ABS was around in... 2009? I tried it on a CBR 1KRR and thought it worked perfectly... you don't know it's there but it works. At least, on the street.

The suspension upgrades may make it a better overall bike... the wheels? Uh, not really feeling them. But I'm not their target market anyways.
 
ew. those headlights look ugly.
 
I like Hondas but I'm in the "meh" crowd on this one. Aesthetically, the headlights look like a mashup of the current RR and a Duc with that somewhat cantilevered nose-over-lens design. Not sure I like it but might be one of those things that grows on me.

Oh and look, it's a 60cc now! =P

New for 2013, we've added 12-spoke aluminum cast wheels, which look great with the CBR60RR’s redesigned bodywork.

Anything about the weight of this bike? How light is it?
My '08 CBR600rr feels like a feather :)
