Looks like someone decided to start bringin' the lumber in the engine bay over at Mother Honda's R&D department. (They're knockin' on the 110hp door with a 600!) Let's hope this carries over to the bigger bikes. If so, Honda might be the king predator soon.

the '05 RR sure is looking nice....kinda torn between it and the '05 6R...now, the only thing missing is the slipper clutch and some lighter wheels, and we'd be ready!!!! but as it stands now, it sure is looking like Honda is stepping up....

still doesn't look as good as the 600RR though..

the 05 ZX-6R with it's underseat exhaust and slipper clutch should be a deadly track tool... wonder what it dyno's at for 05.

No ****! Same thing people used to say when the R1 was making more power, yeah compared to 929cc's or 954cc's Extra displacement = more power.

But all the HP in the world ain't gonna help when the damn thing weighs so much. If I had one thing I really disliked about my 600RR was it was HEAVY. I hope Honda has addressed the weight issue, haven't been paying much attention to the 600 class since I got my 954.

I tell ya, if they could just make the 600 class have the same torque #'s as my 954 I would never buy another 1000 again.
