Honda CBR600RA 2017 Motorcycle Specification

The 2017 Honda CBR600RA is a high-performance sport motorcycle that combines advanced technology and precision engineering. It is powered by a 599cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine, featuring a Dual Stage Fuel Injection (DSFI) system which optimizes fuel delivery and throttle response. The engine is mated to a close-ratio six-speed transmission designed for seamless power delivery and acceleration.

The chassis is constructed from an aluminum twin-spar frame, offering rigidity and lightweight handling characteristics. The suspension system consists of a fully adjustable 41mm Showa Big Piston Fork (BPF) at the front and a Unit Pro-Link rear suspension with a gas-charged HMAS damper, which also offers full adjustability for preload, compression, and rebound damping. This setup ensures superior handling and stability across various riding conditions.

Braking is managed by dual 310mm front discs with radial-mounted four-piston calipers and a single 220mm rear disc, both equipped with Honda's Combined ABS for enhanced safety and control. The motorcycle features a sleek and aerodynamic design, with a wind-tunnel-tested fairing that reduces drag and improves high-speed stability.

The instrument panel is a multi-functional LCD display that provides essential information such as speed, RPM, fuel level, and gear position. The 2017 CBR600RA also includes advanced features like Honda Ignition Security System (HISS) for theft prevention and a lightweight 12-spoke aluminum wheel design.

With a dry weight of approximately 410 pounds and a fuel capacity of 4.8 gallons, the Honda CBR600RA 2017 offers an exceptional blend of power, agility, and technological sophistication, making it a standout choice for both track enthusiasts and everyday riders.
