Honda CBR 600RR & 1000RR Track Special

According to a report on
Motociclismo, Honda have announced the
availability of special, track-prepped Fireblades and CBR600RRs. Tweaked to the
max and pared to the bone, these bikes are currently only available in Japan,
though Honda might also sell these in other markets later.
Modifications to the CBR600 include the fitment of new fork springs and
shock absorbers and a racing exhaust, and removal of anything that doesn’t help
make the bike go faster. The Fireblade gets a close-ratio gearbox, a more
robust, higher-revving engine with new cams and valves, fully adjustable
high-spec suspension, an HRC clutch kit and, of course, a lap timer. The ride
height at the rear is adjustable, and in order to keep the weight down, Honda
have even ditched the catalytic converter, since these bikes are only meant for
track use.
These track-special Fireblades and CBR600RRs are apparently meant for racing
teams as well as individuals who do not use their bikes outside of the
racetrack. No word yet on whether these track-specials will be made available
outside Japan
