History

PC19

The 1986 Honda CBR600F presented the market (internal designation: PC19 ) was the first fully enclosed motorcycle with 600 cm3.

The engine has two overhead camshafts, 16 valves, liquid cooling and produces an output of 85 hp. The maximum speed is 12,000 rpm and top speed 230 km / h

The chassis has a rear monoshock with Umlenkhebelei and forwards over a telescopic fork. The brake system consists of a dual disc front brakes in combination with a single disc brake at the rear.

PC23

From model year 1989, the PC23 replaced the PC19. Aside from another decal set she received with a slightly revised engine, which now provides nominally 93 hp. Homologated she was at a maximum speed of 233 km / h

PC25

In 1991, the internally called CBR600F PC25 underwent a major overhaul. A newly developed engine with a laterally positioned next to the cylinder block camshaft drive, straighter channels in the cylinder head, larger valves and flat slide carburetors with a larger diameter in a compact design replaced the predecessor unit. The overall construction allowed a significant reduction of the internal friction and the weight of the moving parts, whereby an increase in performance on PS 100 could be achieved. The chassis is stiffer overall, since the engine took a leading role.

PC31

1995, followed by other major changes with the PC31. The crankcase has remained unchanged, the compression ratio was increased as the diameter of the carburetor. The gearbox has been revised, enlarged the radiator and modified all moving parts to further reduce the weight and friction. The most important innovation was the equipment of the CBR, a direct air intake system. The Höchstdehzahl was increased from 13.000/min on 13.500/min. Your actuarially limited maximum power of 98 hp, the CBR produced, however, continue at 12,000 rpm. The actual maximum output without the built in Germany and other EU countries " series throttling " 102 hp. In addition to a revised front fork, she received a wider rear rim (5 inches) and a larger swingarm. The former floating-caliper brakes, which tended to harsh use superheating, was replaced by a fixed-caliper brake with floating gelagertern and enlarged brake discs. The weight increased by these changes. The years 1995/1996 ( unofficially called " PC31a ") and 1997/1998 ( " PC31b " ) can, like, be based on the standard color assigned to the particular vintage and the models of PC25 and PC35. The 1995/96er-Modell has a rear ( passenger grab handle, tail boom and tail light ) corresponding to the PC25. The rear of the 1997/98er is longer.

PC35

In the late 1990s, competitive pressures grew to Honda by the competitor models from Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki. The completely newly developed the 1999 model CBR600F PC35 of had a completely revised engine and made 106 hp at 12.500/min. Also been modified, the chassis - both the frame and the directly attached to the crankcase for added rigidity swingarm were first made ​​of aluminum. The new secondary air system further improved the exhaust emission values ​​.

In 2000, the PC35 underwent a revision, an electronic fuel injection system replaced the carburettor technology in the mixture preparation and from a closed-loop 3 -way catalytic converter was installed to further improve the exhaust emissions. The other changes ( twin headlights, digital instrument cluster ) were rather cosmetic. The new model variant CBR600F Sport should appeal with single seat, an additional clutch plate and a shorter final drive ratio sportier driver and his race track ready with a few modifications. The PC35 was produced until the 2006 model year, however, the CBR600F Sport version was only available in 2001 and 2002.

PC37

The presented in 2003 CBR600RR (internal PC37 ) solved the CBR600F Sport from. Initially, PC35 and PC37 were produced in parallel, the PC37 differs inter alia by a higher engine output, more adjustment of the chassis and two individual seats instead of a continuous seat. The first revised version of the CBR600RR in 2005 was on the market and now had a maximum output of 117 hp instead of 114, upside- down forks, low weight and minimal design changes to the fairing. The PC37 has a useful speed range up to 15.000/min, an acceleration from 0-100 km / h in 3.4 seconds and a maximum speed of 265 km / hr.

PC40

For the model year 2007 appeared a more modern, lighter and more powerful (120 hp) CBR600RR. Instead of a classic full fairing, like their predecessors, one now finds in front of more air-conducting trim parts. Thus, the weight could be reduced while the air resistance similar remained low. Like the Honda Fireblade ( SC57 ) decreed the CBR600RR now also on electronic steering damper HESD (Honda Electronic Steering Damper ). Since the facelift 2009 Honda also offers the optional anti-lock brakes (ABS ) for the PC40.

PC41

In 2011, Honda introduced the CBR600F again. This is now based on the frame and engine of the Honda Hornet and comes standard with ABS and an integral brake.
