Video: New 2021 Honda CBR600RR About To Be Unveiled

Rennie Scaysbrook | August 6, 2020

The 2021 Honda CBR600RR will be getting a full makeover for the first time in well over a decade, with the Big H showing off a teaser video on YouTube and on their Japanese website.

The 2021 Honda CBR600RR video doesn’t show much other than a smaller bike that’s clearly modeled on the 2020 CBR1000RR-R SP, with little winglets, the same color scheme, and LED lighting front and rear.

We can also see the same dash (briefly) in the video, and see it’s got variable riding modes, engine brake control, wheelie control, and traction control, most likely indicating the presence of an IMU.

The styling, while new, isn’t a massive departure from the underseat exhaust/pointy front style the CBR pioneered way back in the early 2000s, as such, we don’t know if the chassis will be changed dramatically from what’s currently on sale. The same goes for the suspension.

The proper unveiling date for the new CBR is August 21, 2020, and we’ll bring you all the details when we get them.
