For 2010 Big Red once again sticks with what it already has, only giving the CBR600RR the traditional BNG (Bold New Graphics). It gets two “exciting” new looks: Pearl Orange/Black and Leyla, while the C-ABS-equipped model remains only available in the traditional Honda Red/Black. And even though this rounds out the changes, it’s hard to argue they need to do much to the versatile little CBR. That said we had expected for a bit more. Maybe 2011…

Also available with the Honda’s unique Combined ABS for the pinnacle of sportbike braking performance, the 2010 CBR600RR continues to set the standard for the middleweight class.

The graphics are good except for the inlayed extras (cards 777 etc..) The body could use little updating but overall as much as I don't want to say it, it's the best one out there. I'm just going to assume these aren't the only colors that are coming out.
gully mi seh - great job  October 18, 2009 11:22 AM

Robert - Sorry John, thats her hair,not tribal flames^^^  September 9, 2009 03:09 PM
I think Honda did a good with the new graphics. The whole design flows great from front to rear. Why change a 99% perfect bike. Maybe a few more color schemes, and make ABS available on all color options. Other than that, good job Honda.

u guys think that with just a new design, than it's going to beat zx6r 2009? i dont think so.
John - Andy warhol edition?  September 4, 2009 04:17 PM
What is this a pathetic attempt to connect with gen Y? It looks like a hot mess I could barley tell there was a girl there and what the hell does do those half assed tribal flame things have anything to do with the rest of the scheme on the bike its like they took a frat house and a 60's art gallery and slammed them together. I guess I just don't get what they were going for with this design, Honda getting lazy.
