Motorcycle review and history of Honda CBR 600RR Repsol Replica (2013)

The world-famous concerns Repsol and Honda announced in the summer of 2022 the extension of the joint cooperation agreement until 2020. In addition to extending the partnership contract for two years, the companies expanded the terms of this agreement regarding joint work in the new season of world-class racing - MotoGP.

Repsol PR Executive Director Begoña Elices and HRC President Yoshishige Nomura have extended an agreement that will see Repsol continue to be the main sponsor of the Honda MotoGP team, as well as the main supplier of fuels and lubricants, used in motorcycle racing.

The renewed alliance between the global Spanish energy company and the renowned Japanese auto and motorcycle manufacturer for further cooperation in MotoGP continues a long successful partnership that will reach its 25th anniversary in 2019. The companies plan to celebrate the anniversary of long-term fruitful cooperation and consolidate it with further development not only in the technology industry, but also in world sports.

The cooperation of these two global concerns began back in 1995, when the already well-known Repsol company and the Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) team began working on a common project aimed at developing technology and motorsports. Repsol and HRC's collaboration began with the development of two-stroke engines and fuels suited specifically for them, after which the companies moved on to work with four-stroke engines and suitable fuels. Today, the joint developments of Repsol and Honda are among the best in the world, which has allowed the companies to win numerous victories in world competitions. In the overall championship, which began in 2002, the Repsol Honda team took the lead seven times, numerous Grand Prix victories, 419 podiums - all this was achieved thanks to the Repsol HRC association and first-class riders, including: Mick Doohan, Alex Criville, Valentino Rossi, Nicky Hayden, Casey Stoner, Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez.

Cooperation between companies in this direction has been going on for a quarter of a century, showing better results every year. Professionalism, high competence of specialists and many years of experience guarantee sustainable development and allow the alliance of Repsol and HRC not only to create cutting-edge technologies, but also to receive worldwide recognition, taking prizes in the fiercest competition of technologies, people and machines.

The creation of new technological solutions by Repsol and HRC is possible not only thanks to years of collaboration, but also thanks to an exceptional team of specialists and close cooperation between the Honda laboratories in Saitama (Japan) and the Repsol Technology Center in Mostoles (Spain). Uniting in the fight for prizes, both companies use the latest technological developments, using all available innovative products and scientific achievements.

On the path to excellence and sustainability, Repsol and HRC have continually amazed us with their tenacity in overcoming challenges. The companies were able to leverage their strengths and come up with a winning formula based on a combination of technology, professional athletes and great motorcycles. One of the striking indicators of the successful long-term alliance between Repsol and HRC is the victories in 13 World Championships among drivers in the premier class, as well as 163 victories in the Grand Prix. One of the most recent victories is that of Marc Marquez, which he won at the MotoGP Championship held in September 2022.

In a recent interview, Repsol PR Executive Director Begoña Elices said: “We are certainly pleased to renew our alliance with Honda, which will celebrate its 25th anniversary next year. Our work goes far beyond the traditional sponsorship agreement and is rooted in close collaboration and friendly working. Over the next few years, we will continue to work together on new technological developments, high-quality products for the automotive sector and, of course, dedicate ourselves to the search for the greatest sporting achievements, improvement and commitment of our entire team.”

In turn, HRC President Yoshishige Nomura commented on the extension of cooperation with the following words: “We are pleased to announce the expansion of our partnership with Repsol and the continuation of work for another two years. Next season will mark the 25th anniversary of the longest and most successful relationship in the history of MotoGP, the achievement of which gives us great joy and pride. During our collaboration, we faced many interesting challenges related to rapidly evolving technology, the ever-increasing level of racing competition, the growth of the global MotoGP audience and the rapidly changing means of communication with fans. We look forward to continuing this journey with the same spirit and goals and hope to achieve even greater success.”

In the upcoming 2022 season, current World Championship leader Marx Marquez will compete with Jorge Lorenzo. They have won seven of the last eight MotoGP championships, with the exception of the 2011 championship, which was won by Repsol Honda Team's Casey Stoner. And, undoubtedly, it is the Repsol Honda Team that is the main contender for victory, and not only in 2022, but also in the future.

It all adds up to a sporty bike that leads the way, whether on the track or just a fun afternoon ride on your favorite roads.

New in Honda CBR 600RR Repsol Replica (2013)

A redesigned mid-mounted plunger air intake system and improved ECU and PGM tuning - DSFI delivers more mid-range power and improved throttle response in the high rpm range.

Showa's new 41mm Large Piston Fork (BPF) features a larger damping piston that creates damping forces at lower internal pressures to provide smoother, faster fork action. Adjustable spring preload plus adjustable compression and rebound damping Pro - Link® unit rear suspension features a redesigned shock absorber with new damper settings for improved overall performance. Using knowledge gained from Honda's RC212V MotoGP racing program, the aerodynamic performance of this latest Honda CBR600RR , boasting a 6.5% reduction in drag compared to the previous model.

Repsol Edition racing colors are available for the first time on the Honda CBR600RR (standard model only). The standard model is available in red, Repsol Edition or white/blue/red. The C-ABS model is only available in red.

RideApart Review: Honda CBR 600RR Repsol Replica (2013)

Here we are again with the revised 2013 Honda CBR600RR . This time we went to a godforsaken place to see how the upgrades work on the track. Honda has always believed that its super sports bikes should function like decent bikes. The real test will be to determine whether this street flex interferes with full track performance.

To recap, a new, simpler body surrounds a slightly revised engine that's designed to provide a little more midrange punch with smoother throttle response. The chassis attracts more attention thanks to new 12-spoke wheels and BPF forks from Showa. The optional ABS system also gets updated tuning to offer improved performance when driving aggressively... like on the highway.

A modest list of changes is the new name of the game for OEMs. Gone are the days when a new sportbike appeared every two years. In today's economy, engineers must make the most of the available platform, which means smart improvements that can extend the life of the model.

Riding Honda CBR 600RR Repsol Replica (2013)

ChuckWalla Valley Raceway is a relatively new addition to the list of racing tracks in Southern California. Unfortunately, it's pretty damn far to the east, in the middle of the desert. But it's also a near-perfect track for a middleweight sportsbike, so it was definitely worth the effort to launch Honda's new CBR600RR .

The CVR is 2.68 miles of corners with multiple radii connecting a couple of short straights. Since the longest straight is only 1,300 feet long, the track rewards corner speed and smart positioning through the various double-apex corners. Elevation changes are minimal except for Turn 9, which is a blind corner as you go over a small ridge. Again, this is an ideal playground for 600 people.

Honda also changed the course of the day a little, all for the better. Instead of the usual huge fleet of new motorcycles, Honda released only half a dozen machines. This gave each rider ample time to become familiar with Honda's technicians, including the experience of the factory team building tires and clipboards. Having only 6 bikes at a time meant we had plenty of room to play. Sticky Dunlop GP - A Dunlop tires were fitted front and rear, ensuring we had plenty of grip.

Unfortunately, this was our first time out in CVR, so the first session was just a matter of figuring out which way the track went. Once we had our bearings, we were able to start riding the bike enough to see how the upgrades played out.

The modified engine is extremely smooth and provides a wide spread of power. There's enough overdrive to make it worth holding onto a gear, but the star of the show is how broad the power curve is, giving good pull even if you want to get into gear at high speed. The fuel injection and transmission worked with watchmaker's precision.

On the base bike the brakes were fantastic. Lots of energy with good feel, zero drift and not too much initial bite. On the ABS version things can get a little looser. The power is still fine, but under heavy braking the computer can intervene quite quickly. This smothered the feeling of braking and stopped you from slowing down until the computer decided it was happy again. There's a ton of sighing in the asphalt on the back stretch to Turn 8, thanks to the guys pounding the ground. Run into those brake bumps and you'll have a brief moment where you're not sure if the bike will be ready to go on time. To CBR's credit, you still deliver the twist with a bit of drama every time. More practice on the ABS bike, I doubt it will slow your laps down until you start getting closer to race pace. (At least you have a choice. In some European markets, the C-ABS model is the only CBR available since 2013.)

The ergonomics can be extremely compact without being cramped, which is a great trick if you can manage it. Adjustable footrests would be a nice addition when you get back outside. The tank is very narrow and the seat is slippery, making it difficult to hold the car with your lower body. And while my 6" 1" frame could easily move around on a bike, there was no way to fit behind that tiny fairing.

Overall, the CBR is like many other Hondas in the classic Goldilocks sense: it's perfect for every need, to the point where it doesn't stand out in any one area. It may not be as sexy as the Triumph Daytona R or as sexy as the new MV triple, but it combines Honda with the ability to let the driver handle the job at hand. We honestly made more notes about the ChuckWalla track than we did about CBR itself.
