The 2004 season witnessed the introduction of a truly innovative machine: [[Honda]]'s '''CBR®1000RR'''. The big RR represented a landmark break from past sport bikes; rather than following in lockstep with its predecessors, it instead drew from the present state-of-the-art and hurtled headlong into the future. By tapping wholesale into the cutting-edge technology gleaned from within the company's ultra-high-tech [[MotoGP]] racing program, this new design unveiled a whole new era of big-bore [[supersports]] machine. Indeed, the basic DNA of the CBR1000RR sprang forth from the incredible [[Honda RC211V|RC211V]]®, a technological wonder that incorporated exotic and ground-breaking chassis architecture to accomplish its single purpose in life: winning races. | The 2004 season witnessed the introduction of a truly innovative machine: [[Honda]]'s '''CBR®1000RR'''.

Innovative as the new CBR1000RR appeared, its 2004 rollout provided scarcely a pause for Honda's engineers because life in the 1000cc sportbike class revolves around a single, relentless quest: more performance. This unquenchable drive for additional development and more performance continued virtually unabated. So now, only two years later, 2006 brings the next evolutionary step in the life of the 1000RR. To that end, the 2006 CBR1000RR offers advancements in every parameter, with more power, better handling and less weight, thanks to the following changes: | Innovative as the new CBR1000RR appeared, its 2004 rollout provided scarcely a pause for Honda's engineers because life in the 1000cc sportbike class revolves around a single, relentless quest: more performance.

In the ultra-competitive liter-class [[sportbike]] wars there's no time to rest, no free lunch, no easy path to improvement. Which is to say the CBR1000RR's improvement in power output was achieved not with any single change, but rather with a collection of carefully developed modifications that add up to a significant boost in performance. | In the ultra-competitive liter-class [[sportbike]] wars there's no time to rest, no free lunch, no easy path to improvement.
