The CBR600RR was developed from and inspired by the [[Honda RC211V]] [[MotoGP]] bike. The similarities in appearance between the CBR600RR and RC211V are obvious and intentional. Underneath these looks lie MotoGP technologies that were never before seen on a production [[Motorcycle]] such as the Unit Pro-Link rear suspension and Dual Stage Fuel Injection (PGM-DSFI). Both were taken directly from Honda's MotoGP bike. While it's not uncommon for street bikes to utilize racing technology, this is the first time such totally new technologies found their way to the production line the same year they made their way to the professional racing grid. When released in 2003 with its advanced braced swingarm, center-up exhaust system, and more agressive riding position, it was the first Honda supersport bike to be developed as a race machine first, hence the "RR" designation for "race replica". The 2003 model carried over to 2004 technically unchanged, but with new color schemes. | The CBR600RR was developed from and inspired by the [[Honda RC211V]] [[MotoGP]] bike.
