The '''CBR600F2''''91 Super Sport was sold in 1991 in two color schemes: Ross White with Fighting Red or Black with Real Blue, Light Blue, and Pink. The bike had "60" series radial tires. The bike rated 100 hp (up from 7 hp from 1990). The engine and chassis had a new design. The engine was a 599cc [[DOHC]] 16 valve liquid-cooled inline four cylinder linked to a 6-speed transmission. The serial number began JH2PC250*MM000008 | The '''CBR600F2''''91 Super Sport was sold in 1991 in two color schemes: Ross White with Fighting Red or Black with Real Blue, Light Blue, and Pink.

Honda redesigned the CBR from the contact patches up to create the class-leading F2. A lighter and more compact inline-four engine pumped out an astonishing 100 horsepower, thanks to more [[oversquare]] dimensions, bigger carbs, higher compression and significant reductions in internal friction. A stiffer frame, shorter wheelbase, revalved suspension, stronger brakes and [[RC30]]-style wheels gave the bike handling manners to match. Once again the CBR600 was the lightest, quickest and most powerful middleweight the world had seen. | Honda redesigned the CBR from the contact patches up to create the class-leading F2.

Honda introduced a new model, the F3 in 1995. The CBR600F3'95 Super Sport was sold in 1995 in one of two color schemes: Black with Uranus violet and Chartreuse Yellow or Ross White with Uranus Violet and Chartreuse Yellow. The bike had a dual-stage air induction system and a plastic headlight. The serial number began JH2PC250*SM400009 | Honda introduced a new model, the F3 in 1995.

Increasing sophistication marked the fourth variation of Honda's middleweight champ. The F3 got stronger via a Dual-Stage Ram Air system, more compact [[combustion chamber]]s with a higher [[compression ratio]], a computer-controlled 3D-mapped ignition and a comprehensive program to reduce internal engine friction. Again, a retuned chassis, including freshly recalibrated suspension systems and bigger brakes, helped the F3 keep its handling edge, while still maintaining class-leading livability on the street. | Increasing sophistication marked the fourth variation of Honda's middleweight champ.
