Super sport test.
 

In MCN this week they tested the R6, CBR600RR and D675.

They were all pretty similar in track times (R6 worst CBR best, D675 in the middle). What I was shocked to find out was that the Dry weight of the D675 is 200KG's!!!!! WTF? jeez.

The CBR was 175KG's and R6 185, big difference there then!

Crazy.

Power wise R6 was best with 111BHP, and the D675 and CBR 600 leveled on 107BHP each. Torque was D675 49ft-lb's, CBR 44ft-lb's and R6 43ft-lbs.

Is this where you wade in and compare them all to a Falco again!!!!

You sure it was dry weight? According to Triumph's website, it is 165kg dry, which sounds far more reasonable.

For that extra weight then it keeps up well, I'm sure you could easy do some weight saving though. Unless its a printing mistake.

Re: Super sport test...
 

Having ridden both a Bandit 650 (approx 200kgs) and the 675, there is no way the 675 is that heavy...surely that is a typo?

Re: Super sport test...
 

It is a printing error! Jeez, 200kg is approaching Falco lardyness ;) I think it is about 165/170kg dry

Re: Super sport test...
 

It must be the wet weight or something - the CBR (assuming latest model) is quoted at 155kg dry, not 175kg. Mind you I think 175kg is a tad light for wet on the CBR? Thought it was in the 180s...

Re: Super sport test...
 

Wet weight is going to be dry weight plus, what, 18 litres of fuel, a couple of litres of oil and a litre of coolant? 175kg or so sounds fairly reasonable if it's 155kg dry.

Re: Super sport test...
 

No print error as they say that the 675 gives away 25KG to the CBR. Dont go on claimed weight... they arnt likely to admit it weighs as much as it does... especially that much.

Wet weights were:-

D675 210KG's
CBR600RR 187KG's
R6 191KG's

Dry does liturally mean NO liquids or batteries, this test probably means no fuel looking at the numbers... The battery, Engine oil, fork oil, brake fluid etc etc (factory takes these off for dry weight) can soon add up! This is more like a real world dry weight. :rolleyes:

Also dont compair what they feel like. Because a bike hides its weight well doesnt mean it weigh's less. E.G. an SV isnt much heavier maybe 5KG's than a SS600 but it feels WAY heavier ;)

No wont compair to the Falco... You are welcome to if you like.


175 is dry, 185KG wet for the CBR. 155KG is approaching MotoGP weights... :smt044

Cheers.


Side note, this wasnt a MCN run thing... their Journalist was mearly there. The numbers came from the people running this.

Well, the Honda web site unfortunately is only showing wet weight (184kg for the 600RR, clearly not the dry weight).

I get the feeling any other links will be ridiculed as being wrong :p but here's Wikipedia as an example:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CBR600RR

Dry weight on the RR went down from 164kg to 155kg for the 07 model. Of course I didn't anticipate "dry" and "drier-than-dry" weights! :p
