2006 Honda CBR 600RR Celebrity owned by Tim Allen Only 506 Miles Its not very often that a motorcycle becomes available with such an incredible provenance. Tim Allen is not only a hit television and movie star but he is also an avid car and motorcycle aficionado. He only owns the best and appreciates the rare, hard to find and incredibly optioned items. He is no stranger to motorcycles and we all know how much he is into speed and performance! This CBR600RR is AS CLOSE TO NEW as you can get with only 506 miles. Not only is this sport bike like new but it has a pedigree to boot.......Tim took it to Will Kenefick of Retro SBK, right off the bat, to install a Leo Vince exhaust system along with some tasteful mods. Not only is this motorcycle in excellent condition and owned by a celebrity but it was also featured on Tim’s new hit TV show “Last Man Standing” on ABC. The CBR will come with pictures of the bike with Tim and if the new owner wishes, he is also willing to sign the bike. This is an opportunity to own a sport bike that since it’s introduction has won numerous awards, plus it has won EVERY Supersport World Championship title from 2002 to 2008. Like I mentioned earlier Tim only owns the best! In 2005, the CBR600RR received a major revision with fully adjustable inverted front forks, race inspired disc brakes with radial mounted four piston calipers. Also, it received new bodywork with a new aluminum frame, swing-arm, and rear shock. All this brought the weight down by 22 lbs. and with the increase of the midrange power makes this bike a force to be reckon with! Other than new color schemes the 2006 bikes are the same as the 2005 model. Condition: ONLY 506 miles and like new, does have the check light on due to the exhaust change. History: First unveiled in 2003, the RR carries on the same tradition of phenomenal performance as the CBR600. The RR reaches the highest levels of performance ever available from a middleweight motorcycle. If the original CBR was the purest expression possible of what was then-current technology in inline-four engines, steel frames and single-shock Pro-Link rear suspension, the 600RR pushes back current technological boundaries. That’s because you can also trace a line directly from the RR to Honda’s breakthrough RC211V. That lineage is what makes the CBR600RR a watershed in motorcycling. It takes the latest, world-championship-winning technology, and applies it in real time to a motorcycle that’s available now—not next year, or the year after that. It’s also what makes the CBR600RR the most advanced sport bike Honda has ever produced. One of the central concepts that drove development of the CBR600RR is mass centralization; that is, concentrating the component masses as close to the motorcycle’s center as possible. When a rider initiates a turn, the motorcycle rotates around its roll axis—an imaginary fore-and-aft horizontal line drawn through the center of mass of bike and rider—as it leans into the turn. Placing the major masses (engine, fuel, rider) closer to this roll axis results in a motorcycle that reacts more quickly and smoothly to control inputs at the handlebars. The concept of mass centralization has been a guiding principal at Honda for decades, but the application to the RR takes the concept to a whole new level. Honda engineers looked at the CBR600RR as an organic whole for centralizing mass. Every change, every hard part was related and affected others. Part of the approach calls for lightening as many pieces as possible that are far from the center of mass. That gave rise to the RR’s compact Line-Beam headlights, with their high-illumination three-piece reflectors-another Honda first for use on a production motorcycle; a lighter, more compact wheel hub design; slimline LED taillight; an analog/digital fully electronic instrument panel that’s one of the lightest and slimmest ever mounted on a street bike; plus a host of other changes. The RR excels in the nip-n-tuck of urban survival. It’s tall, light and nimble and has an amazingly broad torque curve and excellent pick up from the traffic lights and multitudes of stop signs that seek to ‘calm’ traffic but are a total nuisance. With a limited fairing the RR is less comfortable on the open highway. Below 100mph the bike is fine and the actual riding position is fairly comfortable, with not too much strain on the wrists. Honda will know all about these minor failings, it’s obvious that the bike wasn’t designed to be a great tourer - they have plenty of those on the fleet and non have RR decals on the tail. Compared to the 2003 model, the new CBR 600RR received a major revision with new body work, fully adjustable inverted front forks, a set of track-inspired disc brakes with radial-mounted four-piston calipers, and an entirely new aluminum frame, swing arm and rear shock. These changes along with additional refinements to the engine and exhaust system all came together to bring CBR600RR’s weight down nine pounds.
