Recently, Honda broke the news that CBR600RR may not continue to develop new models, which means that the career of this legendary sports car has come to an end, and Kawasaki's ZX-6R has not been redesigned for many years. Only Yamaha insisted on launching a small modified R6, but it was just a small fight, which could not be regarded as a complete replacement product. Why are Japanese manufacturers collectively no longer interested in the 600CC imitation competition?
In fact, the reason why the previous 600CC model has strong vitality is because the price is cheaper than the Volkswagen upgraded version, the power is well controlled, and the car is light and well controlled. So there are many 600CC imitation racing cars on the market.
However, with the development of science and technology, most upgraded imitations are equipped with a variety of electronic auxiliary devices, such as traction control system and anti-tilting head system. The upgraded imitations that consumers found difficult to control in the past seem to be much easier to control now, and another bad news of the 600CC level is that this level is also a highly competitive market. In order to win the competition, even 600CC imitations put performance and control first. By reducing the weight of the car, increasing the configuration and improving the performance and handling, the manufacturer found that the cost of producing a 600CC imitation race was not much lower than that of a Volkswagen upgraded imitation race. Of course, profit is the most concerned thing for businessmen. Without profit, they lose the motivation to continue production.
Another unfavorable news of the 600CC class imitation of the team is that due to the increasingly strict emission regulations, in order to ensure that the power advantage is not offset by the emission regulations, either reduce the power output or increase the displacement to maintain the same power as before. The first is a dead end, which is basically impossible. If you know that the power output of Yamaha's new R6 is actually 7 horsepower less than that of the old one, you will understand that this is tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall. Second, increasing the displacement means increasing the cost, not simply expanding the cylinder bore. Many related equipment needs to be redesigned and tested, and the cost has gone up.
Therefore, the imitation of 600CC is now facing an embarrassing situation, and it can't be entered or returned.
If these two topics are mainly selected, the suggestion of the title of ancient general is to choose RI. There is actually little difference in fuel consumption for any maintenance fee, but R 1 for performance configuration is more worth your money. Personal suggestions for your reference.
