2008 Honda CBR600RR HANNspree
Introduction
Now in its fifth year of production, the CBR600RR has
firmly established itself as both a winner on the streets
and a dominating force on the racetracks of the world.
A mid-displacement Super Sports favourite renowned
for its peerless combination of aggressive performance
and comfortable riding ease, the CBR600RR and its
immediate predecessor, the CBR600F Sport, have
together garnered an astounding six consecutive World
Supersport championships in the capable of hands of
privateer team Ten Kate Racing and its extraordinary
riders.
Over the years, the Ten Kate Racing team has enjoyed
phenomenal success attained through hard work and
steadfast determination, culminating this year in new
rider Kenan Sofuoglu’s record-setting capture of
the 2007 World Supersport crown at Brands Hatch
circuit with three more races left in the season. This
impressive victory has been especially significant as it
was accomplished aboard the totally new thirdgeneration
CBR600RR, proving its dominating
performance potential right out of the box.
Over the last six years and four generations of
Honda CBR600 supremacy, the following Ten Kate
riders have ridden to victory in the World Supersport
championship for complete domination of the series:
• 2002 — Fabien Foret (CBR600F Sport)
• 2003 — Chris Vermeulen (CBR600RR)
• 2004 — Karl Muggeridge (CBR600RR)
• 2005 — Sébastien Charpentier (CBR600RR)
• 2006 — Sébastian Charpentier (CBR600RR)
• 2007 — Kenan Sofuoglu (CBR600RR)
Simultaneously, in this year’s exciting World Superbike
championship, the same HANNspree Ten Kate
Honda team is currently leading the series with
the remarkable James Toseland powering his
CBR1000RR Fireblade through wet and dry to take
a commanding lead heading into the final stretch to
the end of the season. Achieving a remarkable rate of
success in hard-fought battles against formidable racing
competition, rider, team and Honda CBR are setting
the stage for even greater victories to come.
