The 600RR does feel like a bit of a disappointment to me. It was redesigned almost completely in 2007, immediately jumped to the head of the class, but has steadily fallen backwards as time passes. This minor redesign for 2013 is still so itty-bitty, that you wonder how much of its development budget is still aimed at its supersport bikes. At this rate, the 2015 model 600RR will not be significantly different from the 2007 model. Compare that to where Honda's 600 was in 1999, and how far it came to get to that 2007 iteration.
