Honda's CBR600RR has a surprisingly strong midrange, illustrated by the torque curve's steep climb near 8500 rpm. The horsepower peaks at 105.1 at 13,650 rpm, yielding a wide powerband with a generous overrun to its 15,000-rpm redline. Even though it produces little more than half the torque of the Ducati and about two-thirds the horsepower of the Suzuki, the Honda spreads a very usable amount of power over a relatively broad 6000-rpm range, making it supremely user-friendly and requiring less shifting than you'd think possible on a middleweight
