For 1989 the first-generation CBR600 dropped the Hurricane name and became simply the CBR600F. Revised porting, cam timing, pistons and exhaust, higher compression and new Keihin carburettors lifted output by around ten horsepower, while the look and chassis stayed much the same. It remained a strong seller and a frequent winner in 600 SuperSport racing.
