The 1999 CBR600F4 was a ground-up redesign and the biggest change in the CBR600 line since 1987: a new aluminium twin-spar frame replaced the steel one, and the engine got a bigger bore, shorter stroke, larger valves and a higher rev ceiling for about 110 hp. Weight dropped substantially, it gained four-piston front calipers and a wider 180-section rear tyre. It tied with Yamaha's R6 in contemporary shootouts, praised as the more versatile of the two.
