The correct definition is Super sports are 600 CC sport bikes, as raced in the AMA. As such supersports are one class of sport bikes, while the term "sport bike" encompasses supersports and other sizes of "sport bikes" Sports bikes are generally racing replkicas and has the rider hunched over the tank riding position.

Sports bikes are up to 900 cc
Super sports are 900cc and above
All are based on the sport RACE style
So CBR900 fire blade is a sports CBR1000rr super sports
Ninja 900 sports Ninja 1000.1100.1200 super sports
Genesis 750 sports Genesis 1000 or R1 super sports
get the picture

Sports 400 cc are usually small short compact 70+ bhp light fast bikes
Sports 600cc are usually tight race developed road bikes 100+ bhp capable of high speeds
Sports 600+ to 900 cc are slightly bigger more BHP and a bit more aggressive
Super sports 1000cc + are 140+ bhp ( usually up to 200) are up to 300 kmph speed capable and high acceleration. Longer less Sleek and slower turning than the smaller bikes, capable of carrying two up for as long as your back shoulders and @rse can take it.
