I have found that most 12v RRs will work on most bikes. My Aprilia RR toasted itself two years ago. An OEM one was $150USD. I scrolled through an online market place for a 12v RR which had the same connectors as mine. I found one for a Honda for $30USD.
When it arrived I had to swap around one wire. It even had the exact shape and mounting holes as my original. It's been in the bike for two years now without a problem. I bought a second one as a back up in case this one failed. The second one is still in it's box in my little workshop.
You could buy the one for the CBR 600 - you might just have to swap out the connectors from your old one to your new one. The fact that it fits so many models tells me that it's generic except for the connectors.
Many years ago my Ducati 860GTe's RR died. None available locally. After talking to a mate who worked in a boat shop, I ended up fitting an Evinrude V6 (I think) outboard's RR - worked fine. I just had to make a little copper heat sink for it.
