Combining a precise, refined chassis with a one-of-a-kind engine, the CBR1000RR is smooth and polished enough to be an excellent daily ride while at the same time offering racetrack-honed performance. And while so many other motorcycles insulate you from the riding experience, the CBR1000RR’s spectacular inline-four flat-crank engine, delivers visceral, analog power. Aerodynamic bodywork that works as good as it looks—and as you can see, it looks spectacular.
Features may include:
PERFORMANCEFeaturing high-compression pistons, the CBR1000RR revs like only a flat-plane inline-four can. It also makes ten horsepower more than our previous generation CBR1000RR.
The CBR1000RR features two sets of injectors per cylinder for both low- and high-rpm performance, instantaneous high-rpm response and great low-rpm metering and clean running. Refined EFI settings make the engine even more manageable, with smoother throttle response specifically at smaller throttle openings.
HANDLINGThe CBR1000RR ABS comes with anti-lock brakes. But these brakes go one better, including rear-wheel lift analysis (think hard stopping here), along with a program that takes lean angle into account.
Almost a full pound lighter than our previous generation, the CBR1000RR sub-frame further refines our mass centralization efforts. Light is always right, and this is the lightest CBR1000RR we’ve ever produced.
The CBR1000RR is much slimmer than previous generations in the tank/seat junction area, and also in the upper cowl (more than 24mm trimmer than the previous generation). This improves aerodynamics, and the narrow tank makes it easier for the rider to tuck in out of the wind.
ENGINEERINGTFT means an instrument display that’s lighter and easier to read than previous LCD designs.
Superbikes can deliver a great deal of back-torque through the driveline, upsetting the handling—not the CBR1000RR models. Its Honda-designed assisted slipper clutch is the same type used on our MotoGP bikes. The design does away with the need for heavy clutch springs, ensuring full power transmission with smooth shifting and a light clutch pull at the lever.
Almost an inch narrower than on our previous generation CBR1000RR, the radiator features a high-density core. Plus, it tucks in tighter and cools just as efficiently.
