Honda CBR Fireblade RR

The 1992 debut of the history-making CBR900RR Fireblade completely rewrote the book of Super Sport motorcycle design. It features a remarkably compact and lightweight configuration based on a ‘Less Is More’ concept that achieved a breathtaking blast of litre-class performance from a 900cc inline-4 engine shoehorned into a highly advanced 600cc-class chassis.

Now, Honda has launched CBR1000RR in India to compete with the likes of Yamaha R1 & Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R. Honda India has also launched the CB1000R to compete with Yamaha's MT-01. Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is a MotoGP race replica with many of its features taken from Honda's top-end racing bikes. The result is a high-performance track and racing superbike that also makes for a perfect street bike.

It borrows many technologies found in the Honda CBR600RR, but has added advancements, such as a reworked chassis and exhaust system, reworked front and rear suspension and a lighter swingarm. The CBR1000RR's strong but light die-cast aluminium chassis has an inverted fork, Unit Pro-Link rear suspension and radial-mounted front brakes. The chassis is a reinforced version of the CBF600's frame, but a longer swingarm gives better traction when accelerating.

Honda's advanced Unit Pro-Link rear suspension completes the impressive list of features and adds to the bike’s impeccable handling. CBR1000RR's fuel-injected 998cc engine is modelled on the Honda Fireblade superbike but has been adapted for road use. The engine is powered by Honda’s advanced Dual Stage Fuel Injection (DSFI) system for superb power and response at all speeds.Sharper looks, stronger performance and astoundingly responsive control.

In order to improve stability under deceleration, a slipper clutch is now available with a unique center-cam-assist mechanism. The Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) has been also revised. Another significant change in latest generation CBR1000RR is the exhaust system which is no longer a center-up underseat design.

In the interest of quicker handling, its under-seat location to be as close as possible to the motorcycle’s center of gravity

and mass, thereby reducing the inertial effects of the system’s weight and mass on the machine’s ability to quickly change directions. CBR1000RR’s powerful radial-mount front disc brakes feature new four-piston brake calipers of a stronger and lighter new monoblock design for an additional 126g (4.4 ounces) of weight reduction per caliper and a much more rigid configuration.

Inside, new chrome-plated aluminum brake pistons replace heavier steel units for an impressive total of 430g (15 ounces) of reduced unsprung weight in the calipers alone. These combine with narrower, lighter brake lines made of a new material and a modified brake-lever ratio to increase braking performance with a livelier, more responsive feel at the brake lever.

From its compact new proportions to its breathtaking response to every rider input, everything about the CBR1000RR stakes out a new standard in motorcycle performance & design aesthetics. It stands as a milestone in the history of litre-class Super Sports development, much as the original CBR900RR did when it fired the first shot in the high-performance revolution sixteen years ago.

CBR1000RR is now more compact than ever before. The new CBR1000RR literally brings literbike handling to new levels. It has been launched at Rs. 12.5 lakhs (Ex-showroom New Delhi) which is almost same to Suzuki Hayabusa which is also available for Rs. 12.5 lakhs but both are costly in comparision to Yamaha R1 which is priced at Rs. 10.5 lakhs.
