HONDA CBR1000RR FIREBLADE SP CBR1000S1J2ED (18MY)

Honda CBR1000RR- Fireblade SP

The Honda Fireblade SP goes to the next stage of Total Control. Power to weight ratio is improved by 14% - reaching the best level ever for the Fireblade - thanks to a 15 kg weight reduction and 10.7 bhp power boost. The SP is the first Honda motorcycle to be equipped with Öhlins S-EC suspension front and rear: a 43 mm NIX30 fork and TTX36 shock. In another first for mass production Honda has developed a compact 16 litre titanium fuel tank for the Fireblade SP. Brembo four-piston monobloc radial mount brake calipers use newly developed high-mu brake pads – these have a greater performance parameter at higher temperatures than standard pads, and suit aggressive riding. The SP has three rider user modes known as 'Fast, Fun and Safe' (Fast is for the track, Fun is for the winding roads, Safe is for city riding) and can be adjusted by flicking a switch on the left handlebar switchgear. This system controls 3 key variables of the Fireblade's performance; engine power, traction control and engine braking. Crowned with a sharply angled logo, the Fireblade SP will be available in a Tricolour paint that uses Grand Prix Red as its base and pays homage to Honda’s racing tradition and history.
