(Honda/)In recent years, the up-spec CBR1000RR-R Fireblade has received the bulk of attention, bringing Honda into line with the advancements of its competition. The standard CBR1000RR has been a steady presence in the brand’s lineup, however, as it remains a solid option for riders who want a comfortable literbike that’s equally at home on surface streets as it is on the racetrack.The last major overhaul of the platform came in 2017 when Honda shaved a bunch of weight and added 10 more horsepower to the 1,000cc inline-four. Revisions to bodywork and the chassis also resulted in a leaner bike that was noticeably more svelte during our initial ride.While not the most technologically sophisticated sportbike in Honda’s arsenal, the CBR1000RR does provide a number of amenities ranging from selectable torque control, ride-by-wire, a slipper clutch, and an electronic steering damper. Showa suspension is fully adjustable front and rear.It’s also one of the most cost-approachable superbikes in the new motorcycle marketplace, nearly $2,000 less than its rivals at Yamaha and Suzuki and around $1,000 less than Kawasaki’s ZX-10R.2024 Honda CBR1000RR Technical Specifications and Price
