Honda opens bookings for new CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, SP

Honda has started accepting bookings for the 2020 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade and Fireblade SP in India. The bikes will be imported as completely built units (CBU) and deliveries will commence by the end of August 2020. Honda has not announced the price or the booking amount.

The 2020 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade was unveiled at EICMA in 2019. The bike is based on a new aluminium chassis and features aero winglets that were developed on Honda's MotoGP bike. The fuel tank is also positioned lower for a more compact riding position. The bike gets a new 5-inch digital instrument cluster, stepped seat and a single, side-mounted titanium exhaust.

Powering the CBR1000RR-R is a new 999cc, in-line 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that produces 215 BHP @ 14,500 rpm and 113 Nm @ 12,500 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox via a slipper clutch. The Fireblade SP comes equipped with a quickshifter and an Akrapovic exhaust as standard.

The CBR1000RR-R features a 43 mm Showa upside down fork suspension at the front and a Showa monoshock at the rear. Braking is handled by dual 330 mm discs with 4-piston calipers at the front and a single 220 mm disc with a 2-piston caliper at the rear. The Fireblade SP gets Ohlins electronic suspension and Brembo Stylema brake calipers.
