2018 Honda® CBR1000RR SP

2018 Honda® CBR1000RR SP

Superbikes are always evolving. A big engine and major horsepower used to be enough. But the CBR1000RR and the CBR1000RR SP take things a step further. Both bikes are supremely nimble, incredibly powerful, and undeniably fast, carving up streets and canyons alike. And if you're more the track type, our limited CBR1000RR SP adds premium Öhlins electronic suspension, Brembo brakes, a titanium muffler, and more. No matter which one you choose, you'll be on one of the most exciting literbikes we've ever built.

Features may include:

• HI-PERFORMANCE FOUR-CYLINDER ENGINE

Featuring high-compression 13:1 pistons, the CBR1000RR revs like only a flat-plane inline-four can. It also makes ten horsepower more than our previous generation of CBR1000RR.

• DUAL-STAGE FUEL INJECTION

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.

• LIGHTWEIGHT SUB-FRAME

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.

• SLIMMER ERGONOMICS

The CBR1000RR is much slimmer than previous models in the tank/seat junction area, and also in the upper cowl (more than 24mm trimmer). This improves aerodynamics, and the narrow tank makes it easier to tuck in.

• THIN FILM TRANSFER DISPLAY

TFT means an instrument display that’s lighter and easier to read than previous LCD designs. It’s a first for Honda, and it’s made its premiere on the CBR1000RR.
