Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP (2020) Review | Sound Engine | Visordown.com

The latest version of the iconic Honda Fireblade is a bike that the factory hope will put the bike back on the top-step in the world's superbike racing championships.
But to make a Fireblade that can compete with the 200bhp+ machines from the likes of BMW, Aprilia, and Ducati, Honda has had to build the most aggressive, most powerful and most technologically advanced Fireblade to date. Has it lost any of that Fireblade charm? Find out here!

10k better than a GSXR 1000R ??

[@robertprosser6856]

I'd say the Suzuki will be far superior on the road at least!

[@SousukeAizen421]

the dyno is already out for this bike, this bike produces about 204.9 hp on dynojet, that's a lot more horsepower than stock gsx r1000r

[@flamingfiyah5972]

D C ...... really?? I beg to differ!!

[@rakeshkumarnayak8712]

@@robertprosser6856 not really. Suzuki is as faster and powerfull as Honda but this new fireblade is just awesome. This Honda Fireblade 1000RR R is way better than Suzuki GSX1000R.

[@robertprosser6856]

@@rakeshkumarnayak8712 I doubt that when it comes to riding on the road. The Suzuki has colossal midrange grunt whereas this fireblade is asthmatic until about 11K rpm! Also Suzuki is one of the most comfortable superbikes with much better ergonomics and then there's the price point! The Suzuki can be bought for £11K new whereas the base model fireblade is £20K!

[@embermbee756]

Yeah

[@orishaphotos481]

In reference to a comment made between time stamp 7:00-7:05 I get the technical sentiment of having electronic input on a riders efforts but the greatest challenge to ones skill is to go full manual without electronic input, it shouldn't be an issue that you "don't like", rather, your inability to handle the bike without electronic input should be considered an exposure of weaknesses in your riding ability that can be improved on. Riding with nature, raw forces.

[@Kkessler654]

Im sure this bike is amazing and the best fireblade yet. However, for this price most will choose a ducati V4S, Aprilia rsv4 1100 and even the R1M . If you wanted to make a near $30,000 USD bike, you should have finally given us the motogp inspired v4

And its got new acrapovic exausht damn honda i just got cbr1000r 2017 😪and its so much different looklike and power

[@booger65man]

What I am told is there will be 48 coming to the US in June and possibly another 48 late year November timeframe. Only tier 1 Honda dealers and not all of them are even getting an allocation. I am in Denver, Colorado and the only tir 1 dealer on the front range here is talking about marking up the price $10,000 if the market will bear it. Not sure what Honda is thinking on this one but it looks like I’ll be going a different direction unfortunately.

[@booger65man]

@mafic 09 Peak Honda... I was very surprised when I was told about their "market adjustment". In addition most every dealer on the front range add ~$300 on top of the price of the bike for dealer charges. This dealer adds $1300. I had never dealt with them before and doubt I will be going forward. Very unfortunate as they appear to be the only dealer who is getting one and apparently plan on gouging the buyer as much as they can knowing that. Not a good look for Honda Corporate that their dealers behave this way. Rant off...

[@SEEMERIDECOM]

Not only is the price $28500, but for the US model HP is cut to 186 at the crank. No thank you!!

[@altarace]

@@SEEMERIDECOM what is the source of HP cut for the US claim?

[@SEEMERIDECOM]

@@altarace their data sheet from my Honda dealer and confirmed by a Honda rep at the Cleveland Motorcycle show this past weekend. Asked them several times and they confirmed to meet EPA and sound limits it is 186 BHP at the crank for the USA.

[@booger65man]

That really doesn’t concern me as I would guess that limitation can be removed with a simple ECU flash

[@teweigamer8932]

Very nice

[@casperi2]

Nice review very well done. That said I don't think any "dealer" is going to let someone walk in the door and take a sp for a test ride. They may only get one as that version is very limited release and only the lucky dealers will get one.

[@visordown]

casperi2 not sure that’s true, the SP2 in previous years has been limited, the SP this time will not be so much - so I’m told.

[@pistolpete6321]

If I had that kind of money I think I’d plunk it down on a Ducati Panigale V4. Great review!

[@visordown]

it's a tough decision. It'd come down to heart or head. I wouldn't want that choice!

[@pistolpete6321]

[@Tracked350Z]

My biggest concern. Have they finally moved away from Alusil on the cylinder walls? That literally is what plagued them to no end on the previous model CBR'S and from someone who had 2 2012 CBR 1000 engines blow, it concerns me. The Alusil cylinder walls are weak compared to the Kawasaki's which are coated with electrofusion and having 1st hand experience with both engines; it's a huge difference. After 27k miles on my ZX10R, cylinder bores look great after tear down inspection. On my CBR, after 10k miles, the cylinder walls were scored and the cylinder was scrapped due to extreme amounts of wear. The DLC coating sounds nice, but really after hard miles will it last?
