You have to have a good eye to distinguish this evolution from the Fireblade SP. Its Red Grand Prix HRC decoration suits it admirably, and varies only on tiny points of detail. But no more power, technical changes or surprising advancements – the CBR is obviously keeping this warm for later.. On the other hand, it benefits from updates of these piloting aids. Honda wants to be closer to the user experience, by fine-tuning the electronic package:
– The anti-wheeling and the HSTC are now adjustable separately. In addition, the nose-up control has been recalibrated to ease the “landing” of the front wheel. Three levels of intervention are available.
– The HSTC torque control has been adjusted to be more homogeneous and more precise, making its intervention smoother. It now takes into account the profile of the rear tire
– The ride-by-wire accelerator reacts faster and allows, when gas is released, a lowering of the engine speed reduced by 45%.
– The level of intervention of the ABS has been revised downwards, for sharper and more effective braking.
– The torque delivered during acceleration from mid-range has been increased.
Sometimes it’s the little tweaks that make the difference. These are based on the serious evolution that the CBR 1000 RR experienced in 2017. To summarize, let’s make a quick point: lightened and seriously re-watted engine with a peak power of 192 horsepower, improved chassis, reduced weight free at 196 kilos, sharp silhouette, and electronics finally worthy of it. Its small TFT tablet which serves as its dashboard is teeming with indications, revealing Italian-style technical underwear: traction control, Ride-by-wire, ABS active in bends (and especially lighter), 3 driving modes , wheeling control, anti-stop, engine brake selector, Bosch IMU inertial unit working on 5 axes, triple engine mapping…. That’s all ?!? On the standard Fireblade, yes. But this SP version goes further.
Since the appearance of the name SP, a CBR 1000 RR “premium” is immediately recognizable by its golden and alluring legs. Indeed, Honda dynamically improves its hypersport with a pair of gold-colored aluminum rims relieved by 100 grams. Then the best arrives: Brembo and Ohlins.
By offering the services of the Italian manufacturer, the CBR SP can brake with all the gniak befitting its rank. These are beautiful M4-30 / 32 4-piston radial clamps that bite 320mm discs. Honda did not want to mark the occasion by opting for M50s, which are even more efficient. Reserved for the more exclusive SP2 version? No more. Maybe for the next generation…
Unlike the previous Fireblade SP equipped with passive Ohlins suspensions, the new one is infatuated with proven dynamism. The choice fell on the S-EC semi-active suspension from the Swedish manufacturer. Big top, able to adapt in real time to driving conditions, with all the efficiency and the feeling inherent to the brand. The 43mm NIX 30 inverted fork and TTX shock absorber are linked to the SCU control system, which is in turn linked to the IMU control unit. Continuously informed about the movements of the motorcycle (roll, yaw, tilt) and on the mechanical dynamics (wheel speed, engine speed, throttle opening, force applied to the brakes), the electronics act on the compression and the rebound in order to boost efficiency in each phase of driving. The damping will be adjusted according to whether you are braking, accelerating or on the angle, and according to 3 active modes or 3 manual modes.
In “Active” mode, the pilot can select 3 sub-modes corresponding to several profiles: A1 “Track”, A2 “Sport” and A3 “Comfort”. In addition, in each of these 3 active modes, the settings can be fine-tuned.
In “Manual” mode, sub-modes M1, M2 and M3 allow all possible combinations.
With all this baggage, the Fireblade SP would be able to go to Mars, and even analyze it. All this as quickly as possible, of course.
Coached everywhere by electronics, the SP also makes its small difference with the transplant of the Up & Down shifter (option on the standard CBR), configurable on 3 levels + off, on the ascent as on the descent. It is also distinguished by its titanium tank, which is 1.3 kilos lighter, its weight down to 195 kilos (1 less than the RR) and its slightly brighter decor. The general theme hardly changes, the black bands are swapped for a deep blue, the dark of the frame, swing arm and rear buckle have retreated to let the aluminum express itself, and the passenger footpegs are to absent subscribers.
The Honda CBR 1000 RR Fireblade has improved in many ways; the SP version does the same. More rewarding, better and actively suspended, better equipped, but also much more expensive, this hypersport + is aimed at a more demanding clientele, more accomplished, but who are not yet eyeing a bloody commitment to competition. For this, there is an even more advanced version, eager for competition and more technically typed: the CBR 1000 RR SP2.
