Test: Honda CB 1000 RR Fireblade SP: Road Racer with manners
May it be a Hisschen anymore? In her recent edition, there is a popular version called SP from the Honda CB 1000 RR Fireblade. The pure single-seat blows with high quality components to the storm to the top of the super athletes.
Since 1992 Honda sold more than 450 from his fireblade worldwide.000 copies, alone in Europe over 200.000. Who does not give the 133 kW / 181 hp of the 2014 Honda CB 1000 RR Fireblade, which reaches the Sephate SP variant with "State of the Art" claim. At 15.190 euros begins the pleasure with the fastest of all Hondas.
Almost 200 hp at 200 kilos
The recipe for success is known: nearly 200 hp performance at around 200 kilos of combat weight. In other words, a fabulous power weight of good 1 kg / hp – the current Formula 1 does not have much more. But Honda is not limited to his recent firblade to turn only on the power and weight screw. Rather, high-quality components for a special performance should ensure good-natured handling, especially at the top model Fireblade SP. This race unit focuses on the hunt after lap times on a circular route, without having to leave the ride there on public roads completely out.
Both fork bridges of the fireblade were revised for higher rigidity on the SP, and the sturdy chamber jo hole is made of steel instead of aluminum. Nevertheless, it is easier overall than the basic model. MotoGP technology ensures precise driving behavior and good feedback on the rear swing. In contrast to the general trend in the super athletes, Honda‘s road racer comes without driving modes, traction control or switchgautomat.
Caution with the tires
Extremely adhesive Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires on golden alloy wheels bring the power of the in the inlet row cylinder on the asphalt. In the race tires for the road should definitely be the temperature before you go to limit. In addition, the seating position: The footrests are placed in the back compared to the Fireblade at the SP for a centimeter later. The handlebar drape reach a degree deeper and five degrees forward. Further components emphasize the racetrack feeling on the SP – to high-speed brimmed wind disk, in whose development it was more about aerodynamics than optimal wind protection in everyday life. The electronically controlled Combined-ABS is still not switchable, but in the SP specifically matched to the race track use. The control intervals fall such supple that no pulsation can not be sensed on the brake lever.
Motorcycle meets racers on the face
Machine becomes a bullet: motorcycle meets racers on the face
The 15-valve DOHC engine of the Fireblade received a new cylinder head for the 2014 vintage. In addition, Honda has further improved the flow behavior in the inlet and outlet channels. There are also experience from the Superbike World Cup, which benefit more sporty bikers on the new Fireblade. The optimized performance yield sums up to 2 kW more top performance compared to the predecessor vintage: 133 kW / 181 hp at 12.250 / min.
More torque
The torque curve has between 4.000 and 6.000 / min clearly added, the maximum thrust of 114 nm is 10.500 / min. At the SP, handpicked connecting rods and pistons are installed, which are at most one gram in weight. This not only promotes super-sporting revenge, but also everyday paper.
The Honda CB 1000 RR Fireblade drives so extreme as needed as your paper shape can expect. Already in the stand, she receives her pilot with uncompromisingly athletic seating position, which can lead to tense wrists, for example because of the low-lying handlebar, – to such an ergonomics you have to get used to first. Here, the super-sporting Honda with road approval is even more extreme than the BMW S 1000 RR . The harder seat cushion of the SP contributes to this. After all, the knew angles are relatively generous.
In the cam slopes, the Fireblade SP is extremely agile and precise, but demands significantly emphasis to dive into ever more sluggish down. When accelerating, the very well-graded transmission is positively noticeable. And the four-cylinder Saust from about 4 after behavior start.500 / min Schier unstoppable to the speed limiter. In total, the Fireblade SP gives an extremely impressive performance. The lack of traction control lets it appear quite high priced compared to the competition. But their extremely predictable power output relativizes this.
