Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade unveiled

Honda has unveiled the 2020 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade at EICMA 2019.

The 2020 Fireblade is based on a new aluminium frame. It measures 2,100 mm in length, 745 mm in width, 1,140 mm in height and has a wheelbase of 1,455 mm.

The 2020 Fireblade features new LED headlights with a ram-air duct in the centre. The redesigned fairing incorporates winglets similar to those found on Honda's MotoGP bike. The fuel tank is 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 bike features 43 mm Showa upside down front forks 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 CBR1000RR-R comes with launch control, ABS and traction control with 9 settings.
