project Manager Yuzuru Ishikawa says for a Japanese atypical self-confident: “We have built the new CBR to win!” Honda strikes with new CBR1000RR-R Fireblade and their uncompromising alignment for the race track a new way. A way that the competitors are already gone successfully. On the question of which race series, the focus was in the development of the CBR, making Ishikawa a clear message: “We want to win all the racing series. From floor sports over long distance up to the Superbike world championship. Easy all!”
the CBR has been designed completely new. Only the engine concept with four cylinders in series was taken over from the previous model SC77. The new unit is designed to be very kurzhubig and top performance at high speeds trimmed numbers. The Honda engine 217 HP at 14’500 rpm and 113 Nm at 12’500 rpm, which makes him the strongest non-turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 1000 CC. In spite of Euro 5, we are amazed by the imposing backdrop of sound – Akrapovic-exhaust system, thank.
High-speed
to pay Through your track-alignment loses the Fireblade a bit of their playful maneuverability and easy driveability. The more stability of designed Geometry and the immense power demand is physically clear from the pilots. However, the Blade gives him confidence. The Ride-by-Wire is the Gasbefehle directly, the engine converts the commands in a gentle speech. However, the new CBR engine provides pay the brute feed only at high speeds. Up to around 10’000/min, the predecessor, had to contend more power to the crankshaft. But the late fireworks to burn the CBR is nice and linear, which makes 217 HP can be well controlled. On the racetrack is nothing like speed, which is why this interpretation is reasonable. Who’s driving the New but on the road, is likely to miss the torque of the SC77 something.
Electronic chassis
the braking performance of The Bremo-Pliers is top, the pressure point to support the noble Stylema-Monoblocs is rather soft. This means that more braking power is generated by a little more way on the brake lever. Fading? No trace, even after several rounds and more than 300 km/h. The significantly more developed ABS allows the driver to have the upper hand, only for very dedicated journey, it’s noticeable. The assistance systems are convincing: No sudden dropouts due to the wheelie control to tarnish the fun of driving. Barely noticeable, the torque curve is revised slightly downwards, while the “Triple-R” presses ahead steadfastly forward. The traction control regulates in nine Sensitivity are fine. The electronic suspension feels like a pit crew, meets every desire. The three driving modes can be freely changed. And anyone who takes the time to adapt his Fireblade perfectly to your needs.
conclusion
The 23’980 CHF is CBR (SP: 28’420 Fr.) made with the same engine concept a huge step in development. Your advantages of plays thanks to the Plus at high speeds on the race track. Finally there also to the electronics, nothing wrong with that. And so the new, significantly faster Fireblade can actually win it all.
