2021 Honda CBR1000 RR - R Fireblade SP Superb Corner-carving Superbike

The Honda CBR1000 RR - R Fireblade SP is the embodiment of decades of racing history and development. Its wonderful balance of power, chassis, and tech make it a superb corner-carving superbike. The CBR1000 Triple R is a new 2021 model for the US although it is pegged as a 2020 model in Europe. This limited-production CBR1000 triple R Fireblade SP retails for $28,500.

When we tested Honda’s superbike on our in-house dyno, the US-spec Fireblade measured 165.4 hp at 12,000 rpm and 74.6 pound-feet of torque at 10,580 rpm at the rear wheel. The 999cc inline-four engine has been modified to be supremely compact and lightweight thanks to its engineers trickling down tech from Honda’s MotoGP efforts with the RCV.
