2012 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade

A new Honda.

-Info-

It's been 20 years since Honda first unleashed the CBR900RR on the unsuspecting world, and to mark the occasion, the manufacturer has unveiled the 2012 CBR1000RR Fireblade at the Endurance World Championship at Le Mans and the 2011 World Superbike Championship in Imola, Italy.

The new bike packs a revised fairing, complete with a fresh nose and reworked tail section, but the really fun bits are still under the plastic. Honda has implemented an all-new rear shock design with dual-tubes that supposedly offer a smoother and faster response over the old hardware. Up front, the CBR1000RR works with 43-millimeter telescopic front forks.

Engineers also reworked the engine's fuel-injection mapping for a smoother idle and easier operation lower in the rev band. A set of new gauges and two 12-spoke wheels wrap up the changes over the 2011 model.

@DkM210gr what are you talking about? what are disagreeing with? the name fireblade? how can you disagree with something that isnt somebody's opinion? its a name. its a name given to hondas liter bikes for the past 20 years. and its far from the best bike. its quite impressive, but far from "the best bike" is your comment even saying anything? my brain nearly exploded when i read that. then i realized that youre either not a motorcyclist, or you dont speak english as your first language.
