Honda CBR1000RR

Performance and style. No two elements are more important on a sportbike, and the Honda CBR1000RR has them both in spades. Of course, when a bike is bred on the racetracks of the world using DNA gleaned from Honda’s MotoGP championship-winning machines, would you expect anything but the best? And the CBR backs it up, packing state-of-the-art features like our available Electronic Combined Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS) and the revolutionary Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) that leave other literbikes on the trailer. Winning Road Racing World’s “2009 1000cc Shootout” merely confirmed the CBR1000RR’s supremacy, with 2010 certain to continue its legacy of class-defining power, light weight, handling and looks.

TYPE: 999cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder
GEARBOX: Close-ratio six-speed
