23 February 2011 - Honda's revolutionary CBR1000RR has been released for 2011 in Graphite Black and Honda Racing Corporation colours.

Hailed as the most popular sportsbike of all time, Honda's CBR1000RR Fireblade has established new standards for light weight, superlative handling, remarkably compact dimensions and exceptional performance.

With few changes necessary for the 2011 model release, Honda has focused energy on the production of new graphics and fresh colours and allowed the CBR1000RR to remain the yardstick to which all others are compared.

The classic colours of the Honda Racing Corporation complement the race-ready profile of the Fireblade and emphasise the high-performance components while the Graphite Black accentuates the sleek speed of the high powered machine.

Honda's high-tech electronically controlled Combined ABS are an option on the Graphite Black to ensure the ultimate in sophisticated sportsbike braking performance.

Producing immense levels of power with its super-light, liquid-cooled 4 stroke engine the CBR1000RR retains smoothness and refinement along with a crisp throttle response allowing the rider precisely the level of acceleration they require at any moment.

Combine the Fireblade's remarkable chassis, compact dimensions and excellent weight distribution and it is easy to understand why Honda's CBR1000RR is building a reputation as the ultimate road-going sportsbike.

It's a Honda and every rider knows to expect full-blooded extreme performance.

Available from Honda dealers nationally, CBR1000RR retails at $17,990 and with e-CABS at $18,990 (plus on road costs).
