20 January 2014 - Honda's one-off, track-focused
CBR1000RR SP will be delivered to a selected few complete with the
option of Team Honda Racing's Motologic race set-up. For an
incredibly affordable package price, each CBR1000RR SP can be sent
to the headquarters of Team Honda Racing for personalised
suspension set-up and dyno tuning.
Due for arrival into Australia in March 2014+, the CBR1000RR SP
will be available in strictly limited numbers. For information
regarding the availability of this special edition motorcycle
please contact Honda Customer Relations on (03) 9270 1348 or
customer.relations@hondampe.com.au
In what is an incredibly unique offer, the Team Honda Racing
mechanics will tailor the set-up of each CBR1000RR SP to the
individual requirements of each customer and provide a certificate
with the details of the dyno reading and suspension set-up to
assist with future servicing. This race set-up option is available
for $1,499^ which is in addition to the CBR1000RR SP's MLP\* of
$22,499.
With anticipation high for this one-off Honda development, the
CBR1000RR SP boasts Öhlins front and rear suspension, Brembo
mono block front brake callipers and a single seat unit. With an
aggressive track stance, Honda's road-legal CBR1000RR SP offers
more balanced handling than ever before.
The 999.8cc inline, four-cylinder engine shares the same updated
cylinder head as the standard 2014 CBR1000RR Fireblade, along with
improved inlet/exhaust gas flow and combustion efficiency, and an
extra peak power boost.
The CBR1000RR SP's die-cast aluminium twin-spar frame is based
on that of the standard machine, with modifications to match the
Öhlins suspension. As on the CBR1000RR the aluminium gull-wing
swingarm operates through MotoGP-derived Unit Pro-Link rear
suspension. Fully adjustable, the 43mm inverted fork and rear shock
were developed specifically for the CBR1000RR SP to offer superbly
balanced all-round performance.
Brembo mono block four-piston callipers were chosen because of
their compatibility and performance potential with the Öhlins
fork. The calliper body is standard but Brembo manufactured special
pistons for use in the new machine, with pad material designed to
give consistent and linear feel when braking hard from high
speed.
Cutting a striking form on the track or road, Honda's CBR1000RR
SP with its sleek single seat unit, features unique Tricolour
livery that is complemented by Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP gold
tyres.
The strictly limited CBR1000RR SP model will only be available
once, be quick to secure yours today.
