Honda CBR1000rr 2012


The CBR1000RR, also known as the Fireblade, is a 999 cc (61.0 cu in) liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder sport bike that was introduced by Honda in 2004 to replace the CBR954RR.

During the 2012 Honda Fireblade motorcycle is not a totally new era for a number of updated components occur - especially in the suspension department - that improve the CBR1000RR is already easy to drive the 'planning.Price from $ 18 490 for the standard model and
$ 19 490 for the ABS model, the new Honda CBR1000RR is still one of the easiest liter class bikes, throw a leg over and difficult to install.It 'true that there can be the most modern of his motorcycle in its class - a Kawasaki ZX-10R multi-skilled driving aids, for example - but at the national launch at Phillip Iceland I set my fastest lap only for the second meeting, the proof of the bicycle frame forgiveness.Celebrating its 20 th anniversary, it would have been nice to have a completely new bike, Honda, an advantage that perhaps some of the design elements on the VFR1200F and Crosstourer seen, but to see the updated coverage and a few small changes in the intake system and mapping will be enough fuel for the interests of existing owners and newcomers and wake up.Improved formulaLaunched in 1992, the Fireblade 893cc was a revolution, while the new 2012 Fireblade for more than a '"evolving" Glyn Griffiths, National Marketing Director, Honda Australia. As such, Honda has built on the formula, rather than revised, maintaining the framework and the geometry of its predecessor during the addition of new elements of suspension and fine tuning of power delivery.While the front-end becomes the new Showa Big Piston forks (GMP), I do not think there is too much difference with the front of the tower or touch, even if before the end of a dive brake suddenly seems a bit ' less common than previous models, we have tested.The steering damper is on its predecessor and uses it to improve your driving speed, and works well on the road.The brakes are the same as before (two 320 mm discs with radial-mount four-piston caliper, 220 mm rear disc with single dish) are established, although the combined ABS is calibrated so that the rear brake is longer both before of the race. I have not noticed much on the line, but then was not really with the rear brake.The rear shocks for 2012 has been updated, now the balance damper free, including Showa, which is designed to improve the transition between the train and the bounce. The objective was to improve surveillance of streets and a wider range of adjustment and it appears that Honda has achieved this goal, the back Fireblade felt much more than the previous version, which was a big confidence boost that previously gas of the curve for the connection.The wheels are new, thus avoiding the three races of the 2011 model to 12 races, which cost a bit 'harder to improve rigidity.
