The Honda Fireblade rocked the Superbike world when we introduced it 30 years ago. And now it’s time to crack open some champagne. For 2022, we’re producing a special anniversary version of the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, with special graphics. But there’s way, way more than that. We’ve reshaped the engine’s intake ports for higher mixture velocity and to boost midrange performance. A new throttle-return spring increases throttle linearity. Fine tuning our HSTC calibration with data from our World Superbike racers makes it even more seamless, and we’ve also made the quick-shift mechanism even quicker, for fewer engine-speed fluctuations. Finally, the front brakes feature new piston materials and surface treatment for better braking under load. All in all, the most awe-inspiring sportbike in our lineup is even better this year. That’s something to celebrate too!
