2022 Honda® CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP

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!

Features may include:

• RC213V-SPEC BORE AND STROKE

The Fireblade SP's bore and stroke (81mm x 48.5mm) are the same as our Honda MotoGP Champion RC213V racebike, drawing on our experience with cylinder filling and combustion gathered on the track.

• FULL-COLOR TFT METER

The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is equipped with a larger instrument screen and higher resolution than previous CBR models. You can choose from a menu of screen setting options that display the information you want in a format you prefer, with items like engine temperature, riding modes, speedometer and tachometer, shifter setting, ABS level, gear position, remaining fuel, and much more.

• ÖHLINS SECOND-GENERATION SMART EC SUSPENSION

The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP uses an electronically controlled NPX fork manufactured by Öhlins. By adding a pressurized damping system to the Öhlins fork used by the previous CBR1000RR SP, cavitation inside the damper is minimized to stabilize damping force more and improve bump absorption.

• TITANIUM MUFFLER

The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP’s muffler was developed jointly with Akrapovic. It’s made out of titanium for light weight, and the design also contributes to the bike’s mass centralization. A special valve in the exhaust helps boost torque at lower revs and increase horsepower at higher rpm.
