2023 Honda® CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP

2023 Honda® CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP

Honda’s legendary inline-four sportbikes have always combined power, smoothness, performance, refinement, innovation and versatility. And our 2023 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP delivers on all those same points, but at a stratospherically higher level. What you see here is a truly track-ready Superbike, but one that’s street legal and as well-rounded as every Honda you’ve ever experienced. To make it even better, we’re continuing our exclusive 30th-anniversary graphics, including individual serialized numbering. We’ll be honest: the performance a high-revving open-class inline four like this delivers isn’t for everyone, and we are only building a few, but if you’re looking for the ultimate machine in its class, the Fireblade SP is it.

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.
