2014 Honda CBR1000RR SP

It's still amazing that Honda's keeping the Fireblade so analog after all these years and it's competitors throwing electronic aids in their bikes, but in some ways, I can actually appreciate that.

For an analog superbike though, I think it looks proper. I'm a big fan of brushed aluminum finishes on the chassis.

If I was in the market for a literbike, that's the one I'd want, (assuming the price isn't ridiculous...should be, what, $2,000 more than the stock unit?)

EDIT: Story now says $3,000 premium.

Okay, that makes up for not putting USD forks on the new VFR.

More manly that way. Also manly to walk off a crushed foot from a cold tire lowside while pussy with TC fumbles with phone trying to call for help.

The latest generation CBR1000RR has had the smallest tail on a superbike for awhile now, but from the looks of this one, Honda's pumped it up, including that battery tray from the looks of it.

Good to see Honda offering a street bike with an option for top-shelf suspension/brake bits and bobs.

I believe that battery tray is actually for the ABS unit

US models will not be available with ABS brakes.

Lol. Same muffler cover since 2010.

As for the rest of the bike...yawn.

So while they may not be bringing the ABS model stateside, that doesn't change that the hump in the battery tray/undertail is for the ABS unit

Hey what does a dog know about motorcycles

I'll bet Honda puts it on the showroom floor with rubber brake lines. Seriously lame. The Japanese manufacturers really drop the ball on the details. I mean fuck, even Harleys come standard with SS lines.

[FXCLM5]

Basically. Updated wheels & bodywork. But pretty much the same bike since its inception in 2008. :|
