2012 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade Mini Site

Posted: 15 Oct 2011 10:00 PM PDT


What’s up people? Honda has put up a mini-website dedicated to the new 2012 Fireblade. It promises to tell the full story of the bike which will mark the 20th anniversary of the Fireblade series next year. Honda is keen to stress the easy-to-ride Total Control philosophy which has shaped the Fireblade dynasty.

You only need traction control if you are an inadequate rider, the site seems to imply. Sketches on the site show how good the 175.7bhp 2012 ‘Blade would look in plain titanium grey, except it doesn’t come in that color.

There’s also an interesting graph which shows how much less stiff the new wheels are when not leaned over, and how much more so when they are. There are sections devoted to Concept, Styling, Engine, Chassis and Tech Spec. Check it out here.

Stay tuned for more updates, and be sure to order your copy of the 2011 print edition of Inline Performance Magazine HERE at the pre-order price until supplies last.
