The 2012 CBR1000RR builds on the legacy of “total control” that has shaped its predecessors for 20 years since the introduction of its original ground-breaking forerunner, the CBR900RR, at the EICMA show in 1991. Since then, successive evolutions of the machine have layered advancement upon advancement, while retaining its defining strength of a perfect balance between power and control.
Under the overall development concept of “natural evolution of Super Sports”, the 2012 CBR1000RR development team have concentrated their efforts on the chassis to enhance riding enjoyment even further. In particular new wheels and new front and rear suspension systems have been introduced for even better handling, traction and braking performance. The advanced Balance Free Rear Cushion rear suspension is a world-first for a production motorcycle.
The team has also created a new, even more aggressive styling to better communicate the dynamism and sheer speed of the new CBR1000RR. In addition, the already comprehensive instrument panel has additional functionality making the bike more user-friendly, helping riders get the most from Honda’s most exciting and advanced Super Sport machine yet: the 20th anniversary CBR1000RR Fireblade.
In the words of Hirofumi Fukunaga, Large Project Leader for the 2012 CBR1000RR “This is a model allowing all super sports bike lovers, including the most experienced, to savour the joy of owning the CBR1000RR, while at the same time feeling more fun in sporty riding and more joy of riding than ever before, whether it be on winding roads or at a circuit.”
Dynamic styling package: A new nose, layered main fairing and a tail section bring a more aggressive and a dynamic look to the 2012 CBR1000RR.
Balance Free Rear Cushion: Introduced for the first time on a production motorcycle, this advanced new rear shock uses a double-tube design to ensure smoother and more accurate response, superior damping and improved traction.
Big Piston Front Fork: The 2012 CBR1000RR also features inverted 43mm telescopic forks with Showa’s Big Piston technology. With a unique design to reduce internal pressures, the Big Piston Front Fork offers improved damping, increased front tyre grip and better stability under braking.
12-spoke wheels: Stunning 12-spoke cast aluminium wheels provide more consistent rigidity to work with the new forks to deliver improved handling.
Enhanced instrumentation LCD: Now with lap timer, gear position indicator, and tachometer with 4 modes of display.
Assisted slipper clutch: Reduces the engine back-torque transmitted to the rear wheel when shifting down, increasing chassis stability under deceleration and on corner entry.
Second generation HESD steering damper: Essential on such a light, compact and yet powerful machine, the Honda Electronic Steering Damper delivers both high-speed stability and light, responsive low-speed steering.
Optional Combined ABS: The 2012 Fireblade can be experienced with Honda’s advanced electronically-controlled Combined ABS braking system, which offers all the reassurance of Honda’s Combined Brake System and antilock braking.
Revised PGM-DSFI settings: The CBR1000RR retains its hugely powerful 999cc inline-4 engine but new fuel injection settings make it even smoother and easier to use, particularly at smaller throttle openings.
