2025 Honda® CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP Base

2025 Honda® CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP

Since its introduction in 1992, Honda’s iconic Fireblade has evolved into an incredible 1000cc sports motorcycle, considered the top sportsbike in our lineup. It leans on the engine and chassis technology of the RC213V-S ‘street-legal MotoGP machine’, with aerodynamics drawn from the RC213V MotoGP bike. The Fireblade is designed for pure, outright track performance.

Features may include:

• MotoGP™ DNA

The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP has been created from the ground up with heavy input from the HRC MotoGP™ development program. Engine and chassis technology lean heavily on that of the RC213V-S ‘Street legal MotoGP™ machine’, with aerodynamics drawn from the RC213V MotoGP™ bike. Power delivery, handling and aerodynamics are all targeted toward outright track performance.

• Cutting Edge Performance

To make an amazing sport motorcycle even better, Honda engineers looked at every component in the inline-four engine with the aim of squeezing out a little more performance here, a little better rider control there, and a little less weight overall. We believe this is the best Fireblade we’ve ever made.

• New Öhlins Suspension

To keep pace with the RR-R SP’s improved engine performance, the suspension has been upgraded to a third-generation semi-active Öhlins Electronically Controlled suspension (Smart-EC) with a 43 mm Öhlins NPX fork, and a third-generation TTX36 rear shock. The suspension works in conjuction with the Öhlins Object Based Tuning interface (OBTi) to offer finer adjustment of settings.

• Lighter Frame

Honda engineers didn’t stop with the engine in their quest for an even lighter RR-R SP. The bike’s aluminum diamond frame is a full 1.1 kg lighter for 2025, with carefully rebalanced lateral and torsional rigidity for improved handling and rider feedback. The frame uses the rear of the engine as the upper shock mount, and the swingarm copies RC213V-S design.

• Improved Aerodynamics

Updated for 2025 to improve high-speed handling and turning ability, the RR-R SP's aggressive fairing design is no mere styling exercise. The goal in development was to create a class-leading drag coefficient and restrict lift under acceleration while improving braking stability. To help generate downforce at track speeds – and maintain the smallest possible frontal area – the fairing employs winglet structures that effectively generate the same downforce as the RC213V MotoGP machine. This results in a reduction in wheelies under acceleration and increased stability during braking and corner entry.

• More Mode Options

A full-colour 5-inch TFT display that’s fully customizable offers intuitive control, operated via a four-way switch on the left handlebar. You can choose to display the information you want in a format you prefer, including engine temperature, riding modes, speedometer and tachometer, shifter setting, ABS level, gear position, remaining fuel, and much more. Additional mode options for a number of settings have been added for 2025, giving you even more ways to tailor your ride just the way you like it.
