2023 Honda® CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP

STREET LEGAL. TRACK READY.

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:

PERFORMANCE

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.

TECHNOLOGY

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.

HANDLING

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.

DESIGN

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.
