Honda UK 2024 Fireblade
[Applause] so this is it the brand new CBR 1000 rrr Fireblade SP and what a fantastic machine it really is now the Fireblade has seen a few updates of the modern era but arguably none more and none more important than this one here now so as
Soon as you get on the bike the first thing you’re going to notice is how much more room you got see what HRA realized in the R&D department is when a lot of people are buying this bike a lot of them are taking it on track and that’s
Evident in the super stock Championship from last year now what they’re doing is they’re changing a lot of basic parts to start with so they’re changing the clipons and putting lower clipons on uh they’re changing the rear sets putting higher rear sets on so Honda thoughts
Ourselves well why are we having a half warehous with a standard road bike but that’s exactly what they’ve changed now don’t get me wrong you’re not going to get nt100 levels of comfort this is still a full blooded super sports bike but what they have done to improve the
Ride of comfort is they pulled the bars up and they’ dropped the pegs down and what that done is it’s opened up that Rider triangle giving you so much more Comfort on the bike from the showroom now staying on board the bike and the flight deck if you like we can talk
About the Tech within this bike now we don’t have the keys for this bike to turn on this Dash and to show you it in full we’ll have to do that in a later video what we can do is tell you is something they’ve uh developed into this
Year for this bike is a really clever system now the Fireblade has always been fantastic as a bike that you can ride to a track day through your track day and then ride home and what we’ve done now is we’ve improved that so within this system we have a setting where you can
Actually measure measure your weight on the bike and set the bike up accordingly so what that opens up is that you can ride to the track day with the bike in the most comfortable setting for you arrive at the track hit a few buttons and you’re ready to go no preload
Setting no race you’re good to go have a fantastic day at brown or Donnington and when you finish you turn those settings back to basic and you ride home in Comfort visually the Fireblade has always been an attractive bike and it hasn’t changed much for this year with
The addition of new winglets on the front which are increasing our downforce and they’re also improving your by 10% and looking to the back of the bike we’ve still got that RCV inspired swinging arm giving us great control at the back end staying at the back we’ve
Got the acrop poic end can now for this year it’s actually got a full liter more capacity and what that allows us to do is that at that mid-range rev it’s so so much quieter keeping you on side with neighborhood watch which is vitally important but when you wind the power on
On your track day it’s been noted by the R&D Department that this bike is the closest sounding to the world super bike that they’ve ever had engine wise on the Fireblade we’ve still got the Short Stroke semic cam design which develops 215 brake horsepower fast plenty for
Anyone but the engine has received a bit of attention this year more so on the throttle body Motors where now they work independently on two cylinders each the idea of this is that the bike can flip drop two cylinders or pick up two cylinders on Corner entry and Corner
Exit and the idea of that is it gives the the rider much greater control on putting that power down to the ground and making it usable this is a very emotional bike for me not this bike in particular but fire blades you see when I was growing up my dad work worked at
The local Honda dealership and on school holidays and some weekends me and my brother would go into the shop and help out emptying bins sweeping up that sort of thing but one of the jobs was to dust and polish the bikes now this would always cause a bit
Of competition between me and my brother we’d always want to be with one bike we’d always make a beine straight towards one bike and it was always this the Fire Blade we just wanted to be near this bike it was phenomenal and now this bike in its 32nd year still makes me
Feel like a school boy I’m itching to get a duster and some Polish and just spend some time with it so this is much more than a bike to me this is memories of summer holidays spent with my dad in the bike shop learning the industry that
We’re all so privileged to be a part of and motorcycles have the ability to stir emotion inside of us like nothing else and for me nothing hits the spot like a fire Blade
We give you a quick run down of the new CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP for 2024
