- Same compact and lightweight 998cm³ liquid-cooled fuel-injected inline-4 engine as 2007 CBR1000RR Fireblade, but retuned for stronger low-to-midrange power and torque and breathtaking acceleration.
- Compact, high-pressure 12-hole fuel injectors in 36mm throttle bodies provide optimal fuel atomisation and cylinder filling for top performance.
- Power output focused on both torque and linearity, providing a stronger rush through the powerband than nearly every other motorcycle in its class.
- Magnesium cylinder head and ACG cover reduce engine weight.
- Newly designed engine side covers feature eye-catching new nickel-plated bolt-head look.
- Liquid-cooled oil cooler like that used on 2007 CBR1000RR Fireblade.
- Independent ignition and fuel injection mapping for each cylinder.
- Re-engineered transmission feature remarkably smooth and easy gear change action.
- Light-action hydraulic clutch can be engaged at less than 2,000rpm without fear of engine stalling, thanks to optimised low-end torque output.


- Advanced gravity die-cast aluminium Mono-Backbone frame based on that developed for 2007 Hornet contributes to lighter weight, compact mid-sized configuration and sharp, responsive handling.


- Swift-handling, fully adjustable 43mm inverted front fork like that used on the new CBR1000RR.
- Lightweight and rigid cast aluminium Pro-Arm swingarm.
- Monoshock rear suspension with HMAS damper offering 10-step spring preload and rebound damping adjustment.
- Low, semi-underslung stainless steel exhaust system with catalyser chamber located below swingarm pivot for lower centre of gravity, an exhilarating sound and lighter, more responsive handling.
- Lightweight cast aluminium 4-spoke wheels mount high-performance radial tyres.
- Wide 180/55 17" radial rear tyre offers dynamic looks and top riding performance.
- Lightweight 310mm floating front disc brakes with powerful 4-piston radial-mount callipers for crisply responsive Super Sports levels of braking control.
- Radial-mount front disc brake callipers same as those used on new 2008 CBR1000RR Fireblade.

Feature one-piece monoblock construction for light weight and increased rigidity, with chrome-plated aluminium pistons for lighter weight and enhanced durability.
- 256mm rear disc brake with compact dual-piston calliper for superior balance of braking control.
- Combined-ABS version features 3-piston front brake callipers optimised for sports riding-oriented braking characteristics working together with Honda’s smooth, advanced Antilock Brake System for confident control in all braking situations.

- Small and stylish 3-section LCD meter panel design features unique wide-throw multi-segment LCD tachometer, special “opening” and “ending” displays and distinctive new blue backlight illumination.
- Honda Ignition Security System (HISS) helps prevent ride-away theft by disabling ignition system at its central ECU.

About www.motorcyclists-online.com English version:
At the beginning, in 2001, www.motorcyclists-online.com was an exclusive French Motorcycle website. Now, since September 2005, it has become bilingual: English speaking people are welcome !
We do believe, at www.motorcyclists-online.com, that linguistic boundaries are not a problem when we share the same passion for bikes.
We are currently working on translating all articles and contents, to finish the UK/US version. You will certainly notice some bugs or translation errors: please do not hesitate to advise us by e-mail, Private Message or by posting in the Forum. Your help is welcome !
For the moment, articles which haven’t been human translated are automatically machine translated, which I must confess is not really famous, but faster than human translators.
