2016 Honda CBR1000RR Review

2016 Honda CBR1000RR on www.Totalmotorcycle.com

The Connoisseur’s Superbike…

All motorcycles are special. But there’s something about a sportbike that distills the experience into something even more pure. So immediate. Such an intense connection between rider and bike. And the most intense of all is a Superbike, like the Honda CBR1000RR.

The CBR1000RR is the purest of the pure, a bike with nothing to dilute the experience of the rider and the bike. The power is unlike anything else in our lineup—the chassis and suspension are a tribute to Honda’s decades of racing dominance. And there’s plenty of technology, too, but it’s the best kind: invisible, non-intrusive, there only when you need it.

For 2016 we have a couple of versions for you. There’s our CBR1000RR, available in Matte Metallic Black this year, with all the features you can ever want. And then there’s our limited-edition CBR1000RR SP, the primo choice for track-day enthusiasts: Fully adjustable Öhlins front and rear suspension, Brembo front brakes and Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SC premium tires, lightweight subframe with solo seat cowl, along with hand-selected engine parts for weight and balance, including pistons and connecting rods.

For Superbike purists, the CBR1000RR is the best there’s ever been, a bike like no other.


Race-Winning Heritage

With an unprecedented, unmatched 700 total MotoGP victories, Honda’s winning heritage stands far above any other manufacturer. Our superior engineering and technology put our GP bikes in the winners’ circle and give you the performance you need for the street.


2016 CBR1000RR Options

2016 Honda CBR1000RR www.Totalmotorcycle.com Key Features

Excellent efficiency

The cylinder head on the CBR1000RR’s 999.8 cc 16-valve engine features polished inlet and exhaust ports and “gas-flowed” combustion chambers to improve efficiency. Gas-flowing (flow-testing on an air-flow bench) improves both the quality and quantity of airflow at high rpm when air resistance becomes much greater, thereby increasing combustion efficiency and outright power. The valve seats have been matched to the cylinder head and the intake funnels are “slash cut”, a design used in World Superbike.

Reduced friction

A nickel-silicon carbide (Ni-SiC) surface treatment on the cylinder walls reduces friction and improves reliability.

Superior throttle response

PGM-DSFI electronic fuel injection ensures precise air/fuel delivery and crisp and predictable throttle response, especially at low speeds and low rpm. At throttle openings of up to 25%, PGM-DSFI is programmed to produce relatively fine and consistent changes in power and torque output – perfect for extracting maximum drive at extreme lean angles. As throttle openings become larger, the changes in output become progressively greater. The overall result is an engine that responds with superior accuracy to throttle input and produces highly usable, linear acceleration.

Increased stability

The MotoGP-derived Assist Slipper Clutch helps to ensure confident downshifting and deceleration as well as quick clutch re-engagement and light lever action. This clutch design not only provides slip in off-throttle conditions, but also positive lock under power.

Balancing strength, rigidity & lightness

The CBR1000RR’s die-cast aluminum twin-spar frame provides the strength and rigidity required for Superbike-spec handling, while its light weight contributes to the bike’s impressive power-to-weight ratio. Tightly wrapped around the engine, it’s also configured for optimum mass centralization – a guiding principle of Honda’s design philosophy for both racing and on-road motorcycles.

Improved handling

The 43 mm fork incorporates Showa’s latest Big Piston technology with a larger damping-oil volume to effectively reduce the hydraulic pressure generated as the fork legs compress and extend. The result is more precise action during the initial stroke and smoother overall damping action for improved handling, enhanced front-end feedback, and a more solid feel during hard braking.

Outstanding rider feedback

The aluminum gull-wing swingarm is deliberately long and combines with the MotoGP-derived Unit Pro-Link rear suspension to deliver outstanding traction and rider feedback.

Improved traction & road holding

Unit Pro-Link® rear suspension features a patented Balance Free Rear Shock from Showa that incorporates a unique double-tube design featuring a damper case plus an internal cylinder for more-responsive, smoother damping action and a smoother transition between compression and rebound, resulting in improved traction and road holding.

Enhanced stability

The second-generation Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) monitors speed and tailors damping force accordingly. It enhances stability at high speed by minimizing the effect of sudden steering-input changes, while also leaving the steering unrestricted – and light – at low speed.

Lightweight advantage

Super-light aluminum-alloy hollow-spoke wheels feature race-spec 3.5 x 17-inch front and 6.0 x 17-inch rear dimensions.

Full braking performance

The CBR1000RR is equipped with the world’s first Electronically Controlled Combined ABS for sportbikes. This innovative system combines the benefits of anti-lock brakes and linked front and rear brakes to improve both braking control and safety — all without interfering with cornering ability or other aspects of sport performance. The system measures rider input on both the front brake lever and rear brake pedal (plus data from other sensors), then using sophisticated electronics and two separate power units, generates up to the maximum braking force on both wheels while also preventing wheel lockup. An innovative stroke simulator helps to maintain the same sort of feel at the brake lever and pedal as you’re used to. Combine this with the small size and weight of the components, and you have one amazing system. Full braking performance immediately available, giving you that extra peace of mind.

Exceptional stopping power

Front brake system features radial-mounted four-piston calipers and 320 mm floating discs, and the rear brake system uses a 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper for exceptional stopping power.

More compact design

Centrally mounted 17.7-litre fuel tank is positioned low in the frame, improving mass centralization and allowing for a more compact design.

Improved handling & better comfort

Layered fairing design improves the flow of air through the cooling system and also creates a large pocket of calm air around the rider for better comfort. An integrated chin spoiler in the nose reduces aerodynamic lift to improve handling.

Information right in front of you

Multi-function LCD instrument panel communicates important information, plus includes a lap timer with memory function, five-level shift indicator, user-selectable modes for tachometer display, gear position indicator and more.

Optimum light distribution

Line-beam headlight features a two-piece reflector design utilizing two H7 bulbs for optimum light distribution and a unique compact design.

Stylish rear lighting

LED taillights are both stylish and highly visible.

Maintenance-free battery

Lightweight maintenance-free battery.

Improved security

A compact car-style wave-design ignition key offers improved security and greatly reduces the chance of breakage.

 

2016 Honda CBR1000RR www.Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V2 Tires

The street-legal Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires offer grip and handling in one high-performance tire. The 12-spoke wheels also feature a unique pinstripe design.

Gull-Wing Swingarm

The CBR1000RR’s braced aluminum “gull-wing” swingarm is deliberately long. That helps deliver improved traction and gives the rider excellent chassis feedback.

Unit Pro-Link® Rear Suspension

The CBR1000RR features front and rear suspension. In the back, the Unit Pro-Link® design uses a balance-free rear shock with a double-tube design for a smoother and more accurate response.

Cylinder Head and Exhaust

The 2015 CBR1000RR features changes to the cylinder head, including revised valve seats, machining and intake exhaust port shape. Along with modifications to the intake and exhaust systems, this creates more horsepower and torque.

Lightweight Cast-Aluminum Seat Rail

On the CBR1000RR SP a firmer, single-seat design with a special pillion cover and a cast and machined aluminum subframe reduces weight and helps speed track day prep.

Twin-Spar Aluminum Chassis

A four-piece aluminum frame design balances strength, rigidity and lightness. Wrapped tightly around the engine, the structure helps centralize the CBR1000RR’s mass for more responsive handling—some of the best anywhere on two wheels.

Hand-Selected Piston and Con-Rod

The CBR1000RR SP pistons and con rods are hand-selected and weight-matched to improve engine performance.

Layered Fairing

There’s no mistaking the 2016 CBR1000RR, thanks to its layered fairing bodywork. Lean, mean, and more aggressive from front to back, it’s a real attention getter, even when it’s standing still.

Dual-Stage Fuel Injection

The CBR1000RR features two sets of injectors per cylinder for both low- and high-rpm performance, instantaneous high-rpm response and great low-rpm metering and clean running. Refined EFI settings make the engine even more manageable, with smoother throttle response specifically at smaller throttle openings.

Special CBR1000RR SP Repsol Edition

The CBR1000RR SP features a slew of race-ready parts all wrapped in Repsol graphics inspired by the two-time MotoGP Champion Marc Marquez.

Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD)

Most steering dampers only sense handlebar-deflection speed. The Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) is way more sophisticated. It also detects vehicle speed, and adjusts damping proportionally. That helps maintain low-speed maneuverability while providing excellent, predictable high-speed handling.

LCD Instruments

The CBR1000RR’s full-screen LCD instrumentation includes a lap timer, trip and fuel-consumption computer, five-level customizable shift indicator, gear-position indicator, and peak-rpm memory function.

Öhlins Front and Rear Suspension Components

The CBR1000RR SP features a forged and machined top bridge, fully adjustable NIX30 front suspension, and TTX36 rear shock for superior suspension performance and adjustability on the track or the street.

Brembo Monobloc Front Calipers

The race-proven Brembo monobloc calipers are light, but they provide exceptional stiffness and excellent braking performance.

Available Combined Anti-Lock Braking System (Electronic C-ABS)

Electronically controlled C-ABS distributes brake force over both wheels, helping to maintain braking confidence in less-than-ideal conditions. The system electronically measures rider input on the brake lever and pedal, and applies only the front or rear brake in some cases or combines both brakes in other situations. (Not available on CBR1000RR SP model.)

Big Piston Fork (BPF) Front Suspension

The CBR1000RR’s front suspension uses a Big Piston Fork (BPF). The 43mm Showa fork is smoother, more responsive and gives you excellent front-end feedback.

12-Spoke Wheels

With their consistent rigidity and balance, these sharp-looking 12-spoke cast-aluminum wheels work with the fork and enhance suspension feedback to deliver real handling improvements.

 

Evolution of a legend

21 years of the CBR1000RR Fireblade has seen many changes in the Super Sport arena, many that it set in motion. But the constant of Total Control has ensured a focus purely on what the rider needs to get the ultimate enjoyment and excitement from every second spent riding a CBR1000RR Fireblade.

The CBR1000RR Fireblade represents the distillation of raw power into its most usable form. It is the most complete open-class Super Sport machine money can buy – and equally happy on road or racetrack.

The power of balance

The CBR1000RR Fireblade’s 999.8cc inline four-cylinder engine has exactly the same upgrades to its cylinder head as the CBR1000RR Fireblade SP, increasing peak power by 2kW to 133kW for extremely responsive acceleration. Mid-range torque is lifted with new 35mm exhaust downpipes, and a link pipe between 2 and 3 cylinders balances pressure. Remapped PGM-DSFI results in crisp throttle feel and precise power delivery; the assisted slipper-clutch aids stability by reducing back-torque to the rear wheel under hard downshifting.
