2024 Honda CBR1000RR

At the top of Honda’s sportbike food chain is CBR1000RR. With the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP not available in the US as a 2024 model, the standard RR is the only open-class sportbike in the lineup. The standard version was last updated in 2020. Compared to some of the competition, the CBR1000RR is pretty forgiving as a streetbike despite its racetrack capabilities.

At its heart is a 999cc flat-plane crank inline-four engine with double-overhead cams and four valves per cylinder. The engine hangs in an aluminum perimeter frame and utilizes fully adjustable Showa suspension at each end. Up front are a pair of Tokico radial-mount four-piston brake calipers with 320mm discs.

In terms of electronics, the CBR1000RR has Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), which provides intervention for rear wheel slip. The rider can choose between five power curves, ten torque-control levels, three engine-braking levels, and three levels of wheelie control.

For 2024, there are two variations of the CBR1000RR with a standard $16,699 model or the $16,999 ABS-equipped model.
