In 2007, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CBR1000RR, a superbike also known as the Fireblade that came with the same upgrades received by the 2006 model but with additional color options.
Some of the color changes were seen at the rear swingarm, finished in black paint that enhanced its aggressive look, and the new bodywork livery that came in a Black with Metallic Gray and Light Silver Metallic With Red and Black.
Some of the unique features of the model were highlighted by the 998cc engine, MotoGp-inspired aluminum frame, the Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD), radial-mounted front brakes, center-up exhaust system, and aggressive styling based on the Championship-winning RC211V MotoGP machine.
In the performance department, the 2007 Honda CBR1000RR had at its core a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a high volume ram air system that provided linear power and massive engine performance.
Also, the cool air provided by the ram air system was mixed with fuel delivered by 12-hole injectors and ignited by iridium spark plugs that ultimately resulted in a power output of 172 hp with a peak at 11,250 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,000 rpm.
The power generated by the engine, combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 176 kg (388 lbs), resulted in a top speed of 278 kph (173 mph).
