HONDA CBR1000RR (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2014, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CBR1000RR, a sports motorcycle that was part of Honda's CBR series and one of the sportiest motorcycles ever produced by the maker at the time.

The new 2014 model came with several improvements that included a new riding position, a new windscreen for improved wind protection, modifications to the engine and exhaust system that delivered more output power and torque, and a new Pearl White color for the standard and ABS models.

The 2014 base model featured a twin-spar aluminum frame and a fully-adjustable suspension composed of a 43 mm Big Piston Showa fork on the front that offered more response and a smoother ride while on the rear it packed a Unit Pro-Link with a balance-free shock absorber and a double-tube design that delivered smoother response and better traction performance.

As for brakes, the bike packed two 320 mm discs with a couple of four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

In the performance department, the 2014 Honda CBR1000RR was powered by a revised 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered 178 hp with a peak at 12,250 rpm and 114 Nm (84 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,500 rpm.

Also, the bike rolled on a set of 12-spoke rigid cast aluminum wheels that matched the suspension performance and delivered improved handling and enhanced suspension feedback.
