HONDA CBR1000RR Repsol Replica (2004-2005) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2005, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda CBR1000RR Repsol Replica, a special edition motorcycle that featured the iconic red, black, and orange Repsol colors, which made it an instant head-turner.

In other departments, the Repsol Replica motorcycle featured the same technical specifications as the standard model, with its 998cc powerplant, all-new aluminum frame, Dual Stage Fuel Injection (DSFI) system, and Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD).

It featured a new lightweight twin-spar aluminum frame developed with the technology from the RC211V superbike, with a new removable lightweight aluminum rear subframe for easier maintenance, and an aluminum swingarm that was the longest in its class and offered better traction control under hard acceleration.

For suspension, the bike packed a 43 mm adjustable inverted HMAS cartridge fork on the front end of the frame and a Pro-link adjustable single shock absorber on the rear end.

As for braking performance, the model took its braking power from two 310 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

As for power, the 2005 Honda CBR1000RR Repsol Replica was powered by a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 172 hp with a peak at 11,250 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,000 rpm.
