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

The Honda CBR1000RR SP, introduced as a 2014 model, was as close as possible to the racing machine, it brought to the road game a lot of pro-grade components, such as adjustable Ohlins suspension, race-class Brembo brakes, and hand-picked engine parts for durable and dependable performance.

Fitted on all 2014 models, the bubble-shaped windscreen, along with the revised rider position, provided enhanced wind protection, while only the SP model featured special graphics and a two-tone color scheme that provided a great appearance.

The SP model featured a modified twin-spar aluminum frame to match the Ohlins suspension, and the rigidity balance around the rear suspension was also altered for more flex and traction performance.

Also, on the front, the Sp model featured a second-generation Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) that monitored speed and enhanced stability at high speed with minimized sudden steering angle changes, while at low speeds, the steering was unrestricted.

In the power department, the 2014 Honda CBR1000RR SP was powered by a 999cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fitted with a Dual Stage Fuel injection (DSFI_ system that helped deliver an output power of 178 hp at 12,250 rpm and 114 Nm (84 lb-ft) of torque at 10,500 rpm.

The bike rolled on a set of 12-spoke cast aluminum wheels in a gold-colored finish and with a unique pinstripe design shoded with street-legal Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires that offered excellent grip and handling.
