Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2011

Honda has lovingly and logically developed the CBR 1000 RR in detail. The Fireblade remained as it always was - just a little better. We were fast, we rode safely, we had fun, and in these difficult conditions. The total control thing is much more than brochure talk. It's a 20-year-old religion worth believing in.

Plenty of power

fast driving

confident chassis

ABS

precise

reduced fuel consumption.

Technology not yet fully developed.

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2018

A worthy new edition from Honda. Even if it doesn't quite shine as brightly in the standard version as it does with the Öhlins Gold in the "SP" version, the Fireblade is a much better bike in 2017. The electronics package is good, the handling great and the seating position very good. The bike looks like a unified whole and will make Honda fans happy.

Good brakes

Low weight and nimble handling

Engine has plenty of power from the rev range

High build quality

No shift assistant

sluggish and not very precise throttle grip

chassis "nice" on the racetrack but not good enough to precisely set the scene for the great handling

disadvantages at peak performance on long straights
