The Kawa leaves nothing to be desired. Engine, chassis and brakes will satisfy you 100%. This machine will make the intensive lap times drop, even the rider will not be able to prevent that.

Anti-hopping clutch

strong overall package

optimal chassis

stability

works with all tyres

almost complete.

Unsteady handling on complex tracks with bumps

very sporty overall set-up => advantage for racetrack, disadvantage for road

Those who focus on good lap times will not find the CBR 1000 RR the best partner in the field. Those who simply want to ride nice laps around the ring or on the country road will still have fun with it. It rides heart-stoppingly, looks great and gives you a lot of feeling for the rear wheel. At the regulars' table, Honda fans can at least score points with Marquez's victories, but they won't be able to come up with the Fireblade's fabulous performance figures or lap records.

great look

transparent handling

good feeling for traction

high-quality chassis

great basis for racetrack conversion

reliable and proven technology

Peak power no longer up to date

lack of traction control
