Honda CBR 1000 RR |

Time is now ripe
for you to trade
your 150cc bike
for Honda’s latest
creation. Bike
enthusiasts are
already touting the CBR 1000
RR as the dawn of a new era
in sports bike design. Though
built for smooth and expansive
western roads, this bike is
tough enough to withstand
the vagaries of Indian roads
as well. It will accelerate so
quickly that you get the feeling
of taking off on a rocket. The
bike is much smaller and
slimmer, even the chassis is
2.5kg lighter as compared
to earlier versions. The
aerodynamically designed
bodywork evokes an aura of
aggression, which is greatly
extenuated by a pair of linebeam
headlights and a unique
cowl design.
The 1000 RR gets its
rush of raw power from its
state of the art DOHC 16-
valve, 999cc, four-stroke inline four-cylinder engine. A
sixteen-valve cylinder head
featuring 30.5mm intake
and 24mm exhaust valves
with a 12.3:1 compression
ratio are highly conducive
for efficient combustion and
high horsepower. The bore
and stroke dimensions are at
76mm x 55.1mm. The fuel tank
is centrally located to increase
mass centralization and
allow a more compact frame
design. The bike is available
in several eye-catching colors
like Red/Black, Black/Metallic
Grey (Limited Edition), Black/
Metallic Silver, Pearl Yellow/
Black and Candy Dark Red/
Metallic Silver. |
