Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade Detail Engine size 998 cc Power 170 bhp Top speed 174 mph MCN ratings Owners' ratings Overall Engine Ride & Handling Equipment Quality & Reliability Every once in a while a sportster comes along that is just right. The 2006 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is one of those machines. It delivers polished, glitch-free 180mph potency with almost no effort and yet blends this not just with the expected Honda build quality and class, but also a fat, hum-dinger, wheelie-pulling midrange that makes it more sheer fun than any since the 92 original Honda Fireblade. The latest Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is quite simply a class act. Engine MCN rating Owners' rating Sewing-machine-like, free-revving effectiveness is what we’d boringly become used to with Honda CBR1000RR Fireblades. This reworked, stomping midrange laden, explosive weapon changes all that. 100mph wheelies have never been so easy as on the lates Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade. Yet the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is also idiot-proof, docile and real-world responsive, too. I’ll take three. Ride and Handling MCN rating Owners' rating Almost beyond criticism, too – for the road. Of all the Japanese superbikes the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade has the best road balance of sharp (yet steady thanks to the HESD electronic steering damper) steering, stability, tautness and comfort. Even on standard settings all but the most extreme riders will have nothing to complain of on the back of the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade. On track the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade lacks the GSX-R/ZX-10R’s rapier steering, but only just… Equipment MCN rating Owners' rating What the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade needs, it’s got. Quality suspension, brakes, HESD damper, span adjustable levers etc, and it’s all quality stuff. The very nicest bits of the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade however (pillion seat cover, tint screen etc) are Honda accessories. Quality and Reliability MCN rating Owners' rating The Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is typically Honda: excellent fit and finish, far better than most durability and, so far, no reliability issues (which, after all, is as it should be with a bike so thoroughly developed…). You can't go far wrong with a Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade Value MCN rating Owners' rating What price do you put on being the best? OK, so the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is slightly more pricey than its rivals, but overall it’s worth it. The Suzuki and Yamahas are older models and the Kawasaki is less refined, lacks the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade's all-round class and is no beauty either. Honda CBR1000RR Fireblades hold their values better, too.
