2011 Cbr1000Rr Overview

Posted By on August 31, 2011

King of the Open Class.
You want performance? You want style? Then you want a Honda CBR1000RR. Designed to be the ultimate street bike, itâs been refined to perfection on World Super bike tracks across the globe. In addition to its powerful engine and refined chassis the CBR1000RR showcases state-of-the-art features no other sport bike can match, like electronically controlled Combined ABS and the revolutionary Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD). The result is one of the most awesome liter bikes on the planet, but also one thatâs so refined itâs a joy to ride. And after all, isnât that exactly what youâd expect from a Honda?

Stop That!

The CBR1000RR (along with the CBR600RR) are breaking new ground by offering one of the most innovative braking systems ever: Hondaâs revolutionary Combined ABS.

Honda Electronic Steering Damper

Power is one thing, but the key to a great sport bike is how it handles, and thatâs where the Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) comes in. Compact, unobtrusive and super-smart, it helps maintain smoothly predictable high-speed handling and low-speed maneuverability.

Follow The Leaders

Honda has always used racing to improve sport bikes, and the CBR1000RR is a great example. A major force in the World Super bike Championship.

INNOVATIONS
Two-Stage Ram Air
Nose mounted, two-stage ram air system provides a high volume of cool air to the airbox, for linear power delivery and superb engine performance.
Honda Multi-Action System (HMAS) Inverted Fork
The HMAS cartridge fork features an exclusive internal piston construction.  This innovative design employs smaller-diameter pistons to keep oil velocity high for improved damping characteristics and an expanded range of adjustability.  The result: you get more precise suspension performance, especially over smaller surface irregularities.
Radial Mounted Front-Brake Calipers
The CBR1000RR uses radial-mounted monoblock front-brake calipers. This construction makes the caliper stiffer, and that means you get better brake feel more linear, powerful stopping.  Each caliper also uses four chromium-plated aluminum pistons for smooth, stiction-free operation.
Dual-Stage Fuel Injection
Two injectors per cylinder â one primary and one secondary â controlled by an ECU that senses RPM and throttle opening, ensure both low- and high-rpm performance.  You get near instantaneous high-rpm response, along with great low-rpm metering and clean running.
Idle Air Control Valve
Idle air control valve minimizes torque reaction and smoothes response to small throttle changes through gradual reductions of air and fuel intake when throttle is opened and closed.
Twin-Spar Aluminum Chassis
By varying the wall thickness of the chassis’ main elements, our engineers can fine-tune chassis rigidity precisely, and in individual areas.  You get a frame that offers the perfect balance of a stable riding platform but with no harshness.
Centrally Located Fuel Tank
The CBR1000RR’s 4.7-gallon fuel tank is positioned in the center of the chassis and low in the frame.  This allows for a more compact design, but even more important helps centralize the bike’s mass. Increased mass centralization means the CBR is more responsive to rider input, especially when leaning the bike into a turn or standing it up at the exit.
Slipper Clutch
The CBR1000RR uses a patented slipper-clutch design with a special cam-assist mechanism for easier actuation.  That means you get a light feel at the lever, the feedback a cable system provides, and all the backtorque-limiting benefits a slipper clutch provides.
Unit Pro-Link Suspension
By eliminating the frame-mounted top shock mount, Unit Pro-Link isolates the chassis from bumps, resulting in more precise handling and better traction. Developed on Honda’s championship-winning MotoGP bikes, it’s a perfect example of the CBR’s superior engineering.
MotoGP-Style Exhaust
The CBR1000RR’s lowboy muffler not only looks cool and sounds great, it also offers a handling advantage by moving the silencer lower and closer to the bike’s center of mass. GP bikes do that to make the machines more responsive, and you get the same benefit with the CBR1000RR.
Combined Anti-Lock Braking (C-ABS)
All-new, electronically controlled Combined ABS distributes brake force over both wheels, helping to maintain braking confidence in less than ideal conditions.

Electronic measurement of rider input on each brake lever permits application of only the front or rear brake in some cases, while the system combines both brakes in others.

Pricing

It takes way more than just power to make a good Super bike. You also need a refined chassis, a sophisticated suspension, comfortable seating, and a powerband that you can use in the real world. The CBR1000RR offers it all. Honed to perfection by our World Super bike teams, it offers key technological differences that place it far out in front of other 1000cc sport bikes. Features like our Combined ABS and the Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) compliment the CBR1000RRâs awesome power.

Plenty of Super bikes are intimidating to ride. The CBR1000RR is gratifying and confidence building, a real eye opener on the street or on the track.
