Honda CBR1000RR for 2008

Honda CBR1000RR for 2008

Honda will be launching a much-revised CBR1000RR for 2008. It’s expected to be substantially lighter than the current version, going on a diet similar to the new CBR600RR, but maintain its traditional in-line four cylinder engine configuration.

The bike may be boasting new electronic wizardry. The top two possibilities are electronic traction control and switchable engine maps, similar to the current Suzuki GSX-R1000, so it can be homologated for superbike racing.
