– 2016 CBR1000RR SuperSport Bike / Motorcycle Update –
Honda let the cat out of the bag today with a round of updates for the entire 2016 Honda CBR model lineup! Not only did they release the 2016 CBR1000RR information that you’ll see below but they also released details on the newly changed up 2016 CBR500R, 2016 CBR600RR, 2016 CBR300R and more. You can check out the latest 2016 motorcycle lineup announcement by clicking here.
I’m glad to see Honda is going to be keeping the CBR1000RR SP for 2016 with the Repsol Edition colors. It’s hard to beat the sexiness of Repsol colors on the CBR1000RR with Brembos, Ohlins, etc. I do have to admit they are dropping the ball on the color options though for 16′ on the standard CBR1000RR. Basically, you have (1) color option and if you don’t like the flat black style of the “Matte Black Metallic” then you’re up a creek without a paddle. What are your thoughts on the 2016 CBR1000RR Update?
Here is the information available at this time on the 2016 CBR1000RR:
2016 Honda CBR1000RR
Long heralded for its excellent handling and stellar real-world performance, Honda’s legendary CBR1000RR is back for 2016 with a 999cc liquid-cooled, inline four-cylinder engine, assisted slipper clutch and twin-spar aluminum chassis.
