Honda CBR1000RR-R Superbike Price Dropped By Rs 10 Lakh In India

Honda India recently decreased the price of its CBR1000RR-R Fireblade which is sold through its premium BigWing showrooms. The bike is currently available in the country with a starting price of Rs 23.11 lakh instead of the earlier Rs 32.68 lakh.

However, the brand has made this move silently and didn’t share any statement on the price drop but the price list on the official website has been updated already. The Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade looks to have become more affordable for a number of Indians. While the bike is wonderful, the original price tag deterred many buyers from visiting the BigWing Showroom.

The brand has equipped the motorcycle with three riding modes in addition to allowing the rider to customize the power and brakes.

Coming to the SP variant of the Honda CBR1000RR-R, the motorcycle has been offered second-gen 43mm front forks by Ohlins in addition to getting extra Brembo callipers to make it more track-focused in comparison to the standard variant.

The braking duties on the motorcycle are handled by Brembo Stylema four-piston radial callipers at the front while the brand had equipped the rear with Brembo monoblock calliper borrowed from the Honda RC213V-S.
