Yes ohlins forks, Brembos and a lighter subframe too. Its supposed to be slightly higher HP and 1kg lighter. Its also being called the Fireblade SP. 2014 Honda fireblade SP action - YouTube
Fireblade SP heads Honda’s 2014 newcomers This new, ‘SP’ high-spec version of the Fireblade is one of the stars of Honda’s 2014 line-up, MCN can now reveal. The track-focused machine features Öhlins suspension, Brembo mono block front brake calipers, single seat and special Tricolour paint, as sharing engine revisions with an updated version of the standard Blade. The new superbikes were officially unveiled at Milan on Monday...
Well considering my blade has Ohlins and Brembo's I don't think I have missed out with next years bike.
And it actually looks like a real bike Love the concept. Exactly what I thought might happen - offer two levels of bike to suit budget / needs! Wonder how much it'll be? Bit gutted on the styling. Like the 13 blade but was hoping for something a little different.
Think its a bit of a joke tbh that design will be 7 years old... Its was a good design but not 7 years ahead of its time!! Come on Honda WTF?? Glad im building my own version hehe
Is that all they come up with??? I am very disappointed, thought it was going to be something special. Might aswel keep my current blade and spend money on it.
Yup. Disappointed with the lack of a styling update. However, it continues to makes my '09 bike look a bit younger
A few engine tweaks like revised ports, matched pistons etc etc, wonder how much more power... TTX shock and 30mm carts as standard, ABS for Europe and some other tweaks... 2014 Honda CBR1000RR SP | FIRST LOOK - Motorcyclist Magazine Up To Speed - Page 1 More info..
On the youtube vid they showed power as 133Kw which I think is about 180 bhp, not sure if the vid is correct though. 114 Nm torque which is about 84 ftlb.
Ha Ha, who knows.... don't know who'd want all that bling Power/weight is 180Kg at 180BHP (brochure horse power)
So if i get Arthur to fettle my engine and I put Ohlins front and rear, brembo's and a fancy new seat cowl does that mean mine is an SP too? Am guessing the 1kg weight reduction is from taking the rear pegs off! Disappointing when you compare it to the ducati panigale or their new superleggera
So then Si, two or three years in the making and you've build yourself a bog standard 2014 SP...Ha Ha.... I'm a funny guy hay...lol SPS that Superleggera won't be nothing to worry about mate when the RC1000V comes out!
