The 2027 Honda CBR1000RR is race-inspired engineering with real-world rideability: a twin-spar aluminum chassis, a high-revving 1000cc inline-four, premium suspension and sleek aerodynamic bodywork.
Who the CBR1000RR is for
Experienced riders who want a true open-class literbike with the precision to carve corners and the power for the straights.
What stands out
- 1000cc inline-four. High-revving power in an open-class Supersport.
- Twin-spar aluminum chassis. Precision for carving corners.
- Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC). Five power curves, ten torque-control levels and three settings for engine braking and wheelie control.
- Slipper clutch. Uses technology from Honda’s MotoGP machines.
- Lightweight subframe. Weight reduction without sacrificing rigidity.
CBR1000RR vs. CBR1000RR ABS
This is the standard CBR1000RR. The ABS trim adds anti-lock brakes for added stopping control, which many riders prefer on the street.
Common questions
Is the CBR1000RR a good first sportbike?
It’s a serious literbike, so most riders start smaller. Ask us about a smaller sportbike or a rider course first.
What do I need to ride it in Virginia?
Virginia requires a Class M motorcycle endorsement and a helmet for every rider.

Full features and specs
Engineering
- LIGHTWEIGHT SUBFRAME: The subframe takes weight reduction to a new level, designed to be as light as possible while still maintaining the rigidity needed for responsive handling.
- HONDA SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL: Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) improves rear wheel traction by optimizing torque delivery and reducing slip. It gives you complete control over your bike’s performance through customizable options. These include five power curves, ten torque-control levels, and three settings for engine braking and wheelie control.
- SLIPPER CLUTCH: Using tech from our MotoGP machines, a specially designed slipper clutch reduces wheel-hop under deceleration and provides seamless power delivery, effortless gear shifting, and a feather-light clutch feel.
- EFFICIENT RADIATOR DESIGN: The sleek radiator design boasts a narrow profile for aerodynamic efficiency, while a high-density core ensures uncompromised cooling performance.
Handling
- RACE-BRED ERGONOMICS: Improved aerodynamics make it easier for the rider to tuck in while also reducing the bike’s width.
- HONDA ELECTRONIC STEERING DAMPER: Our Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) goes beyond typical steering dampers. By dynamically adjusting based on handlebar deflection velocity and vehicle speed, the HESD ensures exceptional low-speed maneuverability while maintaining excellent high-speed stability.
Performance
- HIGH-PERFORMANCE FOUR-CYLINDER ENGINE: This flat-plane inline-four engine roars to life with high-compression pistons, offering the kind of free-revving power that makes riding a bike like this so much fun.
- DUAL-STAGE FUEL INJECTION: Dual injectors in each cylinder ensure exceptional low- and high-rpm performance, while refined EFI settings enhance throttle response, especially at smaller openings, for a smoother yet still exhilarating ride.
- THROTTLE BY WIRE: Another notable advancement from Honda’s MotoGP program, the Double-R features throttle by wire, which integrates with the Honda Selectable Torque Control system to offer three engine power-delivery modes, two of which are fully customizable.
Technology
- ALL-LED LIGHTING PACKAGE: We’ve equipped our full line of liter bikes with stylish LED headlights, taillights, and turn signals for greater efficiency and improved visibility.
- FULL-COLOR TFT SCREEN GAUGES: A large TFT (Thin-Film-Transistor) display with high resolution offers customization of essential information, including the speedometer, tachometer, gear position, fuel level, engine temperature, riding modes, and more.
