Back in the late 1980s sports bikes had become rather large and unwieldy and they were designed and built more for straight-line speed rather than any nimbleness in the corners. Then things changed, thanks to a former racer and Honda engineer called Tadao Baba. He was placed on the project team for a new sports bike which was initially headed up for the first six months by HRC’s Yoichi Oguma, but soon Baba-san was appointed project leader and knew what he wanted a sports bike to do. He knew how it should feel and how it should react to a rider’s input. In many ways, this made the Blade one of the few bikes of the time designed to a racer and engineer’s vision than a marketing man’s idea…

If you’ve yet to experience any of the previous models of Honda Fireblade, now is the time to take a ride on one of the most iconic sports motorcycles of the last three decades. The 2020 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is all new and is serious about retaking the top spot in the super sports bike sector.
