Introduction

The heart and soul of this motorcycle remains the same 999cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine with DOHC; four valve per cylinder valve train, a very powerful and compact powerplant fed through Honda’s advanced Dual Stage fuel injection system. On the 2010 model year, the flywheel is larger for increased engine inertia. The gearbox remains the same close-ratio six-speed unit and the fact is that apart from the new flywheel, you get (mechanically) the same machine that raised liter bike standards in 2009, when it was launched as a completely reinvented model.

Both suspension and braking systems remain the same, so there’s also the 2010 Honda CBR1000RR C-ABS available. While the base model weighs in at 439 pounds, the one with anti-lock brakes has a 461.7 curb weight, but the just over 20 pounds extra weight is well worth given the infinite benefit of an ABS-equipped two-wheeled rocket.
