Honda will present the 2017 CBR1000RR Fireblade in 3 versions namely Base, SP and SP2. The new additions to the motorcycle are pretty amazing as replacing Honda’s C-ABS with a new one from other source reduced the weight by 10 kg. CBR1000RR now even carries 5-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) and rear lift control (RLC) for calculating lean angle, wheel speed, throttle angle and braking inputs.
