2017 HONDA CBR1000RR AND CBR1000RR SP
FIRST TEST
P66
ors, and you have a CBR range that's well and truly here
to play with the bikes from home and abroad that have
steadily knocked it off its perch as the benchmark in the
superbike category.
THE PROOF
The chance to test this hugely important motorcycle
comes at one of the finest racetracks on the planet, the
Algarve International Circuit, otherwise known around the
world simply as Portimao, in southwest Portugal.
(Above) Titanium for
you, sir? The SP also
gets a titanium tank,
one that looks as good
as you'd imagine.
(Left) Even though
the spec sheet isn't as
impressive as the SP's,
the base model
CBR is a brilliant
corner weapon.
