The Fireblade has consistently set the benchmark for sports performance from its inception in 1992 to the present day. Race wins and championships are too numerous to list, but its enviable success at the Isle of Man TT speaks volumes about the pure road performance of this legendary Super Sports bike. After all, this is a real road environment where total control is far more important than on-paper performance.
For 2011, the CBR1000RR Fireblade comes in three exciting new colour variants. A new HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) tricolour version features new colours throughout, including a stunning gold trim, white wheels and HRC decals on the middle and upper front cowl, rear fender and front fender. A new full Honda Repsol racing livery proudly shows the Fireblade's ties to the Moto GP RC212V and accentuates its race bred technology and heritage. There is also a special Graphite Black version with black wheels. It places a firm emphasis on the clean lines of the bodywork which contrast strongly with the silver coloured frame. All colours are available in both the Standard and the Combined ABS versions.

| The Fireblade's design styling is pared-down and purposeful with an overall form that dispenses with anything that doesn't support the twin goals of minimal weight and optimal mass centralisation. In 2010 its rear shape was revised and it featured a new clear-lens tail-light. The indicators and licence plate holder were integrated into a compact assembly which can be easily detached from the rear fender unit for closed track riding. Its low-slung exhaust received a redesigned muffler that improved cornering clearance, and further focused weight around the central mass. Designed for excellent handling and dynamic performance, the Fireblade's front cowl is short and compact, incorporating striking line beam headlights |
