The Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is the latest member of the company which is really a dashing member of Honda’s sports motorbikes and with its release Honda is actually celebrating its glory of speed and performance.

A first look at this bike will give you this feeling that Honda is really focusing on the looks in its new models, the muscular and sharp cuts of this bike will surely win your heart. The design is truly satisfying the needs of sports bike lovers, the optimal mass centralization concept by Honda is really nice.
