Although it doesn’t seem a pretty superbike Honda assures that we are in front of the lightest superbike of the planet with a hightech motor and chassis. If we add power + weight. What do we have?

The battery is made from aluminum, the driving chain comes from light alloy has lightened weight to the rotor, wheels, gearbox, 2.5 kg less ( pistons, valves ) All the parts that can lose weight had been slimmed down in the motor. The result? : 198kg dry.

Taking a closer look at the new Fireblade it seems much smaller than any other 1,000 c.c motorcycle and its not an optic effect. The fourchets are tightter, the frame is narrower and it has been flattened to the exhaust pipe. Inevitably the impression that give us is like a compact motorcycle.

It seems like they have introduced a 1-L motor in an adapted pack for a 600 c.c. At the time we can only watch this superbike and expect its launching in December to test it.
