2009 cbr1000rr abs blackThe 2008 Honda CBR1000RR was a dramatically revised version of the flagship literbike, and changes to the 2009 model include the addition of ABS (differentiated by bronze colored calipers), a new Repsol edition, a matte black-painted engine, and new color schemes.
The colors of the British version (the Fireblade) are seen here, and paint schemes for the U.S. version have not yet been released.
The primary target market for the 2009 Fireblade CBR1000RR ABS is of course the ones who like the track more than the street - the ABS is tuned for racing.
The Fireblade CBR1000RR will be available in MotoGP-replica Repsol Honda colours and a red-blue-and-white HRC color scheme.
What we hear is that the ABS is pretty subtle, and non-intrusive allowing for extreme braking before cutting in. In other words, it does not take away from the riding experience and does not diminish control. However, what it does is to keep the bike on the track, thus making for less wheelies and stoppies.
All else in the 2009 version are the same as the 2008 model. Honda’s principles of minimalization continues with the Fireblade CBR1000RR new motorcycle. 2008’s new light weight 4 clyinder 16 valve engine, 175 bhp power at 12000 rpm, 84 lb ft torque and six speed are all there, and now added with an optional ABS are there to thrill you. Price of 2009 the Fireblade CBR1000RR version has not been announced yet, so for now, you will have to look at the photos and stay happy.
