2012 Honda CBR1000RR, Be the 1st! - 20 Years of Superbike Domination. There s big news when it comes to the 2012 Honda CBR1000RR. The CBR1000RR is already the essential Superbike, offering a perfectly integrated combination of power, handling, and overall balance for both the street and the track. But this year we ve taken this versatile machine and given it some major upgrades. New suspension, new bodywork, new instrumentation, new wheels and that s just the start. All that in addition to its famously powerful 999 cc liquid-cooled inline-four-cylinder engine and all-aluminum twin-spar chassis. The future s looking bright indeed at least if you re looking at it from behind the bars of a 2012 CBR1000RR.
