The iconic Honda CBR1000RR has received a series of modifications for 2014. The new model year comes with a fresh windscreen, a revised riding position and more power.

The motorcycle continues to be propelled by the same 999cc, liquid-cooled, inline four-cylinder, DOHC engine. However, the unit is now able to deliver more power and torque due to the revised cylinder head, exhaust and air intake. Its power is kept in leash by a close ratio six speed transmission.

The engine is mounted on a four-piece aluminum frame which offers a perfect balance between strength, rigidity and lightness.

For enhanced safety, the Honda CBR1000RR is available with a Combined Anti-Lock Braking System (C-ABS) which is the first of its kind offered for a Superbike.

For 2014 the Honda CBR1000RR has also received a new Pearl White finish which is available both for the standard and ABS models.

Overview

Honda Best Gets Even Better

Known for being the best overall liter bike package, the CBR1000RR cements its stellar reputation with several improvements for 2014, including a new ride position, a new windscreen and engine and exhaust modifications for more power and torque. There’s also a new Pearl White finish on Honda standard and ABS models.

For the track day enthusiast, there’s even more great news: a special CBR1000RR SP version with fully adjustable Öhlins front and rear suspension, Brembo front brakes and Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SC premium tires. A special lightweight subframe and a new-design rear single-seat cowl also shave weight. Plus, it features hand-selected engine parts for weight and balance, including pistons and connecting rods to improve track performance.

The future’s looking bright indeed—especially if you’re on a 2014 CBR1000RR.

Even Better For 2014.

Honda has increased power with a revised cylinder head, exhaust and air intake. Honda has also changed the riding position and added a new windscreen to improve rider-vehicle connection, especially in track use. Honda even went with a new-wave key to reduce weight.

Front and Rear Suspension.

The CBR1000RR features suspension in both front and rear. Up front, the 43mm Big Piston Showa fork is smoother and more responsive; in the back, the Unit Pro-Link design uses a balance-free rear shock with a double-tube design for a smoother response and better road-holding feel (traction performance).

LCD Instrumentation.

The CBR1000RR’s full-screen LCD instrumentation includes a lap timer, trip and fuel-consumption computer, five-level customizable shift indicator, gear-position indicator and peak-rpm memory function.

Revolutionary Doesn’t Begin To Describe These Brakes.

The available Combined Anti-Lock Braking System (C-ABS) is the first of its kind on a Superbike. Even the most critical motorcycle testers rave about how well they work. Find out what the experts have to say about this revolutionary feature.

2014 Honda CBR1000RR Features and Benefits:

New Windscreen

On all 2014 CBR1000RR models, a new, bubble-shaped windscreen works in concert with the new rider position changes to reduce wind resistance.

LCD Instruments

The CBR1000RR’s full-screen LCD instrumentation includes a lap timer, trip and fuel-consumption computer, five-level customizable shift indicator, gear-position indicator and peak-rpm memory function.

12-Spoke Wheels

With their consistent rigidity and balance, these sharp-looking 12-spoke cast-aluminum wheels work with the new fork and enhance suspension feedback to deliver real handling improvements.

Big Piston Fork (BPF) Front Suspension

The CBR1000RR’s front suspension uses a Big Piston Fork (BPF). The 43mm Showa fork is smoother, more responsive and gives you excellent front-end feedback.

Available Combined Anti-Lock Braking System (Electronic C-ABS)

Electronically controlled C-ABS distributes brake force over both wheels, helping to maintain braking confidence in less-than-ideal conditions. The system electronically measures rider input on the brake lever and pedal, and applies only the front or rear brake in some cases or combines both brakes in other situations. (Not available on CBR1000RR SP model)

Centrally Located Fuel Tank

The CBR1000RR’s 4.7-gallon fuel tank is positioned in the center of the chassis and low in the frame. This allows for a more compact design, but more importantly it helps centralize the bike’s mass. Increased mass centralization means the CBR is more responsive to rider input, especially when leaning the bike into a turn or standing it up at the exit.

Dual-Stage Fuel Injection

The CBR1000RR features two sets of injectors per cylinder for both low- and high-rpm performance, instantaneous high-rpm response and great low-rpm metering and clean running. Refined EFI settings make the engine even more manageable, with smoother throttle response specifically at smaller throttle openings.

Layered Fairing

There’s no mistaking the new 2014 CBR1000RR, thanks to its layered fairing bodywork. Lean, mean, more aggressive from front to back, it’s a real attention getter, even when it’s standing still.

Twin-Spar Aluminum Chassis

A four-piece aluminum frame design balances strength, rigidity and lightness. Wrapped tightly around the engine, the structure helps centralize the CBR1000RR’s mass for more responsive handling—some of the best anywhere on two wheels.

Assisted Slipper Clutch

Superbikes can deliver a great deal of back-torque through the driveline, upsetting handling. Not the CBR1000RR. Its Honda-designed assisted slipper clutch is the same type used on our MotoGP bikes. The design does away with the need for heavy clutch springs, ensuring full power transmission with smooth shifting and a light clutch pull at the lever.

Unit Pro-Link Rear Suspension

The CBR1000RR features front and rear suspension. In the back, the Unit Pro-Link design uses a new balance-free rear shock with a double-tube design for a smoother and more accurate response.

Revised Cylinder Head And Exhaust

The 2014 CBR1000RR features changes to the cylinder head, including revised valve seats, machining and intake exhaust port shape. Along with modifications to the intake and exhaust systems, this creates more horsepower and torque.

Gull-Wing Swingarm

The CBR1000RR’s braced aluminum “gull-wing” swingarm is deliberately long. That helps deliver improved traction and gives the rider excellent chassis feedback.
