The Honda CBR1000RR was one of the sportiest models ever manufactured by the Japanese maker, with race-derived features that delivered massive performance, great handling, riding, and built quality.
In 2013, Honda released the CBR1000RR C-ABS, a sports bike powered by a 998cc four-cylinder engine and set in motion by a six-speed manual transmission with a slipper clutch, and was offered in two versions, the standard and the C-ABS version.
As its name says, it featured C-ABS, which was a system that combined the traditional ABS with real-wheel lift control that allowed better braking performance and stability either on slippery surfaces or for track purposes.
Some of the key features of the bike were the dynamic styling package composed of the nose, main fairing, and tail section that created an aggressive and dynamic appearance, and the 12-spoke cast aluminum wheels that provided rigidity to match the suspension and also offered improved handling.
Among other race-derived features, the 2013 Honda CBR1000RR C-ABS had at its core a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 176 hp at 12,000rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque available at 8,500 rpm.
As for suspension, the bike packed a 43 mm telescopic fork with Showa's Big Piston technology on the front that increased front tire grip and offered better stability under braking and an advanced Showa rear shock system that was first offered on a production model with the 2012 model and offered a more accurate response and improved traction.
