2020 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade UK Prices Announced

The new Honda CBR1000RR-R is one of the most awaited superbikes since it was unveiled at the EICMA 2019 show in Milan, Italy, in November 2019. With the most powerful engine ever in a Fireblade, as well as electronic suspension in the top-spec SP variant, as well as aerodynamic winglets, it was expected that the Fireblade will get revised pricing. And now, with UK prices announced for the 2020 Honda CBR1000RR-R, it will definitely be on the expensive side, even when it's launched in India, sometime later in 2020.

New Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP features Brembo Stylema brakes

The base variant of the 2020 Honda CBR1000RR-R is priced at GBP 19,999 (around Rs. 18.57 lakh) and the SP model is priced at GBP 23,499 (around Rs. 21.84 lakh). Both variants get the same engine, a new 999 cc, inline four cylinder engine that puts out 215 bhp of power at 14,500 rpm and 113 Nm of peak torque at 12,500 rpm. The difference in the base variant and the SP model is that the top-spec variant gets electronically adjustable semi-active Ohlins suspension, Brembo Stylema brake calipers and of course the Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) paintjob.

However, pricing isn't as simple as just converting the UK price to INR under current exchange rates. While it's expected that Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) will, at some point, offer the flagship superbike on sale in India, it will be a full import, or a completely built unit (CBU), which will attract levies and import duties, so it is quite likely that the new CBR1000RR-R, when it's launched in India, will be an expensive motorcycle. We're not sure if HMSI will offer both the base and SP variants, but logically speaking, it makes sense to offer the new CBR1000RR-R in limited numbers, and on special orders. So, expect prices of over Rs. 20 lakh once it's launched in India.

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

Image
A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Honda 850 cc Parallel-Twin Engine Revealed In Patent Filings

Image
Latest patent images from Japan seem to indicate that Honda may be working on an all-new 850 cc, parallel-twin engine. And the new engine, with more displacement to meet the Euro 5 emission regulations, will replace the current engine on the Honda NC750 range, with the engine and chassis shares amongst several Honda models including the Honda NC750S naked bike, the NC750D Integra scooter, the NC750X adventure tourer, as well as the Honda X-ADV adventure scooter. None of these models are offered on sale in India, but with new emission regulations looming around the corner in Europe, Honda is possibly looking to explore an increase in displacement to meet those norms.

Indian FTR 1200 Rally Revealed

Image
Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look. There is a new rally windscreen as well, which sits atop the headlamp. Also Read: Indian FTR 1200 Review (The Indian FTR 1200 Rally gets the same engine as the standard FTR 1200.
