Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP Inducted Into Red Dot Design Museum

The Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP has now been officially inducted into the Red Dot contemporary design museum in Essen, Germany. There are currently three Red Dot Museums worldwide, one in Singaport, the second in Xiamen, China and the one in Essen, Germany. Naturally, to be inducted into a Red Dot Museum, a product must first win a Red Dot Design Award. The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP has already won the 2020 Red Dot Design Award in the motorcycle category, one of the most prestigious design awards in the world.

"If I'm thinking about Honda, the first thing that comes to mind is motorbikes," said Red Dot Design Award founder and CEO, Peter Zec. "The Honda Fireblade deserves the Red Dot because the jury liked it very much, and we have really crazy judges that challenged the bike, including a professional racing bike rider. It's not just good design, it has perfect performance too, which is the main reason why it received the Red Dot."

While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
