The affected MY2020 Honda CBR1000RR-R motorcycles need a new heat shield and replacement of the oil cooler outlet pipe with a new one. The India recall follows a similar one announced in the US in February this year.

The price cut makes the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade brings it on par in terms of pricing when compared to its rivals. The new prices are applicable only for limited units though.

Honda has brought the 2022 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP with a host of upgrades for the new model year, while there's the 30th-anniversary livery that brings a retro touch to the litre-class offering.

Honda has unveiled the updated Honda CBR1000RR for 2019 at the ongoing EICMA show in Milan. Although there's been some expectation of a complete revamp of the CBR1000RR, Honda chose to give it a 'mild' update for 2019. Primarily, the changes are in the electronics, with separate traction control and wheelie control for Honda's well-known superbike. Riders can now choose to have different amounts of intervention from each, meaning wheelie control can now be dialled up low, but with more traction control, and vice versa. The instrument console gets a separate three-position 'W' setting, alongside Power, Engine Braking and HSTC or traction control settings.

The Honda CBR1000RR received its last comprehensive update in 2017 but the changes, although extensive, weren't enough to take on the competition that is currently miles ahead. Nevertheless, it is now believed that Honda is readying up an all-new iteration of the CBR1000RR and the motorcycle will be making its debut sometime next year.
