2012 Honda CBR1000RR C ABS Specs and Review

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9zqNa0xSFhtsdvxStylyEQCh0fSpXtJehcEE53SolFTxLjfEuNf2QPSlGMCZLEXduDU92xwqSDtwnyf0n3rqwqzCLYkYCP8ndOJ17c17uCIt3Z2UZyIIP-MP_EDi7qHJRtn7JwGqP4n4/s1600/2012+Honda+CBR1000RR.jpg

Hondas 2012 Honda CBR1000RR C-ABS is the essential superbike-the perfect balance of power and handling designed to work together as one complete package. The CBR900RR set the bar for liter-bike performance when it was introduced 20 years ago, and the new 2012 Honda CBR1000RR C-ABS sets that bar even higher. For 2012, the Honda CBR1000RR C-ABS boasts even better handling via a patented Balance-Free Rear Shock, Big Piston Fork and new wheels. Add to that a 999.8cc engine pumping out huge midrange horsepower and torque for class-leading real-world muscle, and you have a high-performance package unmatched in its overall balance by the competition. In addition, new aggressive bodywork aids aerodynamic flow and high-speed handling, and new LCD instrumentation including a lap timer, five-level shift indicator and more, redefine the pure essence of liter-class sportbikes.

There’s big news when it comes to the new 2012 Honda CBR1000RR C-ABS. The 2012 Honda CBR1000RR C-ABS is already the essential Superbike, offering a perfectly integrated combination of power, handling, and overall balance for both the street and the track. But this year we’ve taken this versatile machine and given it some major upgrades. New suspension, new bodywork, new instrumentation, new wheels—and that’s just the start. All that in addition to its famously powerful 999cc liquid-cooled inline-four-cylinder engine and all-aluminum twin-spar chassis.
The future’s looking bright indeed—at least if you’re looking at it from behind the bars of a new 2012 CBR1000RR C-ABS.

Whenever motorcyclists gather for a session of bench-racing, comments aimed toward big-bore sportbikes often carry a bit of arms-length awe: these are potent, high-powered machines and not for the faint of heart. However, such tales have arguably helped build the reputation of Hondas CBR1000RR C-ABS, a full-on sporting literbike that shatters class stereotypes with its surprisingly accommodating manners. Thanks to its magnum-level performance along with a near-perfect blend of streetability, versatility, rider feel and balanced character, the CBR1000RR C-ABS has for years held high the class standard for well-rounded capabilities. Of course, it helps greatly that the CBR1000RR C-ABS is sized and weighs in alongside 600cc-class sportbikes, but thats a longstanding family trait.

It barely seems like the blink of an eye, but it was 20 years ago that Honda ushered in the modern era of big-displacement street-going sportbikes with the CBR900RR. Back in 1992, the concept of "light makes right" produced a lightweight and compact CBR900RR that quickly established its standing as a wonder in its time. The CBR900RR not only delivered big-time power in a middleweight-sized package that begat exemplary handling, it also provided a heretofore-unknown level of overall balance that gave the rider a direct, connected feel with the motorcycle.
The motoring press and sportbike enthusiasts alike lavished praises on this first iteration of what grew to become an ongoing series, and the accolades continued flowing as successive models advanced that basic concept, which was-and continues to be-so capable and rewarding. We now see these endearing and enduring qualities carry forward to this day, embodied in the 2012 CBR1000RR C-ABS. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the CBR-RR and in keeping with the original concept, the 2012 CBR1000RR C-ABS continues to supply exemplary liter-class sportbike performance, pumping out huge midrange horsepower and torque for class-leading real-world muscle in a great-handling high-performance package unmatched by the competition in its overall balance.
Changes to the CBR1000RR C-ABS for 2012 focus on sharpening what is arguably the most critical component in a motorcycle designed for sporting use: chassis performance. Granted, big-time horsepower always holds its own attractions and the CBR1000RR C-ABS pours out huge quantities of horsepower and torque right in the midrange where literbike aficionados want it to be-after all, whats the point of having a peaky big-bore bike? However, its the ultra-responsive middleweight-style handling that truly allows this large-displacement sportbike to shine.

Starting with a tried and proven four-piece Fine Die-Cast twin-spar aluminum frame, Hondas development team focused their efforts on incorporating innovative chassis components, specifically a new-concept rear shock, Big Piston Fork, plus new 12-spoke cast aluminum wheels that provide even more rigidity. In doing so, they were able to markedly expand the CBR1000RR C-ABSs handling prowess and enhance its braking and traction characteristics. In addition, newly designed bodywork following the layered fairing concept aids aerodynamic flow to create a large still-air pocket around the rider while also helping draw air through the cooling system. An integrated chin spoiler in the nose also reduces aerodynamic lift at speed, thereby improving handling, and the overall package lends a more aggressive appearance.

Newly refined EFI settings make the engine even more manageable, with smoother throttle response specifically at smaller throttle openings. New LCD instrumentation communicates everything from gear position to coolant temperature and speed. The cockpit display now incorporates a digital bar-type linear tachometer that offers four selectable modes for style of readout. Other instrumentation includes gear position indicator, five-level shift indicator adjustable for sequence interval, clock/four-mode lap timer, coolant temperature, speedometer, trip meter/fuel efficiency/fuel consumption, low-fuel warning light and odometer/numerical tachometer. At the bottom of the display are lights for headlight high beam, neutral and turn signal functions. All in all, these changes make the rider/machine interface smoother and more rider friendly.
The main objectives in the further development of the CBR1000RR C-ABSs suspension setup included: smoother suspension action, improved rider feel, and increased grip and traction. To achieve those goals, the 2012 Honda CBR1000RR C-ABS rear suspension system still features Hondas acclaimed single-shock Unit Pro-Link® configuration, but now it introduces the first Balance-Free Rear Shock on a production motorcycle, an advancement developed in conjunction with world-leading suspension specialist Showa that has patent protection pending.
In place of the conventional single-tube shock configuration, the Balance-Free Rear Shock design incorporates a double-tube design featuring a damper case plus an internal cylinder. The damper piston does not feature any valves; instead, the damping force is generated as displaced oil passes through a separate damping component. In conventional rear shocks the damping force is generated in two places, the main and sub damping valves. In the Balance-Free Rear Shock, however, this action is handled in one circuit, allowing pressure changes to be controlled more smoothly by a larger body of oil. The net result is more responsive damping and a smoother, better-controlled damping action, particularly during the transition from compression to rebound. As a result, the Balance-Free Rear Shock delivers more consistent damping over the duration of a ride, track session or race, improved shock absorption and greater traction since contact is more consistently maintained between the rear tire and the road or track surface. In addition, the adjusters for compression and rebound damping settings are placed prominently on the top of the shock body for quick and easy access.
To complement the Balance-Free Rear Shock, the front suspension system now features an inverted 43mm telescopic fork incorporating Showas Big Piston Fork technology. This new fork uses a unique construction with a larger damping volume to effectively reduce the hydraulic pressure generated as the fork legs compress and extend. The result is more precise action during the initial stroke and smoother damping action, which the rider perceives as improved handling, enhanced front-end feedback and a more solid feel during hard braking.

As before, CBR1000RR C-ABS owners can also opt for Hondas advanced electronically controlled Combined ABS braking system, which offers the confidence of antilock braking while remaining so unobtrusive that it satisfies even the most committed sport riders. Updates to this system result in a modified front-brake effect better suited to sport riding: now when the rear brake pedal is actuated, theres less initial braking application from the front brake compared to the previous-generation setup, followed by more-progressive front-brake application as brake pedal pressure increases.

The CBR1000RR C-ABS has stood alone as the top-selling liter-class sportbike in Europe for a number of years, a market filled with extremely discriminating sportbike riders who really give their bikes a thorough workout. The 2012 Honda CBR1000RR C-ABS remains exceedingly popular with this highly demanding crowd thanks to its inherent soundness-a purity of purpose, if you will, that continues to reward the most sophisticated sport riders. The 2012 CBR1000RR C-ABS possesses an extreme versatility that makes the machine a genuine pleasure, whether its time for a quick afternoon ride, a weeks exploration down twisty roads or a weekend spent at the track.
Which is not to say the CBR1000RR C-ABS isnt amazingly potent; witness the efforts of John McGuiness at the Isle of Man races in July 2011, where he set a new course record aboard the previous generation CBR1000RR C-ABS. This awe-inspiring example of racing capabilities on the most extreme of road courses stands as bold testimony for a machine designed from the get-go with both a sound concept and strong execution-no need for the interventions of traction control or harsh-onset wheelie control used in other machines. The CBR1000RR C-ABS rewards riders who appreciate this machines unparalleled feeling of transparent connectedness, and who prefer to rely on their own skills as a method of traction control. Time and time again in comparison tests the world over, the CBR1000RR C-ABS posts laps times quicker than its competition equipped with electronic interventions, and the reason is simple: Fast laps on a track, like good times on the street, have more to do with a machines overall balance and rideability than anything else. Thats the secret to the CBR1000RR C-ABSs long-time popularity.
In the end, the CBR1000RR C-ABS imparts an uncanny connection between rider and motorcycle thanks to its extraordinary balance, all-around performance and remarkably integrated feel. For 2012, Hondas engineers have further honed and sharpened these characteristics, offering riders the opportunity to step up and open the next chapter to the motorcycle thats become a living legend among sportbikes.

2012 Honda Rune concept

2012 Honda Rune concept is powered by a massive 1,832c liquid-cooled overhead-cam, horizontally-opposed six-cylinder engine that was actually built for the new GL1800 Gold Wing. Apparently, Honda engineers loved the powertrain so much they decided to put it on the Rune too. That’s a very good thing because as one of the more impressive hot rods to ever be built by Honda, it had to come with impressive performance credentials. The 2012 Honda Rune concept’s engine comes with six 32mm throttle bodies with 12-hole injectors, replacing the previously-used twin-body system and upgrading the fuel flow of the whole system for a freer flowing system. There are also new camshafts incorporated into the entire set-up while a revised 3-D fuel injection and ignition timing mapping, along with a new close-ratio gearbox, all help make the 2012 Honda Rune concept a true road warrior in every sense of the word. If there ever was any indication of the Rune’s capabilities, the bike actually outpaced the mighty Gold Wing on a drag strip by a 10th-of-a-second.

As far as this new suspension set-up is concerned, it uses twin pushrods to transfer suspension loads through a linkage system. These arms and links actuate what appear to be twin shocks flanking the steering head and headlight. But that’s only half the story. If you really dive in to the heart of it, you’ll notice that the right side of the linkage system contains only the main spring for the front suspension system, while the left shock handles damping duties and also contains a lighter weight sub- spring.

BMW, whether one’s musing about bikes or cars, has always had a reputation for quality. An example is BMW’s R1200R, “a “naked” (meaning without bodywork) cruiser with flair. It’s both quick and economical, surprising traits in a market segment known for flash, not dash. A week-long road test showed this $12,795 bike may be a partial answer to $4 per gallon gas.

The second model to be displayed by BMW Motorrad at EICMA Show is R1200 R, in both standard and Classic versions. Both combine a modern sporty and accentuated classical motorcycle design, once again with considerably greater quality and driving dynamics for even more riding fun.

The new R 1200 R is powered by a 1170 cc engine that delivers 110 HP at 7750 rpm and a peak torque of 119 NM at 6000 rpm. The new bike will be offered in three exterior colors: mat metallic smoky gray, metallic light gray, or metallic red apple.

2012 Honda Cbr1000rr Fireblade Review Pictures

Describing a bike by My knowledge using words like polished, secure and predictable, Id wager you wouldnt think I was referring to Hondas 2009 Fireblade. But the big superbike is actually one of the most sorted and usable machines out there. Something making a claimed 175bhp, not to mention having an immense speed potential, simply has no right to be as well-mannered and friendly as it is.The Honda is obviously the product of some very thoughtful and skilful design and engineering. In fact some might think its just a bit too civilised and refined to fully excite in the same way the other litre-sportsbikes can. But my own take on it is; what it might lack in sheer excitement, it more than makes up for in effectiveness. Making any sort of progress, even speedy, has rarely been as easy as is on this bike.Its hard to know where to start with the praise for the Honda, but Ill begin with one thing the CBR is very impressive at doing - stopping. Stopping very quickly and very safely.
