Honda Racing UK lift the covers on its 2021 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP

The Honda Racing UK team has pulled back the covers to unveil the 2021 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP that Glenn Irwin, Ryo Mizuno and Takumi Takahashi will race this season in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship, as well as Tom Neave in the Pirelli National Superstock Championship. 

 

For the 2021 season, the Honda Racing UK Fireblade goes back to its roots and features the iconic Tri-Colour livery, with the addition of a carbon fibre mudguard, belly pan and rear hugger, which can be purchased separately through Honda Genuine Parts for the road going machine.  

 

Eagle-eyed fans will spot the continuation of long-standing partnerships with Akrapovič and Castrol, as well as Performance Parts, Close Brothers, Nova Racing and Datatool, with a new sponsor onboard for the season, RK Chains.
