[Video]: a ride with the new Honda CBR1000RR-R that says it all!

This is the big expectation of this season in WSBK. Honda will indeed be fielding a brand new CBR2020 model in 1000 which has multiplied the R's in its name as if to suggest a groan of pleasure. The interest is all the more heightened as, for the moment, it is shrouded in great secrecy. But approvals for fins have attracted attention while the hiring of Alvaro Bautista taken from Ducati shows that HRC no longer intends to make up the numbers this time. Should the competition be worried? ?By watching this video, maybe…

Site vigilance Todocircuito took it so far as to scrutinize the BSB players who took a test run on the Almeria track with their new Honda. Since this news CBR 1000 RR-R SP was developed in the greatest secrecy by Honda, this high-speed lap of the circuit gives some lessons on the potential of the beast... And it is big!

This 2020 Fireblade is that of Honda Racing UK, the official team of the brand with the golden wings in British Superbikes, which, this year, will ride with Andrew et Glenn Irwin in the Superbike category, also trusting Davey Todd et Tom Neave in Superstock 1000.

This video shared by Honda Racing shows the first performance on the new completely standard 1000 hp CBR 217 RR-R SP devouring the Andalusia Circuit with Glenn Irwin at the handlebars. We are close to 300 km/h a few times… Looking forward to January 22 and 23 in Jerez where Alvaro Bautista will be WSBK tests with the full competition version…
