The 2022 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP and 30th Anniversary Edition are likely to come to India next year

The 2022 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP retains the same 999 cc in-line four-cylinder engine and the aerodynamic bodywork. The bike though gets tweaks for more stable cornering and improved corner-exit speed. The bike now sports a 43-tooth rear sprocket that's up by three teeth; new intake ports, updated airbox funnels and a revised exhaust mid-section. Power output though remains the same at 215 bhp, while the company has optimised the Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) for more refined rear tyre traction management.

The Fireblade SP's Ohlins Smart Electronic Control (SE-C) and Brembo equipment continue to be carried over along with the optimised quickshifter.
