Why was the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade recalled?
This recall (named by Honda as “product improvement”), extended the life of the engine, to a period after the extended warranty had expired, thus relieving Honda from their legal responsibility.

Is the slipper clutch on a Honda CBR1000RR?
This model also features a slipper clutch – a first since the HRC WSB special RC45 – and it works; get the braking over and snick down three and let the lever out. Perfect. Marked down a notch here because of the Honda CBR1000RR’s not so attractive fairing, which, to be honest, isn’t so bad in the flesh.
