This pre-owned 2008 Honda CBR1000RR in Candy Dark Red & Metallic Silver is available for sale at Euro Cycles of Tampa Bay located at 8509 Gunn Highway, Odessa, Florida 33556 PH: 813-926-9937 Web: www.EuroCyclesofTampaBay.comOPTIONS:This 2008 Honda CBR1000RR is equipped with Honda Electronic Steering Damper, Pazzo Racing Shorty Levers, LED Taillight, LED Turn Signals, Fender Eliminator, Solo Seat Cowl, Sato Racing Engine Sliders, T-Rex Racing Frame Sliders, Front & Rear Axel Sliders, Sato Racing Adjustable Rear Sets, Reversible Spindle Shift Holder, Sato Racing Hooks, Jardine RT5 Carbon Fiber Exhaust System, Power Commander 5, Dark Smoke Windscreen,OVERVIEW:Honda dazzled us with its spectacular power, light, agile handling and rock-steady stability.Among Honda's goals with the new CBR was the reduction of weight and physical size. The engine alone is more than 5 pounds lighter, and despite a bore that's 1mm larger (combined with a 1.4mm-shorter stroke), the cylinder is no wider. The cylinder head, however, is 15mm shorter and carries the weight of its valve train lower than before. Such details all contribute to centralizing mass, as does the underslung exhaust that replaces the under-seat system used previously.In the chassis, the frame is stronger and more rigid, yet is 5.5 pounds lighter and 1.2 inches narrower. Wheelbase is the same as on the '07 bike, but the more-compact motor allows the use of a longer swingarm that works through Honda's Unit Pro-Link rear suspension. More than a pound of weight was pared from the alloy wheels, with the front-brake system shedding another 1.5 pounds of unsprung weight. The dual 320mm floating front rotors now have four fewer attachment buttons, reducing the rotational inertia of the rotor/carrier assembly for easier steering.A lighter, more compact Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD), like the one on last year's CBR600RR, hides beneath the fuel-tank cover. The stability afforded by the damper allowed a 2.5mm increase in triple-clamp offset, resulting in reduced trail for even quicker steering response.Two interesting features make their debut on the new 1000RR. One is the Ignition Interrupt Control (IIC), which, contrary to early rumors, is not traction control. It's a system designed to minimize the effects of drivetrain lash when the throttle is first cracked open. It does this by reducing initial power output just long enough to more gradually take up the freeplay between shift dogs. IIC only functions between 2500 and 6000 rpm, and the amount of interrupt is uniquely programmed for each gear in the six-speed box.
