The 2009 Honda Fireblade Review. When the all-new 2008 CBR1000RR was launched last year, it took the 1000cc class to a new level and represented the pinnacle of literbike performance. It was simply the best, most innovative open-class sportbike Honda has ever built. The 2009 CBR1000RR remains the lightest, most compact, and best performing motorcycle in the 1000cc class, and this year there are some new color options like Pearl White/Light Silver Metallic to choose from.  ABS is the big news for 2009 for those riders seeking better braking and control,  the CBR1000RR features Combined Anti-Lock Braking, the most advanced (and first-ever) ABS system to find its way onto an open-class superbike. All the cutting-edge tech and performance the class-leading CBR1000RR has to offer—power, light weight, agile handling, wicked styling—with the added performance bonus of combined anti-lock braking (ABS).
