In a small bid to satiate some of the enthusiasts' curiosity, Honda has released the first teaser of the 2017 CBR1000RR (Fireblade), titled Total Control.


After so many spy pictures and rumours over the last couple of weeks, Honda Motorcycle has officially released a teaser of what looks like the 2017 Honda CBR1000RR (Fireblade). According to the video, named "Total Control," it seems like the first of a teaser series and more videos could be released soon. The video also shows a date in the end, October 4, 2016, which is also the date of press day of the INTERMOT motorcycle fair in Cologne, Germany. So, we can expect the debut of the next-gen Fireblade at this upcoming event.

The teaser video also says that the 2017 Honda Fireblade will be sharper than ever and the title also suggests that the company has reworked on the geometry. We can expect better handling abilities from the upcoming model of the bike, which was already known for its excellent road characteristics. Though the video, shot at the United States' Thunderhill Raceway Park, just reveals the rear tyre of the bike, the spy pictures of the 2017 CBR1000RR have already told us that it is getting a complete style revamp. The new model looks edgier, sharper and more aerodynamic as compared to the existing version. The new front fairing and the headlights appear inspired by the recently introduced lightweight supersport concept, the Honda CBR250RR, and the rear section is also looking sleeker.

It's obvious that Honda will work on the litre-class inline-four engine of the CBR1000RR to make it Euro-4 compliant. However, we are also expecting a power boost to match up with the performance of its updated rivals. We believe that the updated model of the iconic Fireblade will also get an advanced electronic package to meet the new standards of safety set by other litre-class supersport machines like the 2015 Yamaha YZF-R1 and the 2016 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R.

For more details on the 2017 Honda CBR1000RR, let's wait for the next teaser video, but the complete details will be out at the upcoming INTERMOT show which is just less than two weeks away.
