Based on key phrases such as "compact, lightweight, mass concentration" that have been notable features of successive generations of CBR-RR, themes of "speed" and "dynamic" have been increasingly integrated to further highlight the machine's racing image.
These qualities of "speed" and "dynamism" have been highlighted further by the use of a wedge-shaped theme and sharp character lines at the front of the bike. With a line-beam headlight and air intake shapes adding even greater sharpness, the new CBR1000RR offers a novel and intrepid front face.
