The 2024 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP discussed here is Honda’s 24YM European-market model, announced in November 2023—not the U.S.-market 2024 CBR1000RR. Honda’s U.S. materials identify the RR-R Fireblade SP as a 2025 model. For the European SP, Honda lists 160 kW (217 PS) at 14,000 rpm and 113 Nm at 12,000 rpm, alongside revised engine tuning, shorter gearbox ratios, new winglets, and updated chassis and electronics.

Which 2024 CBR1000RR-R does this refer to?

Honda’s “24YM” designation refers to its 2024 model-year European CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP. Market labels matter: Honda’s U.S. 2024 specification release covers the CBR1000RR and CBR1000RR ABS, while American Honda announced the RR-R Fireblade SP as a 2025 U.S. model in July 2024. The European SP’s specifications and prices should not be presented as U.S. 2024 specifications or availability. Honda Motor Europe’s 24YM press kit and American Honda’s model-year materials distinguish those lineups.

What changed for the 2024 European SP?

Honda revised the engine, gearbox, chassis, riding position, aerodynamics, brakes, and electronic suspension for 24YM. These are manufacturer-described changes; the available official material is not an independent performance test.

  • Engine and gearing: Honda lists revisions to the cylinder head, compression ratio, valve timing, and valve springs, as well as a lighter crankshaft and connecting rods. Gear ratios are shorter throughout the six-speed gearbox.
  • Throttle and engine braking: The 2-Motor Throttle By Wire system is described by Honda as improving low-rpm control and allowing stronger engine braking when desired.
  • Chassis and position: Honda specifies a more pliant aluminum frame and a revised riding position.
  • Aerodynamics: New winglets are claimed to maintain downforce while reducing yaw moment in cornering by 10 percent compared with the prior design. That percentage is Honda’s stated comparison, not an independently measured result.
  • Brakes and suspension: The SP gains updated Brembo brakes and Öhlins Smart Electronic Control 3.0 suspension.

Honda’s 24YM press kit describes the changes and their intended effects.

The European SP’s listed equipment includes a six-axis IMU, three-level Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD), cornering ABS with a Race setting, adjustable riding modes, a five-inch TFT display, Smart Key, quickshifter, LED lighting, and emergency stop signals. Honda’s equipment list is in the 24YM press kit.

How the SP and Carbon Edition differ

The Carbon Edition is a limited cosmetic and weight-focused version of the SP, rather than a separate engine specification in Honda’s announcement. Honda Germany said it would be limited to 300 units worldwide and specified carbon-fiber upper and lower fairings, winglets, and wheel covers, plus a numbered special plate. Honda lists its kerb weight at 200 kg, compared with 201 kg for the standard SP. Availability now cannot be inferred from the launch announcement. Details are in Honda Germany’s Carbon Edition announcement.

CBR1000RR Fender Eliminator Tail Tidy Kit Compatible with CBR1000RR & CBR1000RR-R Fireblade & CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP License Plate Mount with Turn Signals Rear (Smoke)
  • FITMENT – Fender eliminator kit compatible with CBR1000RR 2017-2025 & CBR1000RR-R Fireblade 2020-2025 & CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP 2020-2025. Designed as a model-specific rear license plate holder, license plate bracket and tail tidy to replace the bulky factory rear fender. Please confirm your motorcycle model, year and mounting points before purchasing.
  • 3MM ALUMINUM FENDER ELIMINATOR – Made from 3mm high-strength aluminum with precision laser cutting and CNC bending for a lightweight yet rigid structure. The anodized finish helps resist corrosion and weather exposure while replacing the bulky OEM rear fender with a cleaner, more compact tail appearance. Ideal for replacing a damaged factory rear fender, removing the bulky stock fender, or customizing the motorcycle with a streamlined tail setup.
  • LED LICENSE PLATE LIGHT INCLUDED – Includes a white 3-LED license plate light to illuminate the rear license plate at night. Approx. 35cm wire length with positive (+) and negative (-) leads for connection to the motorcycle's original wiring. Manual wiring is required; this light is not plug-and-play.
  • AMBER LED REAR TURN SIGNALS – Includes 1 pair of left and right amber LED turn signals with Acrylic + ABS + PU housings and a steel internal support structure. Rated at 12V / 1.5W with approx. 27cm wires. The compact indicators provide rear signaling while complementing the streamlined tail tidy and fender eliminator design. Manual wiring is required.
  • INSTALLATION AND LED NOTICE – Before installation, test the LED lights with an external battery to identify and confirm each wire before connecting them to the motorcycle's original wiring. Incorrect wiring may cause malfunction or damage. Because LEDs consume less power than factory bulbs, hyper-flashing may occur and may require LED load resistors or an LED-compatible flasher relay; resistors are not included. Mounting screws are not included; reuse applicable OEM hardware. Align the bracket before tightening all hardware and use threadlocker where appropriate. No installation instructions are included. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with motorcycle wiring.

What the official figures do—and do not—tell you

Honda’s materials establish its stated European SP specifications, described 24YM revisions, and dated regional launch information. They do not establish independent instrumented performance, present-day inventory, current transaction prices, or used-market values. Treat performance and aerodynamic benefits as Honda’s claims unless supported by independent testing.
