2008 Honda Fireblade CBR1000RR: The Apex Predator Unleash the legend. This 2008 Honda Fireblade CBR1000RR is a masterpiece of superbike engineering, designed with a singular focus: total control. This generation of the Fireblade shocked the world with its radical, mass-centralized design, MotoGP-inspired technology, and a ferocious new 999cc engine. This is a pure, unadulterated race-bred machine built to dominate the road and the track.
Aggressive, Mass-Centralized Styling
The 2008 Fireblade’s design is a radical departure, defined by its aggressive, minimalist fairings and the iconic, low-slung “stubby” side exhaust, which centralizes mass for lightning-fast handling. Finished in a striking Pearl White and Black, every line on this bike is sculpted for aerodynamic efficiency and a predatory stance. Aftermarket upgrades like the GPR exhaust, tail tidy, and custom levers enhance its aggressive look.
Ferocious 999cc Inline-Four Engine
At the heart of this apex predator is a completely new 999cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, inline-four engine, designed to be lighter and more powerful than ever. This powerhouse delivers a brutal midrange punch and a screaming top-end rush, all controlled by a precise six-speed cassette-style gearbox. The addition of a GPR exhaust unleashes the true, raw soundtrack of this incredible motor.
MotoGP-Derived Handling and Control
This Fireblade is built on a new-generation, hollow fine-die-cast aluminum frame, offering superior rigidity and feedback. It features high-spec, fully adjustable Showa suspension front and rear, along with Tokico radial-mounted front calipers for phenomenal stopping power. The bike is also equipped with the Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD), which automatically adjusts damping force for stability at high speeds and light steering in town.
Braking System
Front: Dual 320 mm discs with radial-mounted 4-piston calipers and sintered metal pads. Rear: Single 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper. This track-ready system provides immense, fade-free stopping power with exceptional feel and control, giving you the confidence to push the limits.
A True Rider’s Superbike
With 41,664 km on the clock, this 2008 Honda Fireblade CBR1000RR has been ridden and enjoyed. It represents one of the most significant leaps in the Fireblade’s history, offering a raw, analog superbike experience combined with modern technology. It’s the ultimate machine for the adrenaline-fueled rider who demands razor-sharp handling and breathtaking performance.

Great motorcycle workshop. Alan was absolutely amazing, knows what he’s doing, very friendly, 10/10 recommend. Before a full service here, I didn’t think that my ’89 Spada could ride so beautifully.
Thanks lads.

Great motorcycle shop! I dealt with Alan, and he was super fair. They have a wide selection—from cruisers to retro mopeds and sportsbikes. Everything felt honest and straightforward, which I really liked. The bikes and service are top-notch, and I look forward to future deals.
Thanks again lads.
