At the heart of the 2008 Honda CBR 1000 RR sport motorcycle, Honda pairs a 999 cc (61 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 76.0 x 55.1 mm (3.0 x 2.2 inches) with a 12.3:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,407 mm (55.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17.78-liter (4.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
