At the heart of the 2014 Honda Fireblade SP sport motorcycle, Honda features a 999.8 cc (61 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 178.4 HP (130.2 kW) at 12,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 114 Nm (84.1 lb-ft) at 10,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 178.4 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (10,500 rpm) and peak power (12,250 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Fireblade SP measures 199 kg (439 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.9 HP/kg (1.12 kg per horsepower). 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 1,410 mm (55.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17.5-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.56 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 315 km (196 miles) between fill-ups.
