The 2010 Honda Fireblade CBR1000RR gets some new colours and touch-ups next year, leading the pack for a number of releases Honda has made over the last couple of days. Building on last year’s addition of ABS brakes, the 2010 CBR1000RR gets some engine modifications for better power delivery, too.

Honda says:

How do you improve upon the machine rated best by one magazine after the other, a revolutionary literbike that’s the lightest, best handling, most compact and highest performing sportbike to be found? Last year we made the CBR1000RR available with our high-tech electronically controlled Combined ABS for the ultimate in sophisticated sportbike braking performance, and the new 2010 model adds engine changes that provide an even smoother power delivery.

New for 2010

* Increased-diameter flywheel for more inertia and improved performance.
* Redesigned license plate stay for easier removal on track days.
* New muffler cover for enhanced appearance.
* Exciting new colors: Pearl Orange/Light Metallic Silver and Red/Black. C-ABS model available in Black only.

Below you’ll find a gallery of the new Fireblade colours, plus the CBR1000RR technical specs for 2010. With the Yamaha R1 breathing down its neck, the Fireblade is still looking good for next year.
