Leon Camier has pumped the brakes regarding expectations for the new Honda WorldSBK machine.
A former WorldSBK rider, who is currently leading his final tests as the Team Manager, emphasizes the need for a wait and see approach to determine the competitiveness of the new CBR1000RR-R. The bike has undergone various changes, including split throttle bodies, a lighter crankshaft, and different weight distribution and wings. The split throttle bodies are expected to provide improved grip and better connection upon opening the throttle. The lighter crankshaft should result in better acceleration and deceleration. The new weight distribution is aimed at enhancing the racing performance. Honda’s goal is to bring their competitiveness closer to that of Ducati, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and BMW.
