Everything about buying a Honda CBR at Honda Motorrad Zürich: CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, Fireblade SP Carbon Edition, CBR650R E-Clutch, CBR600RR and CBR500RA (A2-compliant). Racing DNA with MotoGP technology, HRC tuning, Öhlins suspension, Brembo Stylema brakes, Apple CarPlay-capable cockpits, quickshifter and 6-axis IMU. Including test ride, leasing, trade-in and the 6-year Honda Swiss warranty — at the first Honda Dream Dealer in German-speaking Switzerland in Volketswil ZH.
The Honda CBR family ranges from the uncompromising CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP (217 hp, 1000 cc inline-four, Öhlins NPX Smart EC 2.0) through the mid-range CBR600RR (121 hp, 599 cc, MotoGP IMU) and the sporty CBR650R E-Clutch (95 hp, 649 cc four-cylinder) to the A2-compliant CBR500RA (47 hp, 471 cc twin). Every one of these CBR motorcycles carries the Honda Wing badge and comes out of the HRC engineering programme.
The Fireblade SP is based directly on the RC213V MotoGP race bike: aluminium twin-spar frame, longer swingarm for more traction, winglets for aerodynamic downforce. Brembo Stylema brake calipers with a radial master cylinder, a 200/55-17 rear tyre and throttle-by-wire with dual-motor control deliver absolute precision.

All CBR CBR models feature a modern 5" TFT cockpit with Bluetooth connectivity (CBR1000RR-R + CBR650R + CBR500RA E-Clutch) and smartphone pairing. The Fireblade SP displays MotoGP data layers, lean angle, brake pressure and wheelie control levels in real time. The CBR600RR takes its 6-axis IMU straight from the RC213V-S and delivers 9-level HSTC torque control, wheelie control, rear-lift control and cornering ABS.
The Honda E-Clutch on the CBR650R and CBR500RA takes over clutch operation automatically when pulling away, shifting and stopping — beginners and A2 riders benefit from jerk-free gear changes without losing the sporting character. The Fireblade SP's quickshifter allows clutchless up- and downshifts under full load.
The Honda E-Clutch is an electronically controlled clutch that takes over the clutch work without removing the hand lever. Pulling away, shifting and stopping all work without the clutch lever – and whoever wants to can still operate it manually at any time. Honda offers the E-Clutch on the Honda CBR 650 R (CBR650R) and the Honda CBR 500 R (CBR500R).
Two small electric motors operate the clutch within milliseconds. Sensors register engine speed, gear, throttle position and the force on the shift lever. The system decides how quickly the clutch closes – gently when pulling away, hard and fast when shifting up under load. Unlike a quickshifter, which only interrupts the load on the gearshift, the E-Clutch works across the entire rev range and when coming to a stop.
The biggest relief shows in city traffic: no clutch at the lights, no stalling when pulling away on a hill. On winding roads the left hand stays free for the line instead of the lever. Anyone who wants to ride conventionally simply pulls the clutch – the system steps back and rejoins automatically afterwards.
Among the Honda CBR models the E-Clutch is available for the Honda CBR 650 R and the Honda CBR 500 R. The surcharge over the model with a conventional clutch is moderate; the additional weight is around two kilograms. The system cannot be retrofitted – it is fitted at the factory. Current prices and availability are available from us in Volketswil.
A quickshifter allows clutchless up and down shifts while riding, but replaces neither pulling away nor stopping. The E-Clutch covers both. The Honda CBR 1000 RR-R Fireblade SP and the Honda CBR 600 RR come with a quickshifter, the Honda CBR 650 R and the Honda CBR 500 R optionally with E-Clutch. Which solution fits better depends on use: track and trackday favour the quickshifter, everyday riding and mountain roads the E-Clutch.

The Fireblade SP is the flagship of the Honda CBR family and is aimed at experienced sport riders with racetrack and trackday ambitions. 217 hp from a 1,000 cc inline-four, semi-active Öhlins NPX Smart EC 2.0 suspension, Brembo Stylema brakes, quickshifter, 6-axis IMU, five riding modes with individual adjustment, slipper clutch, wheelie control and the Honda Selectable Engine Brake system (HSEB). The winglet aerodynamics come straight from the MotoGP RC213V.

The Akrapovic slip-on in titanium is also available for the CBR600RR, and the Honda Performance silencer line for the CBR650R.
Anyone heading to a Swiss racetrack or European circuits (Anneau du Rhin, Lédenon, Mugello, Misano) on a Fireblade SP or CBR600RR needs: front and rear frame sliders, a swingarm protector, carbon tank protection, exhaust safety tape and valve cap locking. Honda Motorrad Zürich offers complete trackday packages including removal of mirrors and indicators and application of number board backgrounds.

The Fireblade SP is aimed at experienced sport riders with a racing background and trackday ambitions — it is road legal too, but its full potential can only be used on a closed circuit. The CBR600RR is the ideal all-rounder for ambitious road riders who combine twisty mountain passes with the occasional trackday. The CBR650R E-Clutch suits demanding commuters and weekend sport riders who want four-cylinder sound and sporting looks. The CBR500RA is the A2 entry-level CBR for learners.
Honda CBR models are perfect for twisty Swiss mountain passes: Klausen, Susten, Furka, Grimsel, Albula and Splügen. The compact geometry of the CBR600RR (193 kg) allows agile changes of direction, while its 121 hp provide plenty of acceleration out of tight hairpins. The Fireblade SP only shows its full potential on longer straights and at higher speeds — on narrow passes it feels uncompromisingly sporty.
Tip for Swiss roads: run the Fireblade SP in riding "Mode 4" (road) with increased HSTC sensitivity and softer throttle response. The CBR600RR benefits from road tyres such as the Bridgestone Battlax S22 or Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP.
Popular trackdays for Honda CBR riders from the Zurich region:
Honda Motorrad Zürich offers preparation and follow-up service: trackday setup, frame slider fitting, tyre changes to slicks or trackday tyres, and brake pad checks.
Real-world consumption figures from Honda rider communities:
The CBR500RA is by far the most economical CBR, ideal as an A2 entry bike and commuter machine.
The Honda CBR family enjoys an excellent reputation in Switzerland for durability and running costs. Even after 30,000 km the Fireblade SP shows virtually no signs of engine wear; the only regular service items are the valve clearance check every 24,000 km and brake pad replacement (trackday use shortens their life). The CBR600RR has been known as a robust race machine for decades — many examples reach 80,000+ km without major engine overhauls.
Typical weak points: heat build-up from the under-seat exhaust on the CBR600RR in city traffic, slightly soft standard suspension under trackday use (upgrading to Öhlins or K-Tech is recommended), and front fork settings that need adjusting for rider weights above 90 kg. If you are looking to buy a Honda CBR, you will get comprehensive advice at the Honda Dream Dealer Zurich.




The best way to build riding safety on a CBR (CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, CBR600RR, CBR650R) on wet roads, at full lean or during sudden braking manoeuvres is a riding safety training course at MX-Academy. On a closed track, with professional equipment, experienced coaches and theory before you ride.
Do you want to master your Honda CBR more confidently — especially in stressful situations, at lean angle or on Swiss mountain passes? Then book a riding safety training course at MX-Academy — fun and progress guaranteed.
MX-Academy's training recommendation for CBR riders: first practise riding techniques on the lighter motocross machine, then transfer the same techniques to your CBR as soon as you feel comfortable. The motorcycle training facility in Schlatt TG is part of NASAK (the federal inventory of significant national sports facilities) of Swiss Olympic and offers 4 different tracks — including a dedicated track for children and beginners, ideal for learning safe riding techniques.

For 2026 Honda offers five CBR models: CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP (217 hp, 1,000 cc inline-four, trackday hyperbike), CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP Carbon Edition (limited to 300 units), CBR650R E-Clutch (95 hp, 649 cc four-cylinder), CBR600RR (121 hp, 599 cc, the only remaining 600 cc inline-four) and the CBR500RA or CBR500RA E-Clutch (47 hp, A2-compliant). All models are available at Honda Motorrad Zürich AG in Volketswil.
The Fireblade SP starts at CHF 32'990 including the 6-year Honda Swiss warranty, semi-active Öhlins NPX Smart EC 2.0 suspension, Brembo Stylema brakes and a quickshifter as standard. The Carbon Edition (limited to 300 units in Europe) is around CHF 39'500. Ask Honda Motorrad Zürich for current prices and availability. Prices non-binding, subject to change at any time.
As the up-spec version, the Fireblade SP has semi-active Öhlins suspension (standard model: Showa BPF/BFRC), Brembo Stylema brake calipers (standard: Tokico), a quickshifter as standard and higher-grade wheels. The standard CBR1000RR-R was discontinued in 2024 — only the SP version is currently available as a new bike.
The Fireblade SP Carbon Edition is limited to 300 units worldwide, has full carbon-fibre bodywork, black paintwork with gold accents and an individually numbered aluminium plaque. All Fireblade SP specifications plus exclusive carbon parts (tank cover, tail section, pillion seat cowl). A collector's item and an investment.
The CBR600RR produces 121 hp from its 599 cc inline-four and weighs 193 kg ready to ride. It is the only remaining 600 cc inline-four CBR on the market — the Yamaha R6 has been discontinued and the Suzuki GSX-R600 no longer meets Euro 5+. The CBR600RR takes its 6-axis IMU straight from the RC213V-S MotoGP machine, has MotoGP aerodynamics with winglets and is absolutely up to date.
Yes, with 47 hp (35 kW) the CBR500RA is A2-compliant straight from the factory, with no restriction needed. It offers genuine CBR CBR DNA with a sporty riding position, ABS and full LED equipment. The CBR500RA E-Clutch version additionally has automatic clutch handling — ideal for learners and beginners. Price from CHF 7'890. Prices non-binding, subject to change at any time.
The Honda E-Clutch is a unique automatic clutch system: the clutch lever stays in place, but the electronics take over automatically when pulling away, shifting and stopping. The CBR650R and CBR500RA are available as E-Clutch versions. Ideal for commuters, beginners and anyone who wants jerk-free gear changes without losing comfort.
Yes, the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP comes with a quickshifter with blipper as standard — clutchless up- and downshifts under full load. The CBR600RR also has the quickshifter with blipper as standard. On the CBR650R E-Clutch and CBR500RA E-Clutch, the E-Clutch takes over the clutch function automatically.
The Fireblade SP offers 5 riding modes: Modes 1-3 are track modes with progressively more aggressive settings for HSTC (torque control), wheelie control and engine braking behaviour. Mode 4 is optimised for the road (softer throttle response, higher HSTC sensitivity) and Mode 5 is user-configurable. All modes also control the semi-active Öhlins suspension in real time.
The Fireblade SP weighs 201 kg ready to ride including a full tank (16.1 L), oil and coolant. That makes it lighter than the BMW S1000RR (202 kg) and Yamaha R1M (202 kg), but slightly heavier than the BMW M1000RR (192 kg) and Ducati Panigale V4S (198 kg). Dry weight without fluids is around 178 kg.
The Fireblade SP and CBR600RR require the unrestricted A licence. The CBR650R and CBR650R E-Clutch can be restricted to 35 kW and ridden on an A2 licence (adjustable by the Honda dealer via the electronic engine control unit). The CBR500RA and CBR500RA E-Clutch are A2-compliant from the factory (47 hp / 35 kW).
All Honda CBR models are road legal and homologated for road use. That said, the riding position on the Fireblade SP and CBR600RR in particular is aggressively sporty — longer city rides or tours over 200 km can become tiring. The CBR650R and CBR500RA have noticeably more relaxed ergonomics and are also suitable for commuting.
The most important circuits and trackday venues for Swiss Honda riders are Anneau du Rhin (Alsace), Lédenon (southern France), Mugello (Italy), Misano (Italy) and Vairano (Italy). Switzerland itself has no permanent racetracks — the nearest ones are just across the border. Preparation and setup service for trackdays is available at the Honda Motorrad Zürich workshop.
The most popular tuning option for the racetrack is the Akrapovic Race Line full system in titanium: around 4 kg weight saving, a fuller soundtrack and 5-8 hp more power in the upper rev range (not road legal, trackday only). The Akrapovic slip-on in titanium is road legal and offers a similar sound with a smaller performance gain. Both are available at Honda Motorrad Zürich including fitting and registration.
Honda offers complete factory HRC Track Packs: front and rear frame sliders, swingarm protector, drive chain guard, tank protector, Alcantara rider seat, tall tinted screen, wheel rim decals, pillion seat cowl in red or black and an aluminium oil filler cap. Popular individual parts: Honda genuine heated grips, tank bag and seat cowl.
Real-world consumption figures: 5.5-6.5 l/100 km on country roads and 7-8 l/100 km on a trackday with full-load sections. With a 16.1 L tank that gives a real range of 240-290 km. For comparison: CBR600RR 5.0-5.8 l/100 km (range 310-360 km), CBR650R 4.5-5.2 l/100 km, CBR500RA 3.5-4.0 l/100 km (range 425-490 km).
For beginners and casual riders the Fireblade SP is not ideal as a pure road machine, because of its enormous power (217 hp) and aggressive riding position. It only shows its potential on a racetrack. For road use plus the occasional trackday the CBR600RR is the more balanced choice. If you want the flagship and plan to do trackdays, the Fireblade SP is perfect for you.
For mixed road use with sporting ambitions we recommend the Bridgestone Battlax S22, Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3, Michelin Power Cup 2 or Metzeler Racetec RR K3. For pure trackday use: Pirelli Diablo Superbike (SCX/SC1) or Michelin Power Slick 2. Tyre changes and fitting at the Honda Motorrad Zürich workshop.
No, the Fireblade SP does NOT have Apple CarPlay — it is a pure racing machine without navigation or multimedia integration. The TFT display only shows riding-relevant data (revs, lean angle, HSTC level, brake pressure). The CBR650R E-Clutch has Bluetooth and the Honda RoadSync smartphone app for calls, music and basic navigation.
All current Honda CBR models have cornering ABS with lean-angle sensing: the Fireblade SP, CBR600RR and CBR650R all have the full system with a 6-axis IMU. The CBR500RA is fitted with conventional ABS (no cornering ABS) — appropriate for the A2 class.
Yes, the CBR650R E-Clutch is very beginner-friendly thanks to its automatic clutch: no stalling when pulling away, jerk-free shifting and easy stopping. Sporting looks with four-cylinder sound, but everyday-friendly ergonomics. Restrictable to 35 kW for the A2 licence. Buy or lease the Honda CBR 650 R (CBR650R) E-Clutch — Honda Motorrad Zürich. Ideal for riders moving up from 125 cc or returning to biking.
The Fireblade SP is only worth it for experienced sport riders with racetrack ambitions — it offers around 100 hp more, semi-active Öhlins suspension and MotoGP aerodynamics. For road use and occasional trackdays the CBR600RR is by far the more practical and more affordable choice. Price difference: around CHF 18,000 — the equivalent of a full trackday season or several sets of tyres. Prices non-binding, subject to change at any time.
The CBR600RR 2026 is available in two colour schemes: Tricolour paintwork (red/blue/white as a tribute to Honda's motorsport tradition) and Grand Prix Red (Honda works red). Both colours are available right now at Honda Motorrad Zürich. A wheel rim decal set is optional.
For the Fireblade SP we recommend R&G frame sliders, crash bobbins, Womet-Tech sliders or the Honda genuine frame sliders. In addition: swingarm protector (for possible crashes while cornering) and drive chain guard. Complete crash protection packages are available at Honda Motorrad Zürich including fitting. Absolutely recommended for trackday use.
Honda Motorrad Zürich includes a 6-year Honda Swiss warranty on all CBR models (compared with 2-4 years from the competition). The warranty covers the engine, gearbox, electronics and suspension. The condition is servicing according to the Honda schedule at an authorised Honda partner. Trackday use is also covered, provided no modifications have been made.
Yes, the CBR650R E-Clutch is ideal for city traffic and commuting: automatic clutch when pulling away and stopping, jerk-free shifting, and a sporty but everyday-friendly riding position. Four-cylinder character with a full sound. Running costs are moderate and real-world consumption is around 4.5-5.2 l/100 km. Restrictable to 35 kW for A2 riders.
Yes, Honda Motorrad Zürich regularly stocks used CBR models with the Honda Swiss warranty — usually demonstrator bikes, demo machines or factory buy-backs. Current selection: used bike stock at Honda Motorrad Zürich. Buy a used Honda CBR with the option of a test ride. All used bikes come with a detailed service history and can be test ridden.
For trackday use we recommend Brembo Z04 (racing sintered metal), SBS Dual Sinter Race or the Honda genuine endurance pads. Standard road pads last less than one full trackday under full load. Replacement and brake service at the Honda Motorrad Zürich workshop — including bleeding the brake system and changing the brake fluid to DOT 5.1 (racing level).
The Fireblade SP has a seat height of 831 mm — typical for a CBR. The CBR600RR is 820 mm, the CBR650R 810 mm and the CBR500RA 785 mm (very beginner-friendly). For shorter riders, lowered seats or shock adjustments are possible, although only to a limited extent on the Fireblade SP because of its MotoGP-oriented geometry.
Yes, the Fireblade SP is one of the most value-stable CBR machines on the market. After 3 years the typical depreciation is around 25-30%, after which the value stabilises. Limited Carbon Edition models often even gain in value. The conditions: a complete Honda service history, no trackday damage and original specification.
As a first motorcycle the CBR500RA E-Clutch is ideal: A2-compliant, automatic clutch, ABS, light (192 kg), low seat height (785 mm) and the 6-year Honda Swiss warranty. If you want more power and hold an A licence, the CBR650R E-Clutch is the next step up. Both models have genuine CBR DNA and sporting looks while staying suitable for everyday use.
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) is Honda's name for traction control. It reduces engine power via ignition timing and fuel injection when the 6-axis IMU detects the rear wheel spinning. 9 levels can be selected — from level 9 (maximum intervention, ideal for wet conditions and beginners) to level 1 (minimum intervention, for trackdays) and off. The Fireblade SP additionally has 3-level wheelie control.
Honda Motorrad Zürich AG stocks all current Honda genuine spare parts for CBR models: bodywork parts, brake pads, alternator, lambda sensor and spark plugs. They can be ordered online via the Honda workshop ordering service or directly at the sales desk. Genuine spare parts come with a 2-year warranty.
Yes, Honda Motorrad Zürich offers Honda leasing for all CBR models including the Fireblade SP. Typical terms: 36-60 month duration, down payment from 10%, mileage packages from 5,000 km per year. Service packages can optionally be included (maintenance, tyres, insurance). Current leasing offers: motorcycle financing & leasing.
The CBR600RR has barely any competitors left in the classic 600 cc CBR segment: the Kawasaki ZX-6R (636 cc, 130 hp), Aprilia RS660 (twin, 100 hp) and MV Agusta F3 800 (three-cylinder, 147 hp). The Yamaha R6 has been discontinued and the Suzuki GSX-R600 no longer meets Euro 5+. The CBR600RR is the only remaining pure 600 cc inline-four CBR.
No, Honda does not offer a pure track-only version of the Fireblade in Switzerland. The Fireblade SP is road legal and, with an Akrapovic full system, ready for trackdays. For pure racetrack use there are the HRC modifications (endurance kit) — sold only through authorised HRC dealers. Honda Motorrad Zürich can offer a track setup service including frame sliders, slick tyres and a brake upgrade.
Servicing costs for the Fireblade SP: annual service costs of around CHF 350-500 for inspection, oil change and filter change. The major inspection every 24,000 km including the valve clearance check is around CHF 1,200-1,500. Tyre change (road): around CHF 600 rear plus CHF 450 front (fitted). Brake pads: CHF 180-280. Budget for higher wear costs with trackday use. Prices non-binding, subject to change at any time.
Best value for money: the Honda CBR 650 R (CBR650R) E-Clutch at CHF 11'490 — four-cylinder sound, 95 hp, E-Clutch technology, a modern TFT display and the 6-year Honda Swiss warranty. For pure sport riders: the CBR600RR at CHF 14'490 with MotoGP IMU and quickshifter as standard. For beginners: the CBR500RA at CHF 7'890 — A2-compliant and very well balanced. Prices non-binding, subject to change at any time.
Yes, Honda Motorrad Zürich accepts trade-ins of all makes when you buy a new Honda CBR: BMW S1000RR, Yamaha R1/R6, Kawasaki ZX-6R/10R, Ducati Panigale, Suzuki GSX-R, Aprilia RSV4 — all makes welcome. Fair valuation at market value, with the trade-in credit applied directly to the purchase price. More information: sell your motorcycle & trade-in of all makes.
The most characterful of all is the CBR600RR with its classic 600 cc inline-four sound at high revs (above 10,000 rpm). The Fireblade SP has a deeper, more massive tone. The CBR650R with its 4-into-1 exhaust sounds almost like a small Fireblade. The CBR500RA has the typical parallel-twin sound. With an Akrapovic system all models gain a noticeably fuller note.
A supersport bike is a motorcycle built for maximum performance, track capability and aerodynamic efficiency: full fairing, a stretched riding position, high revs and a chassis made for corner speed. Honda covers the segment with five models – from the Honda CBR 500 R as the A2 entry to the Honda Fireblade CBR1000RR as a trackday hyperbike.
The Honda CBR 500 R (CBR500RA) is the A2 CBR in the Honda range: 471 cc twin, 35 kW, A2 compliant without restriction, a moderate seat height and optionally the Honda E-Clutch. It offers CBR looks and ergonomics in a power class you can master from day one.
The price of the Honda CBR 650 R depends on version and equipment – in particular on whether the Honda E-Clutch is fitted. Current prices, availability and demonstration machines are available directly from us in Volketswil on +41 44 908 20 00.
The Honda CBR 600 RR delivers around 121 hp from 599 cc and revs beyond 14,000 rpm. It is the only remaining 600 with an inline four-cylinder engine in the range and therefore the classic middleweight race machine for mountain roads and trackdays.
Racetracks for motorcycles in Switzerland are a short list – trackdays usually take place just across the border, for example at Anneau du Rhin, Hockenheim, Most or Mugello. For a safe start we recommend riding technique training beforehand; we are happy to arrange courses and dates.
They solve different tasks. The quickshifter allows clutchless shifting while riding and is fitted to the Honda Fireblade CBR1000RR and the Honda CBR 600 RR. The Honda E-Clutch additionally covers pulling away and stopping and is available for the Honda CBR 650 R and the Honda CBR 500 R. Track use favours the quickshifter, everyday riding and mountain roads the E-Clutch.
