No modifications have been made on these bikes and they are still equipped with the original Bridgestone Battlax BT014 tyres with date codes of 0905 and 1005. Each bike will be sold with one key.

The Honda CBR1000RR sports bike was initially offered in 2004, replacing the CBR954RR. The special-edition Repsol version came the following year, celebrating the first decade of the Honda-Repsol partnership. It imitated the livery of the RC211V race bike.

The 20044 CBR1000RR model was the first full liter-sized model in the CBR double-R range. Though it was powered by an inline-four and not a V5 engine, many parts of bike were based on Honda’s RC211V MotoGP racer - the bike Valentino Rossi used to secure back-to-back world titles.
