The Honda CBR 1000RR and Yamaha R1 have earned a reputation for being highly competent production machines in their stock form, however an ample amount of factory and aftermarket performance-parts have the ability to take these race-inspired road-goers to professional racing caliber. Taking things one step further is the fact that professional level Superbikes like this receive the benefit of development with top-notch teams piecing together which components work best together to deliver the best possible machine. The British SuperBike (or BSB) series is by far one of the most popular and best funded national production-based racing leagues. Though the National Dutch SBK series may not share the same level of notoriety as the BSB series, you can safely assume that any professional level of European racing will mean world-class production-based machinery.
Ten Kate Racing Products (TKRP) has developed a wide array of race components and has built and raced in a number of different series over the years and this 200hp+ CBR 1KRR is pretty damn ridiculous. Ridden by Bryan Schouten in the 2017 season, this 2017 CBR 1000RR SP boasts a long list of aftermarket goodies including a myriad of TKRP parts such as Motomaster TKRP spec brakes, TKRP/Febur oil cooler kit, TKRP full-titanium racing silencer, and an SP engine tuned to TKRP OW cup specs using an HRC power up kit and TKRP porting. The electronics package on this Honda is based on the stock electronics with TKRP Fi/Ign mapping, traction-control, and engine-braking settings. The electronic suspension from the SP has been replaced by K-tech full competition DDS pro closed-cartridge front-fork and competition rear-shock. A TKRP/Motomaster full floating brake disk with steel brake lines offers ample braking power to compensate for more than 200 ponies.
The bike also comes with an AIM EVO4 S data-logger, Honda Slipper clutch, and Honda (up/down) quick-shifter. All together this 1000RR weighs in at just 372.5lbs. The engine and chassis will also undergo full servicing before delivery and a collection of special tools needed to make adjustments to specialty parts are also included with the sale. Randy van de Wal of Kickstart Magazine got the chance to test this professional grade Honda Superbike and said it was an ”Exceptionally fast and well-balanced package! I’m thinking, but actually can’t find even one thing that I would like to change or improve on this bike. Its just perfect!”
The British SuperBike series is responsible for some of the world’s finest production based racers outside of the FIM’s WSBK series. This 2016 Yamaha R1 was previously piloted by former factory MotoGP rider John Hopkins during the 2016 season for the ePayMe Yamaha squad. Since its use in professional competition, this R1 has seen its Motec M1 ECU upgraded to World Superbike specification to enable full rider aids, auto blipping and auto tuning. The ultra-trick and modern ability for sector-by-sector mapping and rider aids, and the addition of an E-Lean six-axis lean angle-sensor give the rider aids superior accuracy. Finally, a 39N 5 button pod was added to control the bike’s traction-control and engine-braking and whatnot.
There are more than fifty Yamaha factory components and top-shelf bolt-on aftermarket performance parts found on this ex-BSB R1. Pretty much any component that can be changed or upgraded has been with some of the finest hardware in existence. All the usual suspects such as Ohlins, Brembo, and a host of other companies have parts featured on this racing build, but to even remotely begin to do this machine its full justice, you really have to check out the complete parts list in the ad. It’s the epitome of professional grade.
In addition to the actual motorcycle itself, the sale of this Yamaha includes a fresh engine, a wide array of spares, and also includes data from both Milwaukee Yamaha and Tommy Hill Motorsports. In the words of Unlimited Superbikes, “This is the closest thing to a current-spec World Superbike a mortal can expect to own. This bike can win races at any level and is covered in factory race parts that are pure unobtanium.” Despite it sounding hyperbolic, it’s actually an admittedly apt description of this prestigious machine. According to the ad the: “Motorcycle is 100% fresh and needs absolutely nothing.”
