2019 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade- What else can you buy?

We list down the motorcycles you can opt for in the range of the 2019 ‘Blade’s Rs 16.43 lakhs price tag. 

Let’s commence with one of Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade’s rivals, the Kawasaki ZX-10RR that retails at Rs 16.98 lakhs. The ZX-10RR is a top-spec version and is loaded with race-spec technical goodies. It is powered by a 998cc, inline-for engine that produces 197.2bhp and 113.5Nm of torque.

The Italians also have a slice of this pizza with the MV Agusta F3 800. Considered one of the most beautiful bikes today, the F3 800 retails at Rs 16.31 lakhs. Powering the motorcycle is a 798cc, inline-three motor that produces 145.9bhp and 88Nm of torque. 

If you want a svelte streetfighter, you have the BMW S 1000 R with a price tag of Rs 16.30 lakhs. Based on the supersport S 1000 RR, it uses a 999cc, inline-four engine that puts out 158bhp and 112Nm of torque. In and around the BMW showroom you will also find the BMW R Nine T Racer. Sporting a café racer design language, the bike will set you back by Rs 16.5 lakhs.

The R Nine T Racer is powered by a 1170cc, boxer-twin motor that is capable of producing 107bhp and 116Nm of torque. In a similar modern-retro flavour is the Moto Guzzi Grisso 1200 8V SE. The Grisso shows-off its uniquely designed trellis frame with a 1151cc, V-twin engine that produces 110bhp of power and 108 Nm of torque. It costs Rs 16.04 lakhs. 

And finally, there are two power cruisers that feature in our list; the Ducati Diavel and XDiavel. The Diavel is powered by a 1198cc, L-twin engine that produces 159bhp and 130Nm of torque. It costs Rs 16.10 lakhs. The XDiavel however, offers a comparatively more laid-back riding position and sports sharper styling.
