In its first product announcement of the new calendar year, Honda Canada confirmed the return of seven motorcycle models across the sport, standard and adventure categories.
With a deserved reputation for delivering adrenaline-inducing fun, the iconic CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, CBR650R and CBR500R sport bikes are back, as are the CB1000R, CB650R and CB500F naked bikes. For those riders who enjoy venturing beyond the pavement’s end, the remarkably capable CB500X adventure bike is also returning for 2023 model year.
CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP
Since its original 1992 introduction, Honda’s iconic Fireblade has evolved into an incredible 1000cc sports motorcycle. Leaning heavily on the engine and chassis technology of the RC213V-S ‘street-legal MotoGP machine’, with aerodynamics drawn from the RC213V MotoGP bike, the Fireblade is designed from the ground up – in terms of engine, handling and aerodynamics – for pure, outright track performance.

CB1000R ABS
Known as much for its eye-catching design as its versatility, the CB1000R touts both flair and function.
