A longish stroke and lots of torque...
I was very pleasantly surprised with the ergonomics of the CBR1000RR. Frankly, I was expecting a rather extreme, uncomfortable race tuck-style layout. Although plenty aggressive, the "rider triangle" (bar/seat/peg relationship) was nailed by Honda, once again. This [motorcycle] is remarkably comfortable. The footpegs did not feel too high (granted, I have only a 31" inseam) compared to the competition, and the reach to the bars felt comfortable and natural. Honda accomplished this without compromising ground clearance (see our track test). It certainly is no sport tourer, but the 1000RR manages to be aggressive and comfortable at the same time. Good job.
