The Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP has been getting a lot of buzz ever since its release.

The Fireblade is the culmination of years of success in the MotoGP races sharing the same characteristics as Marc Marquez’s RC213V race bike. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has been hampering manufacturers including Honda from participating in motorcycle shows where they would usually display their latest motorcycles giving their customers first-hand experience with it. Lucky for us, Honda has been utilizing the digital space to show off its latest offerings. Now, the Japanese brand is treating us with a 360-degree POV video of Marc Marquez taking the new Fireblade around the track.
