    According to Honda, the team was third fastest in the qualifying stages. After some initial battles, Takahashi gained a lead on lap 11 of the race proper. As the competition went on, Zarco and Nagoe’s consistent riding also created a wider gap.

    “I am relieved to have won the Suzuka 8 Hours for the sixth time, and achieve Honda’s 30th win. Thanks to my teammates, the staff, and all the fans who cheered me on. Without them, I could not have made it. I would like this to be the beginning of a good offer from HRC to win even more. If I’m given the opportunity, I would like to try to win the Suzuki 8 Hours again,” Takahashi said. 

    Notably, the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is classed as a street-legal superbike, representing the pinnacle of the Japanese marque’s motorcycle engineering.

    For the Philippine-spec version, its 1,000-cc four-cylinder engine can produce up to 189 horsepower and 116 Netwon meters of torque. The Honda bike's gear shifts are handled by a wet-type multi-plate clutch manipulated by a six-speed manual transmission.
