The Japanese manufacturer has made slow progress since its full works return to WSBK in 2020 with its current CBR1000RR-R challenger, which has only undergone minor upgrades in the interim.
Honda did homologate a refreshed version of its bike for the current season with revised cylinders, crankshaft, air filters, airbox, throttle body and brake calipers, with series regulations heavily restricting development outside such updates.
