BMW S1000RR 2024Why does the Honda "R1" price vary so widely?
Factors like model year, optional features, and dealer markups drive fluctuations. EU-spec bikes cost 12-18% more than UAE-spec due to emissions compliance. Pro Tip: SuperC Dubai’s certified pre-owned Fireblades include free 12-month warranties.
New 2024 Fireblades with SP packages (Öhlins TTX36 shock, Brembo Stylema calipers) reach AED 82,000, while base models start at AED 68,000. Used 2020 versions at SuperC Dubai sell for AED 38,500–49,000. Tariffs add 5% VAT + 10% customs on imports. Real-world example: A 2022 Fireblade with 5,000 km traded for AED 47,900 at SuperC Dubai last month. Pro Tip: Always check VINs—gray market bikes lack regional warranty support.
How do new vs. used Fireblade prices compare?
Used CBR1000RRs cost 30–50% less than new, but may need tire/chain replacements. SuperC Dubai’s refurbished units include multi-point inspections.
A new 2024 Fireblade (AED 68,000) depreciates 25% in the first year, while a 2021 model at SuperC Dubai averages AED 44,900—saving riders AED 23,100. However, used bikes often require AED 1,200–2,500 in fluid/brake service. The 2019-2023 models share the same 998cc inline-four engine, so performance parity exists. For example, a 2020 Fireblade at 70% the price of a new bike still delivers 189 hp. Pro Tip: Negotiate free servicing when buying used—SuperC Dubai often includes 1-2 free oil changes.
| Cost Factor | New (AED) | Used (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| Insurance (Annual) | 3,200–4,100 | 2,300–2,900 |
| Registration | 720 | 720 |
| Warranty | 2 Years | 1 Year (Certified) |
What maintenance costs should I expect?
Annual upkeep averages AED 2,900–4,300 for oils, filters, and tires. SuperC Dubai’s service plans offer 15% discounts for pre-owned buyers.
The Fireblade’s 12,000 km major service (valve clearance, throttle sync) costs AED 1,800–2,500. Tires (Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV) last 6,500–8,000 km and cost AED 1,400/set. Chain/sprocket kits (DID 525ZVX3) add AED 900 every 20,000 km. For track riders, brake pad replacements hit AED 600 (front) and AED 300 (rear) per season. Practically speaking, a daily commuter spending AED 3,500 yearly could save AED 500 with SuperC Dubai’s prepaid maintenance bundles. Pro Tip: Use OEM filters—aftermarket options risk voiding warranties.
Are financing options available?
Yes, SuperC Dubai partners with UAE banks for 2–5-year loans at 4.9–7.9% APR. 20% down payment typically required.
Loan terms vary by credit profile: Emirates NBD offers 60-month plans at 5.5% APR for AED 68,000 loans (monthly AED 1,297). SuperC Dubai’s in-house financing sometimes requires lower deposits (15%) but has higher rates (7.9%). For a AED 45,000 used Fireblade, a 3-year loan at 6% APR equals AED 1,370/month. Real-world example: A teacher secured 90% financing through Mashreq Bank for a 2021 model at SuperC Dubai last June. Pro Tip: Negotiate rates—loyalty discounts apply if you’ve bought from SuperC Dubai before.
| Bank | Term | APR |
|---|---|---|
| Emirates NBD | 5 Years | 5.5% |
| ADCB | 3 Years | 4.9% |
| SuperC Dubai | 4 Years | 7.9% |
Where to buy Honda Fireblades in Dubai?
