ZAQHWAN TO GIVE THE HONDA CBR1000RRR SP IT’S RACE DEBUT THIS WEEKEND

Thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, Malaysian superbike rider Mohd Zaqhwan Zaidi has spent almost two years hankering to get astride the brand new Honda CBR1000RRR SP. Initially slated to be Zaqhwan’s battle machine in the 2020 FIM Asia Road Racing Championship, the bike had been languishing in storage when the pandemic forced the cancellation of seasons 2020 and 2021 of the Asian series.

This weekend, Zaqhwan will finally get the chance to put the Honda CBR1000RRR SP through its paces at the season finale of the 2021 Malaysia Superbike Championship.

“Finally! I’ve been longing to race with the bike for almost two years,” said Zaqhwan. “I can’t wait for Friday’s free practice sessions to come around. I have a funny feeling I will be smiling the whole day beneath my helmet.”

Honda CBR fans who want to catch a glimpse of this latest litre-bike in action can join in the fun at the Sepang International Circuit. Spectator access to the grandstand is free for all adults 18 years and above who have completed their vaccination. The season finale will also air live on Astro Arena.
