Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade secure outdoor motorcycle storage

Introduction

The Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is a high-performance sports motorcycle designed for precision riding and frequent use. When garage space isn’t available and outdoor space must remain accessible, storage needs to provide security without blocking walkways or restricting access to other areas of the property.

This installation shows how an ArmadilloBoxes steel motorcycle storage unit with a wide front door and rear access door creates a walk-through layout, allowing secure storage of a Fireblade while maintaining access to the rear garden.

Customer requirement

The owner required outdoor motorcycle storage that:

• securely accommodates a Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade

• includes a wide door for easy loading

• incorporates rear door access to allow walk-through use

• maximises space without restricting access to the rear garden

The real-world challenge

Sports bikes like the Fireblade are relatively compact, but outdoor storage is often installed in narrow side paths or boundary areas that also serve as access routes to gardens or rear spaces. Blocking these routes with a conventional shed can make everyday movement around the property inconvenient.

A suitable storage solution needs to provide security while allowing continued pedestrian access through the same space.

The solution

An ArmadilloBoxes secure motorcycle storage unit fitted with a wide front door and a rear access door was installed to create a walk-through design. This allows the Fireblade to be stored securely while still enabling uninterrupted access through to the rear garden.

The rigid steel construction provides a strong base layer of security, while the dual-door configuration ensures the unit works with the available space rather than restricting it.

For owners considering similar layouts, the ArmadilloBoxes size guide helps explain door and access options for space-restricted installations.

A steel unit also provides a stronger security foundation than timber sheds, which is why many riders review motorcycle security options alongside their storage choice.

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade storage FAQs

Will a Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade fit in an ArmadilloBoxes unit with rear access?
Yes. A suitably sized ArmadilloBoxes unit comfortably accommodates a Fireblade while allowing rear door access.

Why choose rear access doors?
Rear access doors allow the unit to function as a walk-through, maintaining access to gardens or rear spaces without compromising security.

Is a steel motorcycle shed more secure than a wooden shed?
Steel storage units provide a much stronger base level of security than timber sheds, which can be forced quickly.

Do I need a concrete base?
No. An ArmadilloBox does not require a concrete base. The unit is structurally sound and can be installed directly onto grass or gravel without damaging the sub-base. Its own weight keeps it stable even before the motorcycle is stored inside.
The units are very rigid and can be packed during installation to bring the doors square, allowing accurate alignment on uneven ground. However, like any structure, they should not be installed where water is allowed to pool, and the ground should be free-draining.
