What Is It?

The Honda CBR900RR Fireblade is a dedicated sports bike and is powered by a liquid cooled 918.5 cc inline four engine, producing 130 bhp at 10,500 rpm and maximum torque at 9,000 rpm.

Features include:

• Aluminium frame and swingarm
• Dual 310 mm discs up front with Nissin four piston calipers
• 220 mm disc at the rear with Nissin single piston caliper
• Adjustable 45 mm Showa fork with 120 mm travel
• Adjustable pro-link shock with 125 mm travel
• Four 38 mm carbs
• 4->2->1 exhaust system
• 6 speed gearbox

Compared to the 1996-1997 model there's a focus on re-designing the engine internal to be lighter and minimise friction, a new lighter action clutch, a new upper fairing, lighter exhaust design, new headlight cluster, new swingarm and larger 310 mm front discs.

The 5-spoke 16" front wheel takes a Bridgestone BT56 130/70 tyre and the rear 17" a 180/55.

• 1998: Orange/black, red/white/blue, grey/black, yellow
• 1999: Red/white/blue, blue/black/red, blue/gold

50th Anniversary: Celebrating 50 years of Honda motorbike production.

Evolution Fireblade: Built to celebrate the 100th win at the Isle of Man TT race, although this was more of a publicity stunt and retailed at a jaw dropping £22,325!

FireBlade, as a model name, originally came about as a mistranslation of "lightning" into Japanese.
