HONDA CBR900RR Fireblade (1994-1995) Specs, Performance & Photos

The first generation of the Honda CBR900RR, also known as the Fireblade in some countries, was a 900cc sports bike part of the CBR series and the first large-displacement model manufactured by Honda that featured the "RR" suffix.

In 1995, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda CBR900RR, a sports motorcycle that brought some visual and technical changes. It also benefitted from the 1994 update with a new shift drum that improved notchy gear shifts.

The bike featured changes in damping and spring rates, while the front fork was updated with a compression adjuster. Also, the upper cowl stay was changed from steel to aluminum, and the cylinder head was changed from aluminum to magnesium.

In the bodywork department, the bike's style was more aggressive, with the independent dual headlight assembly replaced by irregular-shaped multi-reflector lights, known as fox eyes, which were set further back and covered for more aerodynamic efficiency.

The footpegs were firmer and slimmer like the ones used on the RC45 model, and the speed was measured from the countershaft sprocket with an electronic speedometer instead of the front wheel as its predecessor.

In the performance department, the 1995 Honda CBR900RR Fireblade took its muscles from an 893cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by four Keihin carburetors that helped deliver an output power of 122 hp with a peak at 10,500 rpm and 88 Nm (65 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,000 rpm.
