In 2001, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CBR900RR, which from the year 2000 entered its fifth generation and was also known as the CBR929RR in North America. The 2001 model benefitted from the upgrades brought upon last year’s motorcycle and packed an all-new engine.
The bike was powered by a new 929cc engine, more oversquare and with lighter internal parts but was also fitted with a new fuel injection system and larger valves set at a narrower angle.
Other improvements included an all-new titanium exhaust system equipped with HTEV, the swingarm was mounted directly to the back of the engine, larger 330 mm front discs, larger-diameter wheels from 16-inches o 17-inches, and the front suspension featuring an upside-down fork.
The 2001 Honda CBR900RR Fireblade had its muscles from the new 929cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fitted with a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system with an automatic choke that helped deliver an output power of 152 hp at 10,750 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) of torque at 9,000 rpm.
With a dry weight of 172 kg (379 lbs) and set in motion by a six-speed manual transmission, the 2001 CBR900RR reached a top speed of 283 kph (176 mph).
The bike came in three different colors, such as Andes Blue Metallic with Red and White, Black with gunpowder Matte Black, and Lapis Bue Metallic with Yellow and White.
