HONDA CBR900RR Fireblade (1999-2000) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CBR900RR, also known as the Fireblade in some countries, was a sports bike part of the CBR series that had its debut in 1992 as the first model in Honda's large-displacement series of motorcycles that featured the RR suffix.

In 2000, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CBR900RR, also known as the CBR929RR in the North American market, which packed a completely new 929cc engine with lighter internal parts.

In addition, the engine was fitted with a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system and larger valves set to a narrower angle. The gases escaped from the engine through a new titanium exhaust system with HTEV incorporated.

Also, the swingarm was mounted directly to the engine, larger 330 mm discs were mounted on the front wheel, the 16-inch front wheel was replaced by a 17-inch unit, and the front fork featured an upside-down construction.
