Honda CBR929RR

I know its not a 929, but can't seem to get a CBR900 catergory set up. The Blade as it is commonly known by its vast amount of admirers, has to rank as the most awesome bike I’ve ever owned. I acquired mine in the summer (ha ha summer in the UK, whats one of them?) of 2002, it is one of the earlier models, which was manufactured in 1993, it has the twin headlights and not the foxeye lights of the following 1994 models and onwards. Well the ...
...(Priced at £7000+ when new, although I only paid £1800 for mine secondhand, well third hand if you really want to know), to a chorus of disbelief, as here was a bike with the outrageous power of a litre class sports bike (126bhp) and a speed of 165mph plus but it weighed only 185kg, this was the same weight as the 600cc sports bikes of the day. Well, back to my bike, it has just over 40,000 miles on the clock. I have done 7,000 of these in all kinds ...

Review of Honda CBR929RR

The fireblade back in the early 90's was a light ,peaky,mentally fastmonster of a bikethat rocked all the big bikes at the time.It took years for the likes of yamaha to respond to the challenge,but respond they did in the shape of the R1,but the fireblade 900rr in the year 2000 is on the attack again,although this still can not quite top the R1 for speed,overall is a far better bike ,as even Yamaha have admitted the R1 is hard work to stop it flipping ...

Review of Honda CBR929RR

I was first introduced to the Blade eighteen months ago, when a friend of mine emigrated and gave me first refusal. I had outgrown my Kawasaki GPZ 500 and was thinking of going up a few gears so to speak. I had a 10 minute test ride and was hooked. The handling and balance was so sweet and a slight twist of the wrist accelerated me forward like nothing I had ridden before. The deal was done and suddenly sitting in my garage was a showpiece waiting ...
...trepidation as I got used to the slightly forced racing position and rapid take off. Before too long man and machine where one and I noticed motorists and pedestrians alike turning their heads. I began to make excuses for excursions and would often look for the longest route home allowing me to swoop through the twisty B roads. A year and a half later I'm still yip-haaaing in my helmet and feel no need for a change. If you're thinking of buying one ...

Review of Honda CBR929RR

...do you hear that a Honda has a major fault? Not very, well its the same with all Japanese manufacturers actually, but Honda does have the best. However the SP-1 hasn't helped them much lately. The fireblade, did rule for 8 years, now their recent product, may not be the fastest against the R1's but it is still probably one of the best tools on the market for superbikes. Against the R1 on the road, it is down to the rider. The power difference no ...
...every two weeks. One year later when I sold it, apart from the odd bit where I hadn't washed properly, it was perfect. Honda also has the best finish in its class usually, I think Ducati now use the same manufacturers for the switch gear. Buy with confidence. ...
