The 1992 debut of the history-making CBR900RR Fireblade completely rewrote the book of Super Sport motorcycle design with a remarkably compact and lightweight configuration based on a ‘Less Is More’ concept that achieved a breathtaking blast of litre-class performance from a 900cc inline-4 engine shoehorned into a highly advanced 600cc-class chassis.
The Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is a MotoGP race replica with many of its features taken from Honda's top-end racing bikes. The result is a high-performance track and racing superbike that also makes for a perfect street bike. The 2008 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade borrows many technologies found in the Honda CBR600RR, but has added advancements, such as a reworked chassis and exhaust system, reworked front and rear suspension and a lighter swingarm.
The CBR1000RR's strong but light die-cast aluminium chassis has an inverted fork, Unit Pro-Link rear suspension and radial-mounted front brakes. The chassis is a reinforced version of the CBF600's frame, but a longer swingarm gives better traction when accelerating. Honda's advanced Unit Pro-Link rear suspension completes the impressive list of features and adds to the bike’s impeccable handling. CBR1000RR's fuel-injected 998cc engine is modelled on the Honda Fireblade superbike but has been adapted for road use. The engine is powered by Honda’s advanced Dual Stage Fuel Injection (DSFI) system for superb power and response at all speeds.
Sharper looks, stronger performance and astoundingly responsive control. From its compact new proportions to its breathtaking response to every rider input, everything about the new 2008 CBR1000RR Fireblade stakes out a new standard in motorcycle performance and design aesthetics that will stand as a milestone in the history of litre-class Super Sports development, much as the original CBR900RR did when it fired the first shot in the high-performance revolution sixteen years ago.
