CBR 900 RR Fireblade

2000 Honda CBR 900 RR Fireblade Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Honda's sport motorcycle platform, the 2000 Honda CBR 900 RR Fireblade relies on a 929 cc (56.7 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 152 HP (110.9 kW) at 11,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 163.6 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (9,000 rpm) and peak power (11,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the CBR 900 RR Fireblade measures 170 kg (375 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.89 HP/kg (1.12 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 280 km/h (174 mph).
