In the early 1990s,
Honda turned the motorcycling world on its head when it released the CBR900RR
Fireblade. The ‘Blade’s designer, Tadao Baba, primarily focused on keeping
weight down above all else — a must considering his brief was to deliver a
modern superbike with open-class power, weighing no more than your average 600
of the day. The “Fireblade” name is actually the result of a mistranslation of
the word “lightning”, and it didn’t fit squarely into any of the existing major
classes. Rather, Honda’s goal was to create the best possible road-going
superbike, and the eventual result was the 900RR.
At the heart of the
original Fireblade — which didn’t come to US shores until ’93 — was a 893cc
in-line four which was essentially a stroked three-quarter liter mill with a
70mm bore. Though it wasn’t the most powerful engine of its day, the RR’s 124
hp, 65 ft-lbs of torque, and 160 mph top speed were nothing to scoff at,
especially with its svelte weight. A number of measures were taken by Baba and
his team to ensure the Fireblade would hit its target weight. This included
using a highly-developed lightweight frame, 16” front wheel, conventional forks
instead of heavier inverted units (though the 900RR’s front-end was designed to
look like an upside down fork) and even the Swiss cheesed-nose.
In the end, Baba-san
came through, delivering a 900 that tipped the scales at around 450lbs wet. It
was less than 10 lbs heavier than the CBR600, and a whopping 100lbs lighter
than most of the open-class competition of the day. In ’94, the groundbreaking
model had its steel upper cowl stay replaced with an aluminum piece, while a
magnesium cylinder head cover took the place of the outgoing model’s aluminum
unit. 1994 also saw a slight bump in engine efficiency, amongst other changes.
