Honda CBR900RR FireBlade (Haynes Great Bikes) [Hardcover]

Rob Simmonds (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 15, 2000

The appearance of Honda's CBR900 in 1992 rendered the then-current crop of superbikes obsolete, thanks to its potent and unbeatable mix of light weight and raw power. This unique volume takes you full circle, from previously unpublished preliminary design sketches, to an in-depth technical look at what makes the 'Blade' so special, to what a stunned press thought of its awesome mix of handling and power, up through the Fireblade's racing successes. Contains in-depth interviews with the men who made the 'Blade' happen, what to look for when buying a used machine, and how to tune it for increased performance.

This review is from: Honda CBR900RR FireBlade (Haynes Great Bikes) (Hardcover)

Its true this book pales compared to the one devoted to the GSX-R. I have that one too, and it contains lots more content and inside information ..which is to be expected as it was a factory backed undertaking. This Fireblade book comes off as a very decent encapsulation, though quite 'old' when you consider all that has Honda-happened since the 929 and the 954. Five stars if you own one of the older bikes. Owners of the true 1000cc bikes should probably pass. Nothing for you here.
