Honda CBR900RR Fireblade | The Origin of the Species

- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2020
- The first Honda Fireblade was an evolutionary leap forward for sports bikes. It was lighter, faster and handled better than many motorcycles that came before. Shot at Charles Darwin's house in Kent, this is the story of where it all started for this future classic superbike. Shot with Marc Earl at Earl Classics: www.earlclassi...

I bought my 1995 urban tiger in 2008... cost me 1500 quid... bargain of the century. Still have it today. Love it.
Wow, smoking deal --
I paid 1,223.93 Pound sterling for my 95' GSXR 750 with 10K on the odometer --
Ive always had Kawasaki 750s ( an 87', 90',94', and a 05' ZX10R) but I always loved that late model red, white and blue 900rr
I bought my 1996 black and silver Blade last fall for 1400€ had faulty stator but other than that its about mint. Have done arond 4000km this summer.
@@MJPiloteyes mine needed a regulator, I think the previous owner sold it as battery kept going flat...he didn't say this but the week after o bought it the battery went flat...... easy fix though.... and a bargain for me.
Back in 1995, my first ever road bike, at the tender age of 24, was a 1994 Fireblade in the 'Urban Tiger' colour scheme. Bought it the same week I passed my test! Great bike. Easy to ride, fast and exciting. What more could you want at that age?
Surviving this bike, for an instance 😅
@@MrJunffor instance*
The design, paint, body covers and everything really stood the test of time. It still looks fresh with the amazing semi-futuristic vintage look!
best bike i ever had with those round headlights and big tank loved it they were something special
Not only did they look the part, they went the part too. No question they were something special :-)
why had? why sell if it was the best?
My second new bike. Traded my ZX-7 and $ for one. Loved that bike
I feel ya brother.
My father had a black one when i was younger. Im 20 now. He installed bigger jets than the stock jets and he had a custom exhaust put on the bike. Man that thing used to fly especially around corners. He enjoyed riding along the mountain with all the cuts and bends. He had a buddy with a busa. On the straight the busa would be ahead of him, but as soon as it came to the corners the firblade would anialate. He had to sell it due to financial circumstances after he got divorced with my mother. He still has his old gsxr biker jacket. The blue, white, black and red. Its the original one. He had many people pull him over and offered him loads of money for the jacket but he refused all of them. It has alot of dust on it now tho. I told him to keep the jacket for me until i get a bike.
That's beautifully said. I wish you and your father well. And especially you on your journey to 2 wheels.
I have a 07 CBR 600RR. 1st time seeing one of these today in person such a beautiful bike. Hope one day I can find one in great shape and own it.
Bought 97 900rr last spring with 33k miles. Original but muffler been changed. It has fallen on right side ones so few errors but now its mine and going to get work done to restore beauty of it. I'm in love with theys 90s hondas. Was born in 95 so didnt ride when they came out.
This is the first bike I ever truly lusted over.
Each model I wanted more till the ‘03 954 which is what I ride today.
Rare!!!! Don’t sell it please 🥲
07/03 954 in colour code: PB-215C (PB215) Candy Tahitian Blue. It'll be the last bike I sell in the fleet of 12.
@@techo61 dayum, 12 bikes? I have 4 and most people I know think that's too much. 2 of them are the 900 rr from the vid.
Love it. I've got a 94 with the dual round lights. It's a fantastic bike that's always a pleasure to ride. Beautiful tri-color you've got there. I keep mine in the living room.
Wow, you keep yours in the living room? That must look pretty cool.
@@BrightsideMedia RIght next to the TV brother
I remember that at the time it was the lightest bike of all among the 900 cylinders, best weight/power ratio and best acceleration from 0-400 meters and excellent torque at low revs, despite not having a top speed as absurd as the kawasaki zx 9r. This 1992 model, despite its nice appearance (because of the round headlights), oozes fury by turning the throttle cable and adding gear after gear. Exceptional and reliable! Congratulations on the video!
One of the best looking bikes to ever come out of Japan. These hit the street when I was a teenager and I remember drooling over these things at the bike dealership dreaming of riding one.
And they still look the part today we'd argue - it has aged really rather well.
I have a 96 RR-T in the red multi colour.
I've had it along time now and dont think i would ever sell it.
Fantastic bike, goes well, still looks the part and it always gets people talking at bike meets and petrol stations.
They've aged very well and still offer very good performance, all things considered.
Great video! The '92 fireblade is a dream bike of mine. A must have. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching! You're very welcome :-)
There is no doubt in my mind.. once my 1976 cb750 is complete, I'm buying one of these.. they have so much history and that perfect retro look..
Are you in uk?
I have very fond memories of my 1994 Fireblade. Mine had the fox eyes head light....ps great vidio.
Thanks very much :-D We love the Fireblade!
You are making some of the most beatuiful motorcycle videos on RUclips, hands down! Always looking forward to your next video. Great work as usually, I really enjoyed watching.
Wow, thank you for the kind words. We work hard to make each film as good as it can be. So it's always encouraging to hear good feedback. Feel free to subscribe if you like, there's loads more coming soon!
@@BrightsideMedia Of course I already did! Thank you for your dedication to this channel.
Thank you! We hope you'll enjoy our future films. There's quite a bit in the pipeline and we will be posting more than we usually do over the coming months, so stay tuned :-)
I had a 2003 Fireblade. My buddy had the 1992. I was surprised how "modern" the 1992 version was when we swapped rides. Although not as capable as my 2001 GSXR1000 with race modifications including the front end tweaked by Rossi's former suspension guy and an Ohlins shock, the 92 Fireblade performed well on the track and road over 10 years later. The Kawasaki 750 of that era was also a very capable track bike. Jordan Szoke in Canada raced it well past its prime against more modern 1000cc bikes and did quite well.
Fair point. Yes, the FireBlade is still quite modern and fresh for a bike that's as old as it is.
Stunning... ‘the’ Blade, in ‘the’ colours imo.. I have an SC33 ‘99 Blade - but this is the one that everyone wants 👌🏼
Couldn't agree more!
I had a CBR 400RR look-a-like which was a good bike and smaller which was handy for the Bangkok traffic. My mate had a '94 Fireblade with a Cosworth tuned engine....
That must have been loads of fun driving around in Bangkok. But talk about fun with a Cossie Fireblade! Was that in Bangkok too?
As a kid, This was the motorcycle that made me fall in love with motorcycles in general. I had a poster of this hung up in my room.
my first racebike ever. 😍. Thanks Tadao Baba 💪
Enjoy it!
Had the 96 model with the fox eye headlights.. wow what an experience it was like holding onto a bullwith a piece of string, God knows how it was so light and agile for a brute of a bike, it had ultra light weight frame and went like the clappers.
Haha, that's a good way of describing it!
We forget what a nuts piece of kit this thing was in its day. Caught many a new owner out with its super quick steering. With a good rider on it, still a monster. Honda telling the world who’s boss.
It's true that many people found these tricky to handle. The press at the time called that steering downright dangerous! But in the right hands...
Still has a place in my heart, had one in 1993, although I had issues with the ditribution tenstioner ..
Even though you had the issues, we hope it still brings back fond memories :-)
Superb video, beautiful bike, in pristine condition. I used to own one of these in the early 2000s. Like an idiot, i sold it!
Gotta love anything that has speed holes
Two GOATs meet. Charles Darwin🤝CBR
I've got a 97 with the shark gill tail. Even today in its factory black it's an evil looking bike.
That's true, they've aged very well and still have serious road presence.
I had the RR-T first if the fox eye in the same colours as this. Full yoshimura exhaust , braided hoses, staff 2 Dynojet, k&n air filter, carbon Harris rear hugger. One of if not the best bike I’ve ever owned. Would love another some day as always regretted selling it.
You can always find another one :-)
I don't even ride, but this bike to me is a legend. Absolutely beautiful!
This was the first bike i got after my Suzuki RGV. I am going to look for one again for a project. I miss her.
Now is a good time to look for one. They'd make a great project and are firmly in the 'modern classic' area now.
カッコええ、この時代が1番すき
ありがとうございます！気に入ってくれて嬉しい
Love the two round headlights and overall design and color.
Beautiful.
We agree!
They should do a remake of this bike looking exactly the same
If only
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
My top five bikes I have owned, and wished I still had . . . Yamaha FS1E SS model, Yamaha RD400E, Kawasaki S2 350 triple, Suzuki GSXR1100 slabside, Honda Fireblade original Urban Tiger. Absolutely top drawer video's, thank you, more please!
Most people stared on a Fizzy, didn't they? That's a great progression. There are loads more videos to come, so feel free to subscribe if you like :-)
Just bought a 1996 in the 50th anniversary paint. Can't wait to pick it up Friday to add to my other Hondas. A pan European and a shadow.
Had the 918cc one and loved it, my last one was a 2010 in Swan colours and was fantastic and i really wish i hadn't sold it!!!!
Perhaps you can find another one :-) In any case, we hope the film brought back some good memories!
@@BrightsideMedia Into old ones now, RD350 and the like but maybe the next one could be an early Blade??
Honda is Number One 1 !! I own a SC 57 from 2004 in good original Condition . I search for a SC 28 in original Condition too, also i owned a XR 600 fron 1995 in totally original Condition . Hondas are my Life !!!
Brilliant parallel with Darwin!
Thanks so much. Really glad it makes sense. Hope you enjoyed the film!
Literally just edited my review of an original 1992 I just rode. It stands up in today's world.
It really does. And it still looks just as cool as well.
The original Blade as well as being revolutionary was also surprisingly comfortable especially when compared to todays sports bikes and IMO it's a better road bike than the latest track biased Blade.
i see so many people talking about their fireblades, i don't have one but i wish one day i'd be able to buy it, though atm i don't even have a bike, but im going for the first gen CBR150R, my dad used to ride it but had to sell it since spare parts back then are hard to get since you need to import them from thailand. now that people found alternatives for it, im saving up to buy the same bike, i hope i'll be able to get it this year
Fingers crossed everything goes to plan for you! We're sure you'll enjoy it when you get it :-)
This was my second street bike after the ZX-7. Loved it
I love the look of the bike. Beautiful(imo)
Thanks 😊 we love the look of it too.
not only was the original Blade fasf a f, nimble a f, pretty a f, stopped quick a f............. it also had loads of holes drilled in the bodywork. YEAH BABY.........!! nobody before or since has drilled sooooooo many holes in a bike's bodywork. all hail Soichiro's stylists
Gorgeous bike still to this day
It really is :-) And will remain so for quite some time to come.
One thing: Balance was perfect!
True indeed!
What a pleasure to watch a such movie ! ♥ More more more ! ! Great job !
Thank you :-) There's quite a bit more coming this year. So subscribe if you like!
@@BrightsideMedia allready done of course ! ♥
Awesome! Thank you :-)
I was 20, when this beast came out. It shocked the rider scene, I frequented on weekends. Fat, short, bulbous....but it just looks like it's combat hardware. It really was the star of the sportbike world, until the Ducati 916, came along. (If my memory serves me correctly. )
My dream bike back then, now still a dream bike....
The best model with this colors and two front lights.
Yes, it's the original - the one to have.
当時ZXR750R（フルパワー）買う予定だったけど、このコンセプトに心変わりして、これ買ったんだよな〜
とても良い選択をしましたね。
I have a 93 and it makes my life better.
God I wish I still had my old one
Great vid. Love my ‘92 RRN... don’t see many 100% stock anymore!
Thank you :-) You're right that stock ones are a rare sight. Which we think is a real shame as they look great straight out of the factory.
Almost stock sorry to be a keyboard warrior but the forks front mudguard holders and end can are from a 94/95 and the indicators are for 96/99 blades
Still and amazing bike and nice to see it being used out on the road as it should be just wanted to point them bits out just in case you didn’t know them yourself?
I have a 100% stock 97 900 rr love it
Ill take this bike to any modern bike of the day.. modern bikes lost their charisma. Before when we say sportbike they have badass looks, sounds loud and deep and fat tank just perfect.
I have two of them. One for track days and one for daily use.
Yea they're old but they're good enough for small money.
And used parts are easy to get.
Enjoyed that very much, thanks for uploading.
Awesome :-) Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome work, 900RR nerd here
Thanks :-) glad you like it! We really enjoyed making it.
Great video one of my dream bikes😍
Thanks :-) We love the FireBlade as well!
Looking to buy one this week! Amazing
To day i have one same on my garage this bike is my real first love.
Get one while they still don't cost the earth ;-)
My dad has one of those, that thing was beatiful
I have a honda cb1000 but looking at one of these beautiful bikes next .
Good choice!
Yeah, love it but the very best livery was the Urban Tiger.
That did look cool we admit
did you ever ride the 954cc? I sold my 2017 Tuono because if the digital on/off throttle & the fuel cut. It was super annyôying in the city.
Keep up the great content! 👍
We certainly will :-) Feel free to subscribe and watch this space, we've got a new film coming out very very soon!
The only vintage bike I desire to own and chase after it’s maintenance.
CBR RRは250 、400シリーズからファイヤーブレードの２つ名がついてましたが別の名前もあったかもしれなかったのは初めて知りました。
Interestingly, it's not the modern 1000RR Fireblade that continues that heritage of being light and nimble yet powerful but the Suzuki's GSX-R 750. I can't imagine anything closer to original 900RR Fireblade concept and idea than the modern GSX-R 750.
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
Beautiful bike. Oval headlights are my favorite. I can't decide which one to get. Either this one or the Yamaha FZR600 3HE.
Excellent bike & don’t forget it’s smaller brother, the cbr600 f2 as they share the same engine but as smaller capacity
Yes, true
My dad owns one. I cant wait to ride it
I like this style than the current one
We'd have to agree with you there
Love this Era of motorcycling
It's a lot different from what came before, that's for sure :-)
Very very nice video. I found your video on reddit post.
Thanks for coming :-) Really happy you like the video. Feel free to subscribe if you like.
Ich habe die sc44 ein super schönes und auch auf langen Strecken tolles Motorrad
I currently own a VTR 1000 and love the usable power
Me too, Firestorm is bike with balls, spitting flames, shooting bombs(Scorpion Titanium Oval Slip On - best exhaust I have ever bought), never had a bike with that much character. You really need to think about how to ride it, more throttle in corner and you are out, because there is not TCS. It is really cheap bike with so much you can get from it.
i regret selling mine. was doooo fast and loud. sanity had to prevail
Great video but I don't think the weight ever went up, maybe you're quoting kerb weight for some and dry weight for others? Mines a 98 and is listed as 182kg dry. By 2000 (929) it was down to 171kg and for 2002 (954), 169kg.
I think this relentless progress is why they remained so popular.
I think they went up from the SC50 to the SC57, but then again, it was the first liter - version where they had to build a completely new engine from the ground up. I myself have a 2000 929 SC44 for about a month now and I'm loving it
Best Model ever!!!!!
We like the first one best as well :-)
I've got a 97 with a shark gill tail. I'll never part with it. It's just a menacing bike and always has been
Keep it and take care of it. You'll never loose a penny and you'll make loads in terms of smiles per mile :-)
I have an 93 model, still a great bike!
Good to hear!
Can you do a vid on the zzr1100 d model plz? Great vid
Thanks.
Eu não sou fã de moto mas as Honda de 86 a 98 são as motos mais lindas que existem !
ESPECTACULAR. Nice job frend!!
Thank you very much! Really glad you like it :-)
Old bikes design and colours better than today☯️sound also..carburator better than injection...
Yes, true :-D
Legendary
Bike was way ahead of it's time.
Absolutely, and it made a serious impact on the world of motorbikes.
Early models are very rare and never seen on the market
They are quite rare, true. Especially in good condition. This one's for sale though.
The same is true with all of the sport bikes from this era really. Most got used up, crashed, and scrapped. How often do you see a first gen GSXR-750? First gen FZR-1000? etc..
my bike number 3, fantastic all over, looking for another one the same.
Find a good one and hang on to it :-)
What's the background soundtrack... sounds so cool
Let’s be honest, the Fireblade name is much more iconic than Lightning
Yeah, we'd have to agree with that!
Beautiful 😍
大排気量、軽量、ハイパワーの始まりですね！
歴史的モデルです
Fireblade sounds better than lightning, glad they went with the former.
These bikes are great, specialy Honda
They're really good, aren't they? What are you riding?
Great video very informative. The latest fire blade nearly 100 bhp more than the original model now that’s amazing engineering, no wonder Charles Darwin drives a fire blade
Thanks :-) I can see Charlie riding one!
Brightside Media virago 750 96 until last mounth and now looking seventies Honda fours... realy difficult here in Brazil
