  the honda cbr900rr, also known as the fireblade in some countries, is a large displacement sport bike introduced in 1992 by honda. it was the first of a series of large-displacement honda models to carry the rr suffix. the development of the first generation cbr900rr was led by tadao baba. ==history== ===cbr900rr=== the first generation rr, the cbr900rr, was introduced in 1992 with an  inline-four engine set a precedent for light weight in the super bike class. the cbr900rr was based on an advanced research stage model known within honda as the "cbr750rr". with the objective of equaling the acceleration of competitorsâ flagship sport bikes, honda increased the stroke of its inline 4-cylinder 750cc engine and raised displacement to 893cc. complementing this excellent power performance were the bikeâs dry weight of 185 kg, wheelbase of 1,405 mm and body almost identical to that of the advanced research stage model. at  with a full fuel tank, the cbr900rr was just  heavier than honda's own cbr600f2, and  lighter than the next-lightest open-class machine at the time, the yamaha fzr1000. thumb|1996 austrian type sc33 i numerous changes were made to the second-generation rr, which debuted in 1994, including revised spring and damping rates, a compression adjuster was added to the front fork, an improved shift drum to cure notchy shifting, the upper cowl stay went from steel to aluminum, and the cylinder head cover went from aluminum to magnesium. the styling of the bike also became more aggressive: the independent dual lights became irregular-shaped multi-reflector lights known as "tiger eyes" and the bike now featured fewer of the rr's unique fairing holes. in addition, slimmer and firmer footpegs were patterned after the rc45 and a shift linkage replaced the original model's backward pedal. a new instrument panel included an electronic speedometer that measured speed from the countershaft sprocket, rather than the front wheel. thumb|right|1997 cbr900rr ===cbr900rr (919)=== 1996 brought the first major changes to what was now the third generation of the cbr900rr. in order to achieve a more optimized balance of rigidity, honda significantly altered the 1996 cbr's chassis and suspension. the frame and swingarm were fabricated from larger, thinner-walled extrusions for increased torsional rigidity. the fork and shock internals were re-de
