Comments from the seller
1998 Honda Fireblade 900RR (919). Genuine 43000km. Gold detailing edition. Hard to find. Comes with 2 mufflers original with small dint(roadworthy purposes) and smart Scorpion..
Pleasure to ride some small scratches on tank. Never dropped. Located in Narre Warren Vic. Price $7000. Extras include Tank Bag, rear panniers and gold nut and bolt kit (been to lazy to put them on her). The bike does have Legendary designer Tadao Baba' signature. See pics. Only the 97/98 models have this. Look it up. It reads "FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KNOW THE MEANING OF LIGHT WEIGHT" "EXECUTIVE PROJECT LEAD" "TADAO BABA"
"What's new about this Fireblade 98?" That's what the uninitiated might say if they haven't noticed a few details. It's true that at first glance, apart from the new colors, it's hard to tell the CBR 98 from its predecessor. Yet it's clear that it has changed. A new headlamp, a significantly larger fairing, a slightly reworked rear end... But it's too little to really stand out. Most of the work on this evolution is to be found under the bodywork. For the new CBR 900 RR, Honda has remained faithful to its "Total Control" philosophy, while making in-depth changes to the machine.
The most obvious change is in the handling. The chassis has been redesigned, with a weight loss of 3 kg, a 5 mm forward steering column and a correspondingly reduced offset of the tees. As a result, the wheelbase remains unchanged, as do weight distribution, caster and column angle. So what's the trick? Well, that's not all! We've optimized the chassis and slightly modified the rider's position. Half handlebars are 5 mm higher and 10 mm further apart. The footrests are also 5 mm higher. This allows the rider to be less forward, with better leverage and improved agility. The CBR marks a real step forward in comparison with its predecessor, making it even more lively and easy to ride. The fork is far more efficient and comfortable, digesting minor road imperfections while preserving the chassis' neutrality and pleasant feel. Progress is even more obvious with the brakes. By increasing the diameter of the discs from 296 to 310 mm, the sporty machine boasts highly effective, powerful, biting braking, though without the fine feel of a certain GSX-R.
An efficient, user-friendly sports machine, it adds to its relative ease of use a comfort and protection that are much appreciated on long journeys. You can go over 180 without having to bend your back. Compared to the new R1, the CBR is much more pleasant to live with...
