Honda CBR 900 RR Fireblade weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

This is neither unusually light nor extremely heavy. For most riders the practical weight question is more about seat height, center of mass and low-speed balance than the scale number alone. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Honda CBR 900 RR Fireblade weight FAQ

How heavy is the Honda CBR 900 RR Fireblade?

Listed dry weight is 374.8 lb (170 kg) to 407.9 lb (185 kg). Because no usable wet/running figure was supplied, treat that as a lower starting point rather than the exact on-road weight.

It sits fairly close to the middle of the category. Its representative dry weight is around the 58th percentile among 42 compatible Honda sport bikes.

Does the Honda CBR 900 RR Fireblade weight change by model year?

Not every covered year uses the same figure. The page groups identical values together and lists the later model years where the supplied weight specification changes.
