2001

A major revision for the open-class Honda resulted in the Honda CBR900RR 929, aimed squarely at the Yamaha YZF-R1. A completely new 929 cc (56.7 cu in) engine incorporated fuel injection, more oversquare cylinder dimensions, larger valves set at a narrower included angle, lighter internals, and an all-titanium, HTEV-equipped exhaust system. The "pivotless" chassis had the swingarm mounted to the engine cases but incorporated a brace underneath the engine. Updated suspension and brakes included an inverted front fork and huge 330 mm (13 in) front discs; and the 16 in (410 mm) front wheel was replaced for a more common 17 in (430 mm) wheel.Honda CBR900RR 929 Fairings
