Default what makes it a Fireblade?

What makes a Fireblade a Fireblade? I was riding on Sunday and some dude was telling me every 900 is a Fireblade. I know my bike has all the stock fairings and decals and it doesn't say Fireblade on it. Was he wrong or am I a big fat loser living a life of lies??? haha

Here in the US we didn't call them Fireblades, but in other countries, the 900 and above CBR-RRs are fireblades (including the 1000). You can get the OEM sticker set for non-US versions that says "Fireblade".

Canada receives 1000RR Fireblades, but not the U.S., unless I've been breathing fumes again and am mistaken...

As far as I knew, the "Fireblade" term was originally designated to the 900 series but it was attached to the newer models by association. That was my knowledge. I think it depends on a persons integral knowledge of Honda and its history of Higher CC bikes in the past ten years. I would say an 07 1000RR is a fireblade by designation but a 20 yr old kid that just threw down 12 grand of his daddy's cash would say otherwise. You be the judge...
