I have an 01 honda 929 i bought it with no fairings.How can i tell if its a fireblade or not?

 

technically the fireblade is the euro name for the CBR.

 

I use to know but I forgot, what does CBR stand for again?

 

lol i dont know im new to honda

 

Thanks Playful God

 

CBR doesn't stand for anything, it's simply Honda'sdesignation for an in-line 4 sportbike. Though there's a lot of made up things.

If you were to visit the factory in japan and ask that question, they would tell you this:


The design of the engine was based on a radical new idea. The cylinders used to be in line, front to back on other hondas but on the first CB bikes the cylinders ran in line left to right.

The bike was named after the new engine design/configuration which was mounted CROSS BEAM.

The faired bikes that followed were CROSS BEAM RACERS.

 

The Cross Beam racer is probably an urban legend, like "City Bike - Racer". Over the years, Honda has hada lot of lines starting with "C", such as C, CB, CD, CE, CL, CS, CM, CA, CR, CX, CJ.

In 1959, the first American Honda dealership opened in L.A., the line up had theC100 Super Cub, CB92 Benly Super Sport 125, CA95 Benly Touring 150, CA71 Dream Touring 250, CE71 Dream Sport 250, and C76 Dream Touring 300.They all had similar engines and mounts.

***jpmo24, I purchased my Fireblade in Japan....the salesman actually said my bike was of European Specs. Maybe you can tell by the VIIN.
