The Fireblade has been an Institution for over ten years, having started the supersports revolution back in 1992. Now, in 2004 it is once again undergoing a revolution, ready to take on the world again.

Engine
For the ideal riding position:
A new 998cc liquid-cooled inline 4 with a host of new features including a shorter, more compact size for better stability and lighter, quicker handling; RAM air and dual sequential fuel injection for better performance.
HESD
the first time a steering damper has been added to the Fireblade, because it is the first time Honda has developed a damper it is satisfied with. By monitoring the vehicle speed and acceleration the rotary and electrical system maintains the optimum damping for the speed - at lower speeds less damping is required - just think urban riding - whilst at higher speeds more damping is required to smooth out all the bumps in the road.
Unit Pro-Link Suspension
As featured on the CBR600RR, the suspension reduces the stresses and extra weight normally put on the frame by the rear suspension by carrying the entire rear damper and suspension linkage assembly in the swingarm.
Styling
RCV inspired styling from the underseat exhaust through to the riding position designed for the hands to be closer together and more compact.
