Honda CBR954RR Fireblade (2002 - 2003)

Reviewed: 25 August 2009 by Visordown

When I took it out for a spin I was impressed. Here was a machine with a fast, but torquey motor and with a really positive front end to it. My knowledge of road bikes of the time was that they were mostly all over the place and yet here ... Continue reading

The Blade is full of Honda specific cliches. From it's riding position to it's build quality and finish. Everything about the bike is just 'right'. For me I think it is going to be a future classic, but then I Continue reading...

I am proud to call a yellow/blue 954 mine for 6 months now and it's just a blast. If you are looking for a comfy powerful but very compact bike that can handle anything you throw at it on paved road, look no fu Continue reading...

I live in the U.S. and I own a 2002 CBR954RR. Aside from a 72cc Yamaha Chappy I had to actually get a license for, it's 1st real motorcycle I've owned. I'm the 2nd owner and I bought it w/about 800 miles on it 7 yrs ago and I put about 500 of those 1st 800 before I bought it. It now has 61,000+ miles on it and I love it. It's smokes a bit, but that's to be expected w/the miles that are on it. Beautiful, powerful (enough), affordable and last but definately not least..Dependable! I wish Honda built more than 2 yrs of them.

I have a 954 for 2 years and the first thing I did when I bought it, was to fit a Sprint Steering Damper. Slight head shaking when going for it exiting bumpy corners.Was a bit hairy but never dangerous. All's well now. No slappers. Fuel consumption can be all over the place although throttle use is the cause. Anything from 2.5 mls per ltr to 14-15 mls per ltr. You take your choice. Hel brake lines make super brakes even better without loosing feel in the front end. Perilli Corsa tyres suit the bike inspiring confidence. 3000 odd good miles from the front and about 5-6000 from the front. Dead easy to ride fast or slow. Tracks round corners as on rails with loads of feedback from the suspension. I tightened the forks a tad. Best in white with a Remus Carbon end-can, ditching the Bin of an original. I honestly can't fault this Blade and I have been riding all sorts of bike for 30 years plus. It's akeeper and if it proves to be as reliable as my 89 VFR 750 ( 80000 mls ) I will be one happy chap.

Amongst the dozens of bikes I've had including a newer 1000 Blade before I got a mint 954 and can say it's the best bike I've had and the only one I've hung on to. With just the addition of a comfy seat it does everything, 500 mile days, tracks, general hooning, even commuting through traffic while still feeling move alive than the newer blade. Honda should use this as the model for a new v4.
