CBR Fireblade |
All engine dimensions remain the same, including stroke and cylinder pitch. The reciprocating weight of the pistons and wrist pins was reduced and as the image opposite illustrates the new pistons are significantly smaller than their predecessors. Honda claims this helps eliminate the vibration and extra stresses that often come with this sort of increase in displacement. I don't know about this one, I think the new bike does have an ever so tiny vibe felt through the bars that never seemed to be apparent on the 929. I only felt this briefly a couple of times during some big kilometre days but it is worth a mention even though I can't see it ever becoming a problem.
