Talk:Honda CBR900RR

Restart

This article needs to be restarted from the ground up. The entire text is unencyclopedic heavily POV. --Milkmandan 09:05, 2005 Feb 25 (UTC)

I agree. I am a Honda tech of 7 years, but also a Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki tech -- this article is not only biased, but inaccurate. Needs to be revised with better knowledge of the 900RR's history. --[User:kinako mochi] 04:34, 2005 Jun 17

Sounds a bit like a bike review rather than an entry. -- Leitmotif 12:35, 2005 Jul 6 (GMT+2)

Have done my best to remove some of the more glaring emotive language. I'm not completely certain of the technical details, so I'll leave those for some more qualified soul to improve upon. -- Leitmotif 22:11, 2005 Aug 18 (GMT+2)

The text here would pass for unbiased in any bike magazine, but there is another problem. The CBR900 series is the same thing as the Honda Fireblade series, which already has a large and detailed article. This article should just redirect to [[23]]

Or the other way 'round! The Fireblade page should redirect here (and its content stolen and placed here), as CBR900RR is the bike's model name (Fireblade is its marketing name, of which, for a particular model, there may be more than one). With this particular model it is not such a problem, but where there are two or more marketing names (neither of which is the model name, e.g., Firestorm and Super Hawk, both for VTR1000F), keeping the model-named page the main page, and the other names redirects, makes a lot of sense. That said, the Fireblade page needs some grammar work (I wonder which language it was originally!) JZH

20th

Did some re-working of the article based on the 20th Anniversary articles on http://world.honda.com/CBR1000RR/history/index.html. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.106.98.106 (talk) 23:38, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Fireblade in the title

I moved (i.e. changed the name of) the article to include 'Fireblade'. Now this was revised saying "The CBR 1000RR is aslo calle fireblade in some countries but that page is not called CBR1000RR fireblade". Sorry, I don't see the point. All bikes mentioned in this article were called 'Fireblade' by the producer, media and most users. And you mean that this word should not appear in the title, because it was not always used for a certain CBR1000 in all countries? --Edoe (talk) 09:53, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

The CBR900RR like the CBR1000RR was not marketed for sale as fireblade in the US or Canada there were never any markings on the bikes sold in North America saying fireblade. Not even one of the references on the page make any mention of the word fireblade. Even the manufactures 20 year timeline does not make any mention of the word fireblade, in fact it does state this when displacement increases that while still being called just CBR900RR in some markets it is now marketed in North America as CBR929RR. And then with the 954 it is marketed in North America and Japan as CBR954RR. This has all been covered in previous discussions. The fireblade naming is discussed in the CBR900RR article like on the CBR1000RR page so it is not left out of the articles. As this is the English speaking version of Wikipedia the material I believe is suppose to reflect these markets I.E. US, Canada, UK, and Australia. 72bikers (talk) 17:04, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
