Honda Cbr929rr
The Honda CBR929RR was introduced in 2000 as the successor to the CBR919RR, featuring a completely redesigned engine and chassis that made it significantly lighter and more powerful than its predecessor. It was a landmark sportbike that helped Honda reclaim competitiveness in the open-class supersport segment, introducing a more compact inline-four engine layout that influenced Honda's design philosophy for years to come. It was produced for only two years (2000-2001) before being replaced by the CBR954RR, but earned a strong reputation for its handling and performance balance.

What Buyers Should Know
Inspect the Swingarm Bearings
The CBR929RR is known for premature swingarm and linkage bearing wear, especially on neglected examples. Always check for play or roughness before buying, as replacement is labor-intensive.
Proven Reliable Engine
The 929cc inline-four is widely regarded as extremely durable when properly maintained, often lasting well beyond 50,000 miles. It was Honda's first RC51-inspired Fireblade with a significantly revised, more compact chassis.
Stable Resale Value
The 929RR holds its value well among sport bike enthusiasts due to its one-year-only production run (2000–2001), making clean examples increasingly desirable to collectors. Budget $3,000–$5,500 for a good used example.
