The 1986 Suzuki GSXR-750. The 1998 Yamaha R-1. The 1989 Kawasaki ZX-7R. The 1993 Honda CBR900RR “Fireblade.” If you seek a collection of the foursome of Japanese sportbikes that pushed our segment of motorcycling forward in a series of quantum leaps, there are no substitutes. The 1993 Honda CBR900RR you see before you would make an awesome start to such a collection.
1993 Honda CBR900RR for sale on eBay
With around 110 horsepower from an 893cc inline four in a package that was 75 pounds lighter than the Yamaha FZR1000, the Fireblade showed the world that liter-class bikes didn’t need to be pigs, and could, in fact, couple precise handling with wrath-of-God acceleration. There simply was not another bike in the early 1990s that was doing what the diminutive Honda was doing, and it was a good few years before the competitors caught up.
This example may not wear the signature red-white-blue bodywork of the early CBRs, but the black and grey is a worthy second to that livery, and the iconic vented twin headlight face is there in all its glory. It was reportedly kept in a garage as part of a collection, and has been made ready to ride ahead of the sale. The tires look new, and the period-looking Yoshimura pipe is a lovely touch. If the photo gallery is to be believed, there are precious few blemishes.

The mileage shows this one was well ridden before it was put in the collection, but that just means it has been mechanically cared for over its life. With a Honda, there should be nothing to worry about. For the rabid Japanese sportbike fan, this thing is a must-have. And if recent Bring A Trailer craziness is anything to go by, there are hungry buyers out there if you decide it’s not for you.
Definitely on the higher end, especially with the higher mileage. Unless my memory is failing I recall seeing equally clean examples with lower mileage fetching 6k on here.
Copy that Hiram… This is a nice example but not THAT nice for THAT ask. But still glad to see prices inching up. Makes my clean ’95 seem like a good “investment” at $1500 ????
Very cool bike. Everyone wants the 93 blue/white on, right? Yes, including me. The condition is great but not awesome. I would guess $5500 is right on the money given the color and mileage.
Bought this year and color brand new. Jam it in second gear, snap off the lever and throw it in the garbage, and ride the thing to Africa! It was a stompy grunt power that never failed to impress. That, and the sketch 16″ front hoop that felt like it wanted to fold at speed in the corners (although it never really did). I loved mine but it did have tranny issues from the factory…
