1996 brought major changes to the CBR900RR with the third generation. To optimize rigidity Honda revised the suspension and chassis. Larger thinner-walled extrusions for more torsional rigidity were used in the swingarm and frame, revised shock and fork internals, and 5 mm (0. 2 in) raised swingarm pivot. The handlebars were raised by 10 mm (0. 4 in) and swept back by five degrees to improve the riding position. A 1 mm (0. 04 in) bore increase raised the engine displacement to 919 cc (56. 1 cu in). Other revisions included a smaller alternator, the addition of a throttle position sensor, extra clutch plates, and a larger exhaust.
The only changes for the 1997 model were graphics and colour options.
In 1998, Honda continued subtle refinements in the fourth generation CBR900RR's chassis. It got a stiffer frame more like the original, offset on the triple clamp reduced by 5 mm (0. 2 in). It received a redesigned fairing, a new dual-reflector headlight design, new windscreen, mirrors, and rear cowl. The brakes got larger rotors on the front and new calipers and ergonomics were revised with raised footpegs. The engine got revised with 80 percent new internals in an effort to reduce friction and weight. Cylinders bore got an aluminium composites treatment and new pistons. A new instrument cluster includes an LCD tachometer and speedometer, and LCD readouts for temperature, odometer and two tripmeters. It also got a larger radiator and a new exhaust header in stainless steel.
This example is a one owner UK bike with a couple of personal touches, which could either be left as they are or returned to standard. This bike starts and runs, and benefits from a fresh clean MOT and 2 keys. Ready to go!
