Book excerpt: The appearance of Honda's CBR900 in 1992 rendered the then-current crop of superbikes obsolete, thanks to its potent and unbeatable mix of light weight and raw power. This unique volume takes you full circle, from previously unpublished preliminary design sketches, to an in-depth technical look at what makes the 'Blade' so special, to what a stunned press thought of its awesome mix of handling and power, up through the Fireblade's racing successes. Contains in-depth interviews with the men who made the 'Blade' happen, what to look for when buying a used machine, and how to tune it for increased performance.
