Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable with a fast-revving inline-four and aggressive sportbike ergonomics.
PurposeBuilt primarily for high-performance sport riding and track-day work, with razor-sharp handling and strong braking.
Rider FitExpect a committed forward-leaning riding position with high footpegs and a low clip-on reach that puts real load on wrists and wrists at low speed.
CharacterIt has the classic Fireblade character: light, precise, and eager to be pushed hard through corners with confidence-inspiring chassis feedback.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good choice for new riders, tall-comfort seekers, long-distance touring, or anyone needing off-road capability.

2009 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2009 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade ABS, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
