The Honda t100 Evo fireblade, was an official “special” built at the end of 1998 to celebrate Honda’s 100th victory in the Isle of Man TT Races. The bike debuted at the NEC motorcycle show in 98, and was well received by the crowds, even if the price tag gave most a heart attack. The brains behind the project were Mick Grant (an ex racer turned Honda bod) and Russell Savory (a tuner by trade) , both had been working together in the RS performance / Sanyo Honda team. The bike still looked very much like a stock blade, but had a more “purposeful appearance” an exposed single-sided swing arm and two fresh air scoops near the screen.

Money no object” seemed to be the order of the day, in the design and build of the reworking, better breathing for the engine was key to the CBR’s extra power. The two huge air ducts above the headlight, pushed large amounts of air into a large-volume airbox. Carbs were changed to 41mm keihin flat sides and the exhaust was a 4 into 1 titanium unit with a micron carbon oval silencer.

All the major internals were balanced, ie pistons, conrods and crankshaft along with the cylinderhead being ported and gas flowed. RS performance high lift cams operated standard valves closed by RS springs. The stock gearbox was ditched in favour of a close ratio one, and the ignition box changed to help the bike peak at a 12,200 rpm limit. Ohlins suspension was added in the form of 43mm inverted racing forks and an Ohlins unit at the back that was compatible with the single sided swinging-arm. Stopping power was supplied by brembos finest 4 pot calipers and 320mm discs at the front, these were connected to lightweight dymags.

Marchesini single-sided swinging arm, Öhlins rear shock absorber and USD forks, Brembo brakes, 'ram air' induction, restyled bodywork, Stack instrumentation, close-ratio gear cluster, gearbox quick shifter, Dymag wheels and a 22.5-litre fuel tank, the latter essential for two laps of the TT course. Savory's RS Performance tuned the engine, which retained the stock 918cc capacity but incorporated a balanced bottom-end, special camshafts, an up-rated ignition system and Keihin 41mm flat-slide carburettors. It was intended that 250 Evolution models would be made to meet the homologation requirements but in the end only around one quarter of that number was produced.

rs performance (russel savory) also did most if not all of hondas 50th anniversery bikes.
i'm not sure they did the rarest ones tho, that being the super blackbird, as less than half of the 50 were ever made. they reckoned the 50th blackbird could crack 200mph...

I beg your pardon!

They are amazing mate I've only ever seen a few of them on the road super super rare to see one in use, a friends dad had one new for a few years it was amazing

The EVO blade has to be the ultimate blade ever, back in its day that was mental power,
the R1 when it came out claimed 150bhp but only actually had around 122 or 125 at the wheel
these was putting out what they quoted, and those RAM air pipes was the thing poster bikes dreams was made of.
And that single swingarm Ohhhhh special or what
