Crash test ratings
NHTSA NCAP crash test ratings
New Car Assessment ProgramNCAP crash tests measure how well a vehicle protects occupants in controlled frontal crash, side crash, and rollover scenarios. Stars are awarded per category (5 = safest). These laboratory results are independent of owner complaints and are performed by NHTSA engineers on new production vehicles.
NCAP crash test ratings for this model are not yet loaded or this vehicle was not tested in the years analyzed. NHTSA tests a subset of new vehicles each year. Check nhtsa.gov/ratings directly for the latest results.
What the complaint data suggests
AverageBased on 9 NHTSA complaints across 2000–2001, the data suggests that issues are concentrated in the power train and steering systems. The 2000 model year received slightly more complaints than 2001, but the sample is very small. One crash was reported, though no defect is confirmed.
- Power train accounts for 4 of 9 complaints, the highest among components.
- Steering accounts for 3 of 9 complaints, the second most reported.
- The 2000 model year has 5 complaints versus 4 for 2001, a minimal difference.
- Power train issues appear most frequently in complaints.
- Steering concerns are also commonly reported.
- Electrical system, fuel system, and gasoline each have 1 complaint.
The 2000 model year has 5 complaints, slightly more than 2001. Power train and steering complaints are the main contributors, but the difference is small.
The 2001 model year has 4 complaints versus 5 for 2000, a negligible difference. Neither year stands out as clearly better.
- Inspect power train components, including transmission and drivetrain.
- Check steering system for any reported issues.
- Verify all open recalls at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
- Request service records for power train and steering repairs.
- Have a mechanic inspect the motorcycle before purchase.

The basics
How to read this data
Complaints, recalls, investigations — here’s what each number actually tells you about a used Honda Cbr929rr, in plain English.
What is an NHTSA Complaint?
An NHTSA safety complaint is a report filed directly by a vehicle owner or driver describing a safety-related issue. Anyone can submit a complaint at NHTSA.gov. The number of complaints is a signal of how common a problem is — but complaints per model-year matter more than raw totals, since popular vehicles naturally receive more reports. The Honda Cbr929rr has 9 complaints on record across 2 model years.
What is a Safety Recall?
A safety recall is a mandatory campaign issued by NHTSA when a vehicle component poses an unreasonable risk to safety or does not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards. Unlike complaints (which are owner-reported), recalls are formally investigated and confirmed by regulators. Manufacturers must fix recalled vehicles free of charge. The Honda Cbr929rr has 3 recall campaigns in the NHTSA database.
What Are Crash Complaints?
Crash complaints are NHTSA filings where the owner indicates a crash occurred as part of the incident. 1 of the Honda Cbr929rr's 9 complaints involved a crash. This metric is particularly important because it indicates how often defects resulted in actual collisions — a key safety signal beyond general reliability.
How Is the Reliability Verdict Calculated?
The reliability verdict (Average) is generated by analyzing the vehicle's total complaints, recall history, crash complaint ratio, fire complaint ratio, and top component failures relative to class averages. This verdict gives buyers a quick interpretation before they review year-level details and VIN-level history. It should be treated as one decision input, not a substitute for a VIN-specific report.
Why Do Newer Years Have Fewer Complaints?
Newer model years appear to have fewer complaints because there has been less time for owners to file them. Complaints accumulate over years of ownership. A 2020 model year vehicle will typically show fewer complaints than a 2015 model year even if it is less reliable — simply because fewer owners have had time to report issues. Focus on complaints per year of market presence when comparing across model years.
Fleet Data vs. Individual VIN
Everything on this page reflects aggregated data across all Honda Cbr929rr vehicles on the road — not any specific car. Two Honda Cbr929rr vehicles of the same year can have very different histories: one may have been in three accidents and have an open recall; another may be clean. A VIN check gives you the individual car's history: accidents, title brands, odometer records, service history, and real-time recall status.
What Are NHTSA Investigations?
When NHTSA receives a pattern of related safety complaints, it opens a formal investigation. A Preliminary Evaluation (PE) is the first stage — NHTSA determines if a safety defect may exist. If evidence is strong, it escalates to an Engineering Analysis (EA), which can result in a mandatory recall. The Honda Cbr929rr has 0 investigations on record (0 active). Investigations listed above may have already led to the recalls shown on this page.
