Fireblade SP

Why does it matter if it's all brand new designs or not? The old Fireblade still had the best chassis in its class, and I'd argue even now it still does. It's lighter, more powerful, and faster. What more do you want?

Sounds like people are reading too many magazine / internet reviews.

I've ridden a 954 FireBlade. It was st.

HTH.

My biggest problem now is that all of my kit is black and fluorescent yellow. That really isn't going to work well with the red, white and blue colour scheme of the SP.

I know what you're thinking and yeah, you're totally right.

I wasn't on about the 954 Fireblade, I was on about the 08-16 model

You can say it anyway if it'd make you feel better? That's my gift to you

It's still a Honda

But yes I agree on the 08-16

That's not going to work.

Nice bike mister...

Rawwr,

I have had virtually every iteration of Fireblade made at one point or another. I can honestly say that I'm sitting here green I'm so jealous

I still have my 929 and despite everyone from journos to mags telling me my bike is st I have a soft spot for it and that fact that its immaculate makes it a keeper. The point is it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But make no mistake that new SP is weapon and I'd sell the missus and kids for one ! You can't hear the naysayers with your lid on when blatting along anyhoo !

Enjoy it even looking like a bumble bee

that you need to shop for a smaller slip on exhaust and tail tidy as well ?

I haven't changed either of those on my last 4 bikes, probably not likely to start now

More spare cash to spend on your leather and helmet fetish then

[Rawwr]

Well there is that.

I just don't see the point, really. Noisy exhausts annoy people and the only condition I'd see my tail tidy whilst riding is if I'm crashing, which would probably be least of my concerns at that precise moment.

All very logical although I usually just change lots of stuff anyway, just cant stop tinkering I guess

Each to their own and all that; I met someone last week who was changing the chain on his new R1M because the colour didn't match...we all have our new bike "rituals" but thats a new one on me ...

I love PH.
You get some really friendly biker banter on here.
No opinionated, "I'm right so there" comments.

Enjoy the SP Rawwr (tiny bit jealous)

Anything I say now will not have the same impact!

You just wanted to call me a bender, didn't you?
