This is a sight that should brighten a dull Monday - Honda's gorgeous 2012 WSB Fireblade. The official HRC team of British young (ish) gun Jonathan Rea and Japanese rider Hiroshi Aoyama have just unveiled the final look of the 2012 Blade that they will be competing on in WSB.
Based on the paint scheme of the 2012 road bike, the styling is a nod towards the original FireBlade, which was launched 20 years ago in 1992.
The WSB season kicks off this weekend in Phillip Island, so get the beers in and prepare to stay up late as us Brits have loads to cheer about.
PH2's top tip is the hugely impressive Eugene Laverty on the rocketship of an Aprilia, but Jonathan Rea on the tried-and-tested Honda, Tom Sykes on the green meanie Kawasaki, Leon Haslam on the fickle BMW, WSB new boy and WSS champ Chaz Davies on the Aprilia and Leon Camier on the new 2012 GSX-R1000 are all going to be in the mix! Bring it on!
