Its another Fireblade .. !!!! bit like another GSXR K 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ..... 167 (what number are they on now ??

It'll be blisteringly quicker, planted and unless you are running in BSB more than any of us could ever master ...

Oh, and bland looking .. Blades post foxeye always are ..... the vanilla superbike ..

ridden one, used to have an RR6 one so can compare to the previos model, it is faster-mot by miles but noticeable and definatly pulls stronger through the mid range, hadling is pretty sweet but then so was the one it replaced cant really fault any Fireblade post RRY for thier handling in my opinion, i was considering changing my 600 for one, am i going to?,no, im going to keep my 600 and get an old R1 with the money it would cost me to upgrade that way i can have 2 great bikes instead of 1.

Next year's 1000s will be 0.4 kg lighter and have an even bigger exhaust.
Same, otherwise!
Skip that extra snack each day and buy a year-old 'old' model for £2000 less!
