Test riding a 09 fireblade - lets see what the fuss is all about! Be interested to see how it compares to my 748sps & 998S..... Really like the Repsol one Honda.......it's dirty but you know you want to.......:-) |
Ahhhh.. the grass is always greener on the other side - but that's because of all the manure over there!!! ;) |
I expect you'll love it, but probably still not buy one. It'll be like a rocket ship, do everything you could ever want it to, but be as boring as hell to ride. That was my experience anyway. The R1 is a better bike as it has more character (imo). |
Hated it!!!! Engine & brakes are superb - so much drive...f**k me!!! However.... >you sit on it not in it - felt like a tourer after a 748/998 >Engine sounds like a vacuum cleaner >gear change is vague & sloppy >felt like there wasn't enough weight over the front >disappointing - had it for 1.5hrs brought it back after 30mins Very easy to ride but very unengaging & uninspiring Going to try an R1 & 675 next....:-) |

Mmmm, Rattler know's all about 675's, think reliability was his big problem;) Chris:burn: |
Mmmmmmmm Maybe just the R1 then! BTW Like your Chili rep - shame it's not a 998...:-p.....like mine Was yours a 748R - bet it handles - I reckon my 748sps handles better than my 998S But I need the extra power to make up the time I lose in the corners...:-) |

Yep, it's a 2000 748R and if it all comes together it should have a sigma 853 upgrade this winter:D so watch out ;) To be fair to the 675, Rattler was ragging the poor thing to death on the race track:devil: Chris:burn: |
853 - good mod - who's going to do it?? I was at Portimao with Tim in April so I understand!! |
so are you actually taking a bike on next years little trip? ;-) lol |
