When I first saw the Fireblade back in 2004 I had a secret jurning for one. It was the only other bike I would want to own if I was not riding a Duke.

Mood: Lurkin'.....
The bike that most impressed me when it came out was the FZR1000 Genesis.There was a magazine road test versus a Lambo Countach at the time which blew me away.


I had a black and red 'un.I remember the day I picked it up from Wheels International,.....just blipping the throttle in the car park filled me with fear.It had loads more power than my then FZ750.I got soon got used to it tho!
The bike was a rocket ship and saw off many a GSXR 11,ZX10 and CBR thou at the time.
I later swapped it for the new EXUP version,.....a mistake.The EXUP was a great bike,but it just did'nt have the raw feel of the older model.

Darn it, got to agree with you, that was one mean stroker if you could ever get one to run right.

Was having a look at a couple on fleabay only the other day but bought another boat instead.

My RG feels like a pussycat around town after the 888 though the power band is a just a tiny bit sharper :-) If you jet them slightly lean they run nice and crisp on the road but go bang if held on full throttle for too long. I'm hoping to get to Cadwell for both days this year and will bring the RG to play with as well.

Yeah 916 for sure, but in Skid's words "the first" It's got to be the Suzuki Katana

The 1975 RG is just the dogs and this month featured in 'Bike'.

The bike that caught my atention for Ducati's was in 1990, the 888 but could not afford one as just got married and bought my first house. Still can't afford one.
