    Hi,

    I lusted after a Fireblade when Honda first unleashed them in 1992 but a young family at the time meant it was just a dream. I've had bikes most of my life, taken me and the wife round nearly every corner of Europe on our FJR1300 and have ridden enduros (badly ;) ) for the last 10 years. The old bones can't take any more of crashing off road and maintaining fitness is a never ending slog so time for a change. I picked up a low mileage 20th anniversary Fireblade at the weekend and have to say it was well worth the 22 year wait.

    Looking forward to learning how to ride a true thoroughbred :cool:
