    Desperately seeking fireblade..... Hi all, I brought a 2015 abs model which arrived on Saturday but am returning it as it has too many faults. Rusty as hell, flappy faring, splits in seat, black overspray from someone trying to cover up the rust including on the faring, chain in the red on adjuster, front brake pulls to handlebar even on furthest reach. Dealer being ok about it but gutted as spent 2 days cleaning it lol!

    So now Im without a bike and have the loan in my bank. I'm looking for a 2014 or newer model with less than 12k on the clock and in very good condition. Mods are welcome but no insurance cat. Please message me

    What a nightmare! At least the dealer is playing ball.
    Good luck shopping. When i was looking there was a 2014 SP for sale at a reasonable price, but it was in Scotland.

    To be fair the dealer has been fine, just gutted really. At least having spent 2 days cleaning o have a good idea what to look for now. Those clips at the base of the front fairing are crap. Really should be help together better for an area of sucj high wind pressure. Most bikes seem miles away from me im Surrey at the mo.
