    I've just put the deposit down for my first Fireblade, 2017 model IMG_20180531_221349_917.jpg
    Going from a ZX6R, really excited about the jump!

    Have a 5 week wait as it's getting a Repsol makeover by Dream Machine.

    Be ready for daft questions from an excited biker!

    Welcome DaveR, and congrats on the new bike. Will be agony waiting five weeks. (For us it's one Repsol less, but hey, that's okay:):))

    Seriously though, if yours will look like the pic, that is most impressive. The 2017 - 18 is a truly great machine. Is the colour you purchased it in Matte Black? Just wondering because there seems to be a few 2017 still unsold?

    As a tip, perhaps get a tail tidy fitted at the same time. Improves it 100%!

    Hi and welcome......I can feel your excitement!!

    What colour was the bike originally and how much for the dream machine paint job? I fancy a red bull version......maybe my next bike! ;)

    To be honest I don't know! I saw the bike advertised (Repsol) and enquired and then they said it's be sent off for paint job.

    It's all rolled in with the finance...
    Could have done a Rossi Replica but I love the Repsol Scheme... RossiRep1.jpg
