    Hi all.
    My name is Ben, I’m from sunny South Wales, and today I picked up my very first fireblade. It’s a 2009 in HRC colours, ASV levers and a Leo Vince GP PRO exhaust.
    Previous to this, I had a cbf 125, did my DAS and got on to a CBR600F. I kept that for 18 months, then traded in for a CBR600RR, which I kept for just over a year, and now here we are. I look forward to diving into the forum to find out all sorts of stuff, and hopefully, meet some new people along the way.
    Cheers!

    Hi and welcome, Ben.

    Timely entry with an HRC as the Blade world is slowly turning Black;). You'll love the bike, and best of all, having had the 600RR the learning curve will be very slight.

    Welcome. I also did the 600F route but had 2 of them and then went to a blade.

    Thanks guys!

    It’s ok, I’m not one for fashion and trends, so if the HRC turns into more of an odd one out, I’m all for it :D
