    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

    The front brake pulling to the bar is probably the faulty abs. There's loads of info on here on the dire system that's on the 11 to 16 blades. If I were you I'd look for a non abs

    You may have dodged a bullet there, as above probably best looking for non abs.

    Got this but it's a 2013...

    Thousands spent on mods, Factory Ti Akra full system, brembo M4/corsa corta setup, Ktech pro rear shock, translogic qs etc

    TT legends edition with Mcguiness signed cowl plus SP cowl as seen below.

    Lovely bike mate but too advanced for me would be wasted.

    No worries. Good luck with the search! Always a few blades about so shouldn't be too hard to find a decent one.

    I sold my 2014RRE HRC colours, to a dealer in June, just noticed they still have it for sale, It’s done 14K, but I owned it from new and know everything about it, and it ain’t a shitty ABS model either, if your interested and want any info then PM me.
