    Honda have made halo bikes in the past - RC30, NR750 with serious price tags. The Fireblade has always been the everyman sportsbike with an everyman price tag. They really should of made a RCV or something for taking on the WSB etc challenge and let its tech filter down to the Fireblade imho.

    Production value so good. That intro is mint. Can't wait til the mega test. I think the most major sticking point for the consumer that's going to ride these to the local cafe is the price, power band and looks. For the racers with sponsors or deep pockets looking to step on the box, not an issue. But that 2 stroke esque power band maybe horrendous on the road and tough to justify spending that kinda dough. It also just doesn't look premium from a design standpoint which is probably why you guys didn't mention how it looks, it aint sexy. But when they hit the used market....

    You get the feeling Honda wants more Isle of Man and WSBK trophies...
    Can't wait to see this in full race-spec and being canned by the best riders in the world.

    Interesting, and it's good to see Honda competitive even if they are now more expensive than their competition. Race reps interest me less and less now though as a pure road rider. It used to be that the appeal of the larger capacity sports bikes was the extra size/comfort and low/mid range grunt.

    Wow, Good job Honda! Been reading in magazines for years that the Fireblade was always the "just not" bike to have.
