  • @wakajawaka44
    @wakajawaka44 Před 3 měsíci +4

    Only the SP version available in the UK? There was a time when bikers could afford a Fireblade. What did Ducati say a few weeks ago. “If you want a Ferrari you have to pay Ferrari prices”!!! Great review Michael, your enthusiasm for this new Blade shone through and made me want it even more! But I guess on reflection many bikes when fully specced command similar prices to the Fireblade SP these days.

    • @paulbarclay4114
      @paulbarclay4114 Před 14 dny +1

      difference is if you buy a "ferrari" or a ducati, the real cost is hidden-its the long term ownership, and the maintenance costs far surpass the original costs of ownership
      the honda the price is up front, with no long term costs except oil changes. no maintenance. no breakdowns. no issues whatsoever.

    Honda need to go too a V4! They’re running back of the pack in WSBK, and they’re not even on the grid in domestic championships outside BSB. MotoAmerica or ASBK. Soichiro Honda would be shamed of the current state of Honda racing.

    Nice detailed review, thank you. Clearly some very extensive development with some cool new features like the split throttle bodies. Nice to finally see adjustable options for ABS settings added too.
    One thing not mentioned that has me curious, what's with Honda's unwavering reluctance to equip their top tier track focused bike with braided brake lines?
    Surely it's not a cost cutting measure. Given the price of the bike, the difference in cost to equip at factory is an insignificant percentage. Likewise the idea the bike is aimed at racing and most bikes will have the ABS removed etc. seems an unreasonable justification given all the other bits clearly aimed at the consumer level, such as revised ergos and electronic suspension.
