2020 Honda Fireblade | CBR1000RRRRRR

Bautista?
We'll see how good the electronics are...

 

Interesting how the secondary air, or whatever the proper term is, is bolted to the exhaust port and not the valve cover.

 

May as well put that shit back in the truck, so long as the Redding/Duc combo is on the grid.

 

sounds like you’re guaranteeing that Redding is going to win the championship this year?

 

There were a lot of folks saying the same thing about Bautista/Ducati until about round 6 last year.

 

He’ll be in his element.

If he or Chaz take it, I’d be happy. They both seem like cool dudes and I enjoy watching both of them ride. My biggest concern is others on the grid trying to win races on the first lap taking them out.

And....Bautista has already crashed it

 

Carpet on a bike lift?

 

Hey...he got 4 full laps in before testing the build quality.

 

5th in the wet. How bout Gerloff though? Boy is killin it.

 

I don't know and don't tell Honder but, I kinda like the look of it. Be a real interesting starting point if it doesn't repeat the Honder history of hype before adding tens or hundreds of thousands to make it competitive with a GSXR.

 

Journalist launch is next week, so we can try and filter through the usual proclamations of greatness for everything they ride then. At least until the RRW review is up to give us what we want to know.

Right because what you do when you can't give away a sport bike in the US market is update one and then double the price. That should help.

 

The ZX-10 KRT edition is $25k and the R1M is $26k so it sounds like they're in the ballpark for one of these race ready 200+ hp models.

 

How many of those are disappearing off showroom floors these days? When was the last time your heard a shop say "We just can't keep these in stock."?
