THANKS FIREBLADE!
What the mighty Honda gave us
A TRUE HONDA SPORTSTER
It might now sound unlikely but in 1992 Honda had forgotten how to do big sportsbikes, as the preceding CBR1000F proved.
A NEW DIRECTION FOR SUPERBIKES
For the first time lightweight was equally, if not more important than peak power. It took Yamaha six years to match it with the R1.
A GREAT NAME
Had it not been for a mistranslation from French to English from the Japanese, it would have been ‘Lightning’!
GREAT PAINTJOBS
The second gen Foxeye Blade saw the arrival of the Urban Tiger paintscheme. Arguably, it's never been bettered.
