Martin, DJ will never be forgotten, he was an absolute lovely human being ,remembered by all especially for what he achieved in the IOM , he was as famous as his dad Tony.
I had two 92 fireblades over the years. I rode one to work Jan 1st 00 at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="330">5:30</a>am I was flat out down the A120 going to Stansted Airport. As there were no aircraft movements until lunchtime, due to millenium bug fears, I think I was probably the fastest thing going for the first 12 hours of this millenium.
The passion can be heard in every single word of these men. Not a Honda rider, but if I were to be introduced into motorcycles and had no idea about them, the passion alone would have sold Honda to me.
The Fireblade as usual Wonderful, but... I hope for a future a RVF 1000 R, with layout, typical of the glorious prototypes of Honda: V4, single arm and air intakes naca. I think he would be happy too Mc Pint ! ;)
I am the original owner of my 92. It is all original and has a very low serial number. I have read it was hand built as an early production model. The bike has always been a blast to ride but it now is 75 hp down on a new litre bike. Sorry John mine is the iconic tiger stripe.
Surprised to see JM involved in this given how Honda treated him after his smash. They wouldn't even let him keep the Africa Twin. Also funny to note JM talking at approx <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="600">10:00</a> about how having to go faster required the technology. It was the Honda technology which spat him AND Guy off their bikes.
how you not going to have a 954 there? the 954 was the LAST short wheel-based/light fireblade made... thing was a 600 with 1000 power! i remember people stunted them because they were SO EASY TO WHEELIE.
