Every so often a model comes along that rewrites the rulebook for sports motorcycles, one of the most influential of modern times being Honda’s Fireblade. Launched in 1992, the Fireblade blew away the opposition – principally Yamaha’s FZR1000 and Suzuki’s GSX-R1100 - with its combination of litre-bike performance and a 600-sized package. Superbly styled and evocatively titled, it was recognised as a future classic almost immediately and early and unmolested examples command high prices today. Progressively developed, the Blade has occasionally fallen behind the opposition, but today’s version is back at the top of the tree, being recognised as one of the most rider-friendly of current hyper-sports roadsters. This pristine example has had only one previous owner and covered a mere 10,000-or-so miles from new. The machine is remarkably standard, even down to the stock silencer, the fitting of a carbon-fibre rear hugger and Datatool alarm being the only modifications notified (the original Honda chainguard comes with the bike). Supplied by Honda main agents Jeff Hall (Motorcycles) Ltd, of Sheffield, ‘R712 TKY’ comes with complete service history consisting of the service booklet and sundry invoices, the most recent of which (dated August 2001 at 10,444 miles) is for a service plus new chain, sprockets and rear tyre. Last MoT’d to August 2002, the machine is offered with its original handbooks and Swansea V5 registration document.
