Re: My Honda CBR 1000RR Fireblade (Repsol Edition)

Blade parts ways, for now. Hopefully, it will return one day, as it’s always stayed close to my heart.

I decided to part ways with my Fireblade after a close friend expressed interest in buying it. For some time, I’d been thinking about getting a new bike, and I finally made the decision last month. With my head leaning toward the ZX10R and my heart set on the S1000RR, I ultimately decided to stick with a Japanese bike for yet another round.

Some pics from her last day with me.

Here are some pictures of the ZX10R from delivery day, along with a few recent images.

One great thing about having a buddy buy your ride is that you get to see it and ride it whenever you want. Now I can ride both the Blade and the Ninja. Not bad, huh?

Ending with an image from Today's ride. 10R completed a little over 3k kms in a month. More to come

Congrats Congrats Congrats!! The 10R fit like a glove on you! Knowing how much you have loved the 10R for years this is a prophecy coming true!

And the blade is always just a stone throws away. Makes things sweeter!

Happy to see you still retaining the Japanese Visa Ivin. Hearty congratulations and hope to see another thread of experiences and funda. Wish you safe and happy riding, once again. Why you both never visit Ooty, is out of my firmament though.

Cheers!

You kept it well and glad to hear that the new owner is within your own circle, that is the best parting gift you can give to your bike!!

Congratulations on the 10R easily one of the best VFM litre class in the market. Hoping to see her in flesh soon, I am sure a thread on it is already underway, looking forward to reading all about it.

Ride Safe!!

Congrats on the 10R bro!!

It seems both of our biker brains think quite alike!!
First the CBR650 and now the 10R.

Honestly, I am genuinely surprised on how much I am liking the 10R. Eagerly waiting for your ownership thread!!

Wishing you many Happy Miles!!

CHEERS!!

Many many Congratulations!!

It seems Japanese power delivery is so addictive to you that it’s ZX10R now.
I can understand that S1000RR is quite different in feel than ZX10R. I am not sure if the power delivery of S1000RR played some role in your decision for ZX10R or something else.
Wish you thousands of safe and smiling miles.
