2003 Honda CBR900RR Fireblade review from Australia
"FIREBLADE, Burn up the streets and cut out the corners"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing at all.
General comments?
I can imagine what this bike can do, but I don't think I ever need to find out.
Very quick, excellent handling, awesome to ride.
Due to the excellent handling and braking of this bike, it gives you great confidence to ride.
Smooth power allows you to open the throttle without the bike wanting to lift at the front. However, when the bikes hits 6000rpm, hang on.
Powering out of corners with the revs up may also give you an unexpected surprise as the power comes on very quick.
In a nutshell, this is a great toy to own, a real head turner. Has the sound of a Formula 1 race car under the helmet.
Would not recommend for an inexperienced rider, best to spend a year or two on a mid sized sport before moving up to the real thing.
