1992 Honda CBR900RR 'FireBlade'
Registration no. J696 UAV
Frame no. SC28-2003684
Engine no. SC28E-2003853

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. Designed by Tadeo Baba and 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 delivered by 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 over the last 40-plus years, the Blade has occasionally fallen behind the opposition but today's version is back at the top of the tree, as evidenced by Honda GB works rider Tommy Bridewell's overall victory in the 2023 British Superbike Championship.

Offered here is a stunning example of the original and much sought-after 1992 twin-headlamp Honda CBR900RR FireBlade, finished in the rare Black and Grey colour scheme. The Honda was purchased from its original owner by the private vendor in 2013 (receipt on file) but no previous history is known. Stored since acquisition, the machine will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Accompanying documentation includes the service booklet (two stamps); an owner's manual; Datatag paperwork; a V5C Registration Certificate; copy old V5C; a range brochure and magazine; and three expired MoT's (the last MoT in 2012 records the mileage as 32,229 while the current mileage is 33,175, so very few miles covered since that MoT). The FireBlade also comes with a selection of spares including new front fairing decals, bike cover and rear shock absorber.
