The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, going on to make over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The launch of the four-cylinder CB750 in 1969 ushered in the 'superbike' boom in the seventies and the arrival of the CBR900 Fireblade in 1992 set a new benchmark for sports bike performance. Now past its 30th Anniversary year, the very name 'Fireblade' still sets hearts racing.
This stunningly presented Fireblade was authentically restored by its previous owner keeping a fantastic degree of originality, who then kept it on display in his front room. The silencer end can is the original 'Sankie 2361' stamped item and the tyres are unused period correct Bridgestones. Bought by the vendor 3 years ago, he has kept it in a showroom with monthly cleaning and polishing to keep it in this stunning, ‘as new’ condition. The Fireblade is certainly a future classic and this bike would grace any collection of 1990s race replica superbikes. It is offered with some history including invoices, 2 keys and a current V5C.
