Description
1998 Anniversary CBR900SE Fireblade number 14 of 50 created on behalf of Honda UK, by Russell Savory, to mark the 50 years of Honda's motorcycle manufacture.
These 50 Fireblades were assembled along with 50 each of VTR1000SE, CBR600SE, and VFR800SE, all being introduced at the 1998 'Ally Pally' Road Race and Superbike Show.
The CBR900SE was enhanced by components as below
Carbon rear hugger
Akropovic exhaust
Proflex rear shock
Harris adjustable rear sets
Ohlins steering damper
Full carbon fibre kit
Megacycle camshafts
Dynojet kit
Carbon yoke cover
Carbon fuel filler cap
Carbon instrument facia
Stunning Red, Gold, White and Grey , John Keogh design paint
Limited edition indoor cover, and up to two Paddock jackets
I added the official Honda carbon tank protector, and Afam Gold O-ring chain
I took ownership of this machine in September 2001, and have to admit, have not used it as much as some would. I have recently recommissioned and MOT'd it for use, including new Bridgestone S21's, oils, filters, and fluids. New NGK IX plugs, so it wants for nothing for the next owner to enjoy.
If you are looking for one of these machines, you will be hard pushed to find better, and with only 10800 miles covered to date, there should be much use ahead.
I kept previous service history including original sales invoice from C J Ball, Norwich.
I also will include two paddock jackets, (one armoured), and two indoor covers, ( one sourced from a supply within a current owners group, dedicated to these Anniversary Motorcycles )
I have priced the bike to sell, and invite any enquiries from genuine interest.
The bike is located near Reigate in Surrey. This machine, being one of a limited edition, stands out amongst Fireblades of the 90's. It was thoughtfully designed by Russell Savory, Dave Hancock, and Mick Grant. The Special Edition paintwork was designed by John Keogh, and complimented by the carbon fibre over various parts of the bike looks stunning. The gold 50th Anniversary graphics round off a truly remarkable design. I used the bike only ever in good weather, as I wanted to preserve the uniqueness of this bike. When it was used, it certainly lived up to the reputation of the Fireblade, this machine is certainly a very capable machine. I would advise viewing to appreciate the condition of this bike.
