I have very fond memories of the '96 Honda Fireblade in the Urban Tiger colour scheme. My old man had one when they were new, and despite the fact it went like a missile, it was very comfy on the back

Finally arrived. A great fun bike. Outstanding engine.

Funny thing 50 feels like a 100 and quite the reverse with the VF-R.

1st none honda bike...

I love this line of bikes soooooo much !

why did u choose the 9 out of the range?

That 3 cylinder engine is a gem. 115hp for a 850cc might not be all that special nowadays but the torque is world class.
And it only weights 190 kg. Ideal for those French b roads.

Did you try the 7 ?

I love the 7 but i haven’t tried a 9

Briefly, maybe i'll buy one for the wife, but for me from the onser it was that 3 cyl. engine i wanted.

I keep pondering an MT with an Akra

Totally unneccesary for my commute mind but i think i'd get a 7 as i love light bikes. Need to do a year on this CRF and see where things are.

And need to edge it past the missus
