Looks like the fireblade will be remaining unchanged next season with perhaps a slight alteration in the livery. I have it from a good reliable source that will also be another batch of sps in the Marquez livery.. Now that would be a machine .. V4 expected early 2016
i'd bet a handsome sum a blade wont be a v4! never will.... that is what the RC 30 / 45 / rcv they have been talking about will be saved for. At this rate i'd of paid of my mortgage before this rumour comes to life....
why would they update now with the SP doing well? be no shock if they bought a repsol version next year as they alternate anyway. and surely it's time to have a replica in the current livery - bit silly in old colours now?? get as much money back on the R&D as possible before changing in 2016 if they do at all..... but wont be a v4 imho. Honda are traditionalists and the blade will always be an IL4.
Can't see a v4 myself either. Inline 4 for me. Marquez rep sp next year i reakon.. They won't change if whilst everyone's buying it. Only people that seem to want a chsnge in current design are current owners. It's not stopping new customers buying them so guess the sales figures matter. More of a case of getting new customers than satisfying old and current ones I guess. Only my thoughts tho
Well that's my mind made up then as I was going to change my 12 plate for a 14 model, but I will not bother now. Might as well keep it seeing as it's done 14000 miles on it now.
That's pretty good timing jay.. Will we both be on aprc factory's by then? Keep finding my self looking at them and reading about reliability.. Inthink they are going in the right direction so could be my mevt purchase.. You posting pics all the time isn't helping ha
