Hello Everyone, The time has come for me to pass on my lovely 2009 HRC Fireblade, which is NOT an oil burner, at 16,500 miles. MOT and Tax to February 2014. I don't ride the bike the way she deserves, so she has to go to a better home. It is a better bike now than when I bought it, it really is superb. I am sad to even think about selling it, I thought I'd have it forever, but circumstances change and I am migrating. I am in London, and buyer will collect. Price is now £5,499. As I am advertising elsewhere... I bought the bike from Doble's and I got it serviced there at 12,000 miles. FHSH up to that service. 2 keys, 2 alarm fobs, lots of documentation (ALL) MOT's service notes, etc. I changed the oil at 14,000 miles, and I cleaned the calipers and replaced pads in May 2013. (I am a certified Level 2 mechanic) I have never taken it on track (I really wanted to, but shit happens...) Valve clearance check and full service performed by Arthurbikemad at 16,377 miles - No shimming required, nothing to note, all fluids replaced, calipers serviced, intake ports cleaned like new. Photographic evidence available. The bike is in great condition, looks beautiful, and rides perfectly. Bearings all good, chain and sprockets are good. Tyres on it now are Pilot Road 3 on front, bought new early this year due to puncture from riding through London, Power Pure on rear, because it's awesome and I am using it up. I have some tasteful accessories added over time, as below, all standard parts included. Scorpion exhaust (road legal with Cat, so it is not TOO loud without baffle, and sounds lovely) Carbon exhaust infill panel Power Commander 3 installed at 16,377 miles, I don't ride very fast, so can't comment about overall power, but it runs smooth and is nice and responsive especially with the cleaned inlets. K&N filter installed with PC3. HRC dark high screen HRC Rear Hugger HRC Rear Seat Cowl Honda E-seat (comfy seat) R&G Tail Tidy R&G Protection - - Aero bobbins, white - Fork Sliders - Bar ends - Radiator guard - Swingarm bobbins GB Racing Engine case protection (I installed these myself, so I know the engine is perfect, no scratches) ASV full length black levers Gilles Gear Shift Shaft Support GI Pro Gear indicator, white Tech Spec C3 tank grips (removable) MotoBatt battery (higher cold cranking amps) Standard parts included - rear seat, exhaust, levers, windscreen, I have Sato street hooks that I never installed as well. Arthur told me that I have a quick action throttle. I have no evidence of this... CONS - The rear tyre is getting on a bit, will leave choice to buyer, price reflects this. The front mudguard has a crack from a disc lock accident. Not noticeable. Price reflects this. I will take a close picture tomorrow in the sun to detail it. Here are pics of the cracked mudguard... Can hardly see it point blank... I think that's everything... Thanks for reading. Any questions welcome.
Mine still for sale... Sensible offers anyone?? If not I am pretty much ready to strip off the parts and bend over and let the dealer rape me for £5k. I'd rather give it away cheap to a private sale than give the dealer, come on!!! Spread the word!!!
Yeah that's why I've pulled mine mate, not going to let a dealer pull my pants down, so it's staying, good luck with the sale. Atb Jase.
