    Hi Folks,

    Joined up back in 2014 a year after getting my test with the intention of trading my cbr600rr in for a big boy bike but never did.

    Recently bought a new Fireblade SP so let the modding commence lol

    Will be keeping the 600 for the track days! :)

    Welcome back mate, have a look at Evo Tech, in my opinion better quality than the R&G stuff :)

    Why does this SP have a blue front but no grey?

    That is a 2017 model. 2017s have blue 'Honda' on belly pan and 2018s have red. There is no grey on any of the SPs.

    The SP has a darker 'flat' blue with the white accent.

    The SP2 has a lighter 'carbon looking' blue with a white and gold accent.

    Just to let folks know I will be putting all mods up for sale from my bike if anyone is interested.

    Unfortunately, I have lost heart in the road riding after losing a close friend on a early morning Sunday run 2 months ago.

    Plan to stick to track days with the 600rr but may move up again to the blade when I get bored.

    So let me know if anyone is interested

    Thanks
    Alanlee

    Sorry to hear Alan. Been in a few close calls myself, nothing that couldn’t be replaced or repaired. Also witnessed the aftermath of several fatal crash sites, it certainly makes you realise how easily and quickly things can go wrong. Hope you get your parts sold.
