    Oops, I'm a newby to all things CBR. I've just bought a 2011 bike in these colours. I thort they only did them for the one year. Following your link, it looks to be 'Pearl Spencer Blue'. Was hopeing this might match:- Genuine Honda cbr 1000rr fireblade seat cowl | eBay Hey-Ho!
    Cheers, Nick.

    Cheers ladz. That pic's 12 months old btw. Since then I've met my 19 year old gurlfrend, Mandy (got to luv a gal whose parents named her after a 70s recreational pill) and we're planning on getting married this summer. TBH, some of my mates are a bit concerned about the age difference between us and the consequent health risk but you know what; I say f**k-it! If she dies, she dies. :D

    He might still be able to get his leg over a Blade but his 'little man's' days are long gone! ;)
