Formal introduction of my new bike: 2001 Fireblade Fighter

[byke95]

I've had it for a good few weeks but wanted to get used to it before I started talking about it, I was quite scared of it at first!

It's a 2001 CBR Fireblade that's been converted to a Streetfighter (or simply a crashed sports bike with the fairings removed, depending on your stand point).

It's 'bits and bobs' included a pearl black paint job (sparkles!), polished frame, powder coated black swinger, Pro-taper fat bars, Akrapovic stubby end can, acerbis Cyclops headlight, Biketek alloy quick release fuel cap, undertray, braided hoses and probably more that I haven't noticed. I think it's a looker and after riding a new Z1000 the blade wins hands down (and it's a fraction of the Zed's price tag). The up-right seating position and Pro-taper bars make it feel like a supermoto, but with up to 150bhp it's pretty, well, mad as a badger!

Plans for the future include a power commander, a set of aftermarket clocks (I miss the rev counter) and some bar end mirrors (all I can see is my elbows!).

Number board needs to be Black imo, but either way I still like it...

Also like the irony of the Keep Clear pic'...

icky poopy.

Looks awesome and done to a good standard but if it was mine I would -

Black Renthal Fatbars SERIOSULY raised for that agressive riding position and would look better IMO but the pro tapers are good too

Also buy a Acerbis DHH in all black, not keen on the cyclops thingy.

mmm I love streetfighters

Nice one, I recon you'll get pulled for that plate though.

That's a well sweet bike! What do you say to insurers when they ask about modifications? Does it cost a lot more/less than a standard blade to insure?

I think it looks pretty mint

Personally I dont like bikes without the front fairing / nose cone, when I took them off my VFR it felt relly weird and it sounds weird / gay but I felt a little less safe, not that bikes are completely safe anyway!

Anyways, hope you enjoy it!!!

Love it!! got a wicked look going on there!
unfortunately agree with "Dischord" , not too keen on the cyclops look.
