Fireblade Replica by John McGuinness
The Honda Fireblade is a legendary motorcycle. John McGuinness MBE is a legendary racer. Together at the Isle of Man TT, over the years they have created absolute road racing magic.
And, to celebrate John’s 100th TT starting earlier this year – and in the Fireblade’s 30th anniversary year – Honda UK will unite the two forever by making just 30 CBR1000RR-Rs Fireblade SP 100th Replication by John McGuinness.
John McGuinness
“The stars arranged for me to return to the Honda Fireblade for my 100th TT start. It’s a great bike and has meant a lot to me throughout my career. And, if I think about it, with so many other riders over the last 30 years. I am proud of my connection to its place in TT history and of this, my copy.
“There is no event like the Isle of Man TT in the world and this motorcycle celebrates Honda, and my part, racing in it. It feels so good. Really well.“
The John McGuinness 100th Start Fireblade gets a full replica repaint, incorporating Gold detailing and strips (showing all John’s TT starting lines on a Honda and the 100th sponsor logo) and Gold wheel stripes.
John’s signature will appear on the airbox lid, and each will display an individually numbered plaque on the dock of each specially customized 30th Anniversary Fireblade.
Genuine Honda Accessories carbon fiber front fender (only 255g, 38% lighter than stock) and 10% lighter carbon fiber rear fender, plus rear seat covers and screens high are equipped.
Metzeler Racetec RR tires will be fitted – stock tires will also be provided.
