Evolution Fireblade

This is owned by Dave, who bought my V-Max. This fella has awesome pair of bikes now and I can see why he was happy to let the 2000 model go.

1998 Honda Fireblade Evolution an official "special" built to celebrate Honda's 100th victory in the Isle of Man TT Races, the bike was introduced at the NEC motorcycle show in 1998, with a price starting from £22,325 depending on version.

 

The Evo CBR900 was a collaboration between ex Honda racer Mick Grant and Russell Savory of RS Performance, and sold through official Honda dealers by special order only, the Evo Blade design was by John Keogh and had a much more purposeful look with an exposed single-sided swing arm and two ram air scoops from fairing to a larger 22.5 litre capacity fuel tank a single seat unit was also fitted, while Keoghs design was different it still retained the unmistakable Blade profile.
