Conclusion - what gets stuck

Well, impressive, right? My country road performance isn't quite as dolle, but I still had a lot of fun. I wonder, however, how long a Fireblade can be steered without a driver's license being revoked. I would certainly be off my rag after a few days. In any case, driving slowly is not possible on the CBR, and with that we get to the point: Honda has designed everything for race track at the Fireblade and that it has done so well that there is little left for normal motorcycling.
 
With this machine only on country roads would be pearls in front of the sows. Although - still crazy fun! However, 95% of buyers will still be racers who regularly take your treasure to the racetrack. That's where she feels comfortable, that's where she belongs.
 
Test bike from Motofun Kaltenkirchen - thank you very much!
