If your looking to buy a cheap motorcycle then take a look at our Motorcycle Auctions for a great deal on all brands of motorcycles. Another site I like for car auctions sells cars at up to 80% off market value. Often buying things at these repo auctions can save you tons of money!

If your looking to extract some additional power out of your 2008 Fireblade one of the first things to consider would be a quality aftermarket exhaust system or slip on muffler. Used inconjunction with the correct engine mapping this is most often the most cost effective ways to unlock some addition HP. Not only that most systems look trick and bling is priceless right?

The major update to the Honda Fireblade has been with us for a while now, we have plenty of feedback on the 2008 fireblade so now it’s time to start looking at what might be changed on the 2009 Fireblade . Some of the teething issues outlined on the 08 model need to be sorted, there is nothing major on the cards other than some oil consumption issues being reported, some discolouration of the exhaust and some people are reporting paint quaily issues. These things should be simple to fix. The other ace Honda is holding is the new “brake by wire” technology that should be in place on the CBR600RR for 09. It remains to be seen if it will appear on the CBR1000RR, my guess is that we will be seeing the introduction of the ABS in 2010.

The Honda 900rr fireblade is where the Honda Fireblade story began over a decade ago. 1992 was the first year of production to be exact. A concept that aimed for more power and less weight & much better handling. Once again in 2008 Honda has raised the bar in both performance and handling, the 08 blade lives on in the true tradition.

AMCN ran their 600cc shootout this month and some surprising results were delivered, the Honda CBR600RR finished in 4th place, yes that is 4th place on both street and track!
1st Overall – Suzuki GSXR-600 2nd on track / 2nd on road
2nd Yamaha YZF-R6 1st on track 5th on road
3rd Triumph Daytona 675 3rd on track 1st on road
4th Honda CBR600RR – 4th on track 4th on road
5th Kawasaki ZX-6R 5th on track 5th on road
I guess this is why you can’t put much stock in magazine shootouts hey! Maybe they throw a dart at a board to determine the winners or maybe it is based on who has the biggest advertising budget for a given month – whatever! The modern 600cc machines are so close these days that they are all good value for money. Even a 3 or 4 year old 600 is still a great option. Check out what the riders are saying about the 600cc shootout results
