This is my roadbike; a 2001 Fireblade. She's very fast and handles amazingly. I also have a 1980 Yam DT400M Trailbike. She threw me off last year and is the only bike to have damaged me in 36 years of riding.
A guy said to me some years ago " If you love fast bikes so much why not take up flying?" I told him I had a Pilots Licence. Yes, there is something about flying and biking.
