That’s very kind, many thanks. How does the RR-R compare?

@@headrace4863 The RR-R 2023 has the same engine as the RR but is factory tuned to be faster apparently and let me tell You the RR is already too fast for me not sure who could want anything faster unless You plan on racing baghtis every day.

@@amazingvideo2869 The RR-R motor is quite different from the RR. It has the same bore and stroke as the RC213 GP bike, the changes from the RR are extensive.

Many thanks. More coming on the ‘blade very soon. 👍

@@headrace4863 all ready subscribed. Look forward to it.

Many thanks. The 06/07 are still SC57 models, with only minor bodywork etc changes, with abs optional following the model code. Yep, absolutely correct and thanks for the info, agreed. 👍

@@davapod many thanks… it was what made me chose this one over a couple I looked at. Hideously expensive system when new… hence very very rare. Sounds just unbelievable and featherweight compared to the standard system. The bike was weighed at exactly 200kg kerb just last week. 👍

@@headrace4863 You are a lucky fellow indeed. Back in the early 2000's I had a 954 that covered 21000 trouble free miles before lack of cash forced me to sell it. To this day is one of my favorite bikes. Recently I have been looking fireblade's from this era circa 2004 to 2007, before the blunt faced model came out, and your example is the kind of fab unmolested machine I'm looking for.

Many thanks… yep, they’re quite rare the duel motogp arrow systems. Horrendously expensive, the previous owner really really looked after this one. It’s a bit of a find this ‘blade. More coming on this very soon. Thanks again.

Many thanks, much appreciated. Sure is a nice example, true. The Arrow system is quite a piece of engineering, and the quality is reflected in the price for them. Thanks again. 👍

…awesome ‘bike the 600. Most welcome back to the uk market for ‘24. Enjoy! 👍👍

Much appreciated, Rick. Yeah it’s a healtech gear indicator. They’re a very good aftermarket addition, perhaps not to my taste though. Glad you enjoyed the video, more coming soon.

@@kentucky_brew3678 good question that… I’m 6.1” and about 90kg. By about the 2 hour mark, it’s time to get off for a leg stretch. Full tank is about 130 miles range, which is just about right. Once you’re back aboard then after about an hour it’s time for a break again. 2 up, like any sports bike, it’s very cramped. 👍

Are they not ulez compliant? I haven’t checked to be honest as I don’t ride in london.

@@headrace4863 I think 07 is but 06 and before definitely not.

@@sciencefact interesting… 👍

Yep, quite correct you are. Just checked. Thanks 👍👍

Get a certificate of conformity from Honda 😉🫡 these definitely meet ULEZ. They were just idiots and did it off the year & euro standard not the actual emissions

Yep, nice bit of road that one isn’t it. lol. Usually brands, Silverstone or Donnington.

And rightly so, stunning looking machine the repsol. Enjoy! 👍👍

Hi there. Yep, both 929 and 954. Probably the best balanced road/sports bike I’ve ever ridden. The RR4 onwards (like this RR5) are a very different machine and not quite as aimed at the road. If you have a 954, keep it. They’re awesome.👍

Hi there, good to hear from you. 👍 It was located just a few miles away in Bournemouth. I was making some sneaky-beaky investigations when working on a deal with Ducati, and one thing led to another. Bit of a lucky find, wasn’t it. As you’d expect for a 14k mile Honda, it rides like it was just un-crated. 👍👍

@@danielbbg6199 quite normal for them to run at 103-105c when in traffic. The fan will run nearly all the time in town. The radiator is huge but ultimately needs airflow to cool. Normal running temp is 85-90c. 👍

@@headrace4863 thanks man, im a little worried, i only have dirtbike experience, so im used to agressive bikes, got the fireblade as 1st street bike (im chill with the throttle dw), and it just runs so hot, it reached 113*C at one time, it was at idle for a bit longer than supposed to, and idk what i should check for, because it feels anormal, the fan couldnt keep it at a stable temperature, thinking about selling/trading it for a watercooled bike, i mostly ride city/chill routes, with ocasional speeding, so idk if its the best fit for me. (P.S. thing is an absolute beast, and in very good condition for its age)

Colour code is R258H, some refer to it has the HRC colours 👍

Gp replica system… 4 into 2 titanium Arrow system. 👍

…fair comment. 👍 I save the quicker stuff for track days.
