Honda Fireblade ride out with Shakey Byrne and John McGuinness. BSB champion Shakey Byrne and Isle of Man TT legend John McGuinness go for a road ride out on the new 30th anniversary Blade next to the 1992 original, then take us for a private tour around Honda UK Racing's HQ in Louth, Lincolnshire.
30 years ago the Honda Fireblade was launched, and spawned one of the most recognised model names and respected competition bikes of recent time. The Fireblade was the 'It' Superbike of the 1990s, and has continued to evolve over the last three decades.
The planets aligned for this film, and we managed to get Fireblade Isle Of Man TT top gun veteran John McGuinness along for a day out road riding, and a VIP tour of Honda Racing UK's HQ in Louth. He and Shakey had a hoot as they leered over some of the race winning machinery in the foyet, then take us for a close look at the mechanic workshops, immaculate assembly rooms and bursting trophy cabinets.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.

@tonykeast9966 Жыл бұрын

That was great. Know both bikes well. The 2020 version with the overly long gearing, before Honda thankfully changed the ratios, does just over 120mph in 1st gear. That's over 15mph more than all the competition. Crazy. Crazier still is where it hits the magic 186mph/300kph... the stock overgeared SC82 model sees the speedo freeze at 186 flat out in FOURTH. So it's anybody's guess what the actual Vmax is 2 gears later. It didn't quite redline in top. A. Real. Weapon! The old one still rocks, best thing is the boot space under the rear seat! Enough room for 4 sideways cans of stella or a Chinese takeaway, if you crush the prawn crackers a bit.

The relaxed natural presentor style that Shakey has is incredible when you consider how new he is to this. Each episode he becomes more engaging and you can see it rubs off on any guest he has with him. I am not a bike guy but I find these Byrne Out episodes riveting and cannot wait for the next one. Jonny, any chance you can persuade Harry to let Shakey at the Dakar collection? I think it would make some great TV to see the pair of them blasting around the farm with their mutual enthusiasm for bikes feeding off of each other

Great episode. We organised the 30th anniversary celebrations at Donington for Honda UK with our members bringing 1992-2022 blades and lined up in order. The 2022 blade was certainly quick in the hands of John McGuiness that day.

This was great. Reminds me of days when me and some lads would go for a ride just for fun. No sat navs or fancy this that or the other. Just jump on, run some twisty roads, grab a cuppa and a sandwich and come back again. Also great to see you Shakey back on a bike again. It's been four years in the waiting. A decent honest video lads. Thanks..

Absolutely loved this episode of the Byrne Out! Shakey, John, bookend Honda Fireblades, racing stories, bike reviews and a very noble camera smash( for its first, last and only use it definitely went out on an epic ride)! What a fantastically packed episode! I would say, get these two to do live commentary of the TT when John finally retires from active racing. They could be the Phill Ligget and Paul Scherwin of Motorcycle racing.

After maxing the baby blade on German autobahns and failing to keep up with a V4S ducati I am looking forward to more power and some track days in the future! Keep up to great content 👍

I had an original '92 Fireblade. Still the fastest thing that I have ever driven. I can't imagine what the modern one would be like, the old one was as quick as I ever wanted.

@welditmick Жыл бұрын

As a 'road bike' the old one is in my opinion the better bike.(17inch front conversion) If you only rode the new ones up to the same rev limit as the old ones you would see why. As you know, you have to 'ride' them, no gizmos like todays stuff. I still have a 96 and sold a 16 blade last year. Yes all the newer stuff is quicker, but for everyday use - No thanks.
