From: Kevin Gleeson on 7 Jun 2010 05:22 OK, having a discussion with a pom that works with me here in Sydney. He claims that there was a 600 that was badged as a Fireblade. I reckon it was just a nickname. I have never seen a CBR600RR badged as a Fireblade. Am I wrong? Or was it just a pom badging. I can't say I have ever seen one here that is badged as Fireblade. We've called 250RRs Babyblades, and I think they may have been badged lately as Fireblades, but it is hard to tell whether someone has just chucked a Fireblade sticker on. Google doesn't give me a definitive answer so what do I get from the FOAK on these groups? I've always considered a Fireblade a CBR900RR or CBR1000RR. -- Kev

In Australia the 250 was referred to as the Baby Blade and they did have the fireblade logo, though not sure whether that was applied in the factory or by 2nd hand dealers luring young males into paying four times the what would have been a reasonable price for the clapped out 250cc shitheaps.

The original late-80's CBR600F was called the Hurricane, and the contemporary CBR400, the NC23, piggybacked off that, but the CBR600F2 and on, right up to today, didn't have a name, just the model designation. |
