2001 Honda CBR929RR Fireblade 'Erion Racing'
Basic Specs
30,000km
929cc, fuel injected, 4 cyl
6 speed constant mesh manual
Rare 'Erion Racing' model
Mods
Micron end can (with the hard to describe 'rainbow' effect)
K&N panel filter
Double bubble windscreen
Ventura bag rack + bag
Bridgestone BT012SS tyres (190/120 front/rear, 17" rims)
Asking price: $14,500
This bike is absolutely awesome. It'll do over 130km/h in first gear, and will wheelstand off the throttle at illegal speeds in second. The brakes are phenomenal (twin 330mm discs with twin 4-pot callipers on the front) and the handling is exactly what you'd expect out of a FireBlade – excellent. It'll do 300km/h, too; I never made it that far though, I only got to about 260-270 before I ran out of track, but it was still pulling like a train. I've run an 11.209@129.43mph, with a lighter rider and a harder launch it will easily run in the tens. It's no Hayabusa, but I believe it's a better package.
Despite being bucketloads of fun on the track, it's also a great road bike – that is, after all, the main reason I bought it in the first place. I regularly ride it from Ipswich to Toowoomba, and get off feeling much the same as when I got on, just a bit colder from the chilly Toowoomba climate :) Most of the km's on the bike were on the highway, not in heavy city traffic. It is always garaged.
It's been serviced every 5,000km by Honda. I was absolutely meticulous with this – it never went over the 5,000km mark without a proper log book service. Possibly over the top, but you know that the bike is in perfect mechanical condition. It's recently had its 25,000km service (shim adjustment).
I love the bike and really wish I could keep it. I'm upgrading my car and can't afford to keep the bike as well, so I very reluctantly offer it for sale. Those who know me can no doubt vouch for how difficult a decision this was.
I'm in Ipswich/Brisbane on weekends and in Toowoomba during the week. If you're a serious buyer, I can be contacted on <removed>, or by email at <removed>. The nature of my work means that I'm sometimes out of mobile phone range, so if you can't get me just leave a message with your contact details and I'll get back to you. And in case you're wondering, no, that's not my bike in my avatar…
Edit: Can a mod move this to the 'bikes for sale' section? Had a brain fart...
