Re: Return of the Urban Tiger Fireblade
The least they could do is pay me for the story the tight gits! lol
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Hmm
Sounds like Mr Honda isn't selling so many fireblades anymore IMO.

Re: Return of the Urban Tiger Fireblade
I'm not surprised, Cookie.
Its a 6 year old design so it wouldn't make any sense to buy a new one unless it was a bargain.
They are still very capable bikes no doubt but you can buy s/h ones for £5k now. The earlier 2008-1 bikes are better looking too.

Re: Return of the Urban Tiger Fireblade
Not that I'm a cynic you understand, but I think Duke hit the nail on the head, I've seen Ford, Vauxhall and Triumph all do the same thing, a fancy paint job and all the extras on special edition models have signalled them wringing the last sales out of a failing model. 
The new model is generally announced 6-18 months later.
Maybe the V4 is imminent.

Re: Return of the Urban Tiger Fireblade
Possibly, Yamaha are reported to be dabbling in triples as well.
