The gixxer looks horrendous. Really tacky.

The gsxr is definitely your ugly step-child.. like wtf even is it?!

Seems that this dealer is stating they have a price for the new fireblade.

That strikes me as quite expensive for the base model but I guess the proof will be in the riding of the bike.

I think I saw photos of race teams starting to receive the new bike.

Without the BREXIT TAX the SP would have been around 15K

You are not allowed to blame Brexit for anything. Apparently we have now taken back full control. Of a rudderless ship.

That's a walk-off.

No blame here, just observing a fact

The base model is more expensive than the zx10rr.

That's a shocking price hopefully dealer discounts will be available.

This dealer has changed his price as he had the SP listed at 15k the other day. I guess he is now uncertain so changed it to 100k until he can confirm a UK price.

Prices were announced yesterday.

No idea on UK stock at the moment.

I'll let you know more as soon as I hear anything else.

HondaUK have confirmed to me on Twitter that the prices for the Fireblade were released to dealers this week, so expect to start seeing a few follow in Dobles footsteps.

I've asked my mate for a pricelist, he's going to see what he can do and if he can let me have that info. However he did say he'll price match any offer you see on the new Blade, so if you do want one, let me know.

I've got a full price list for the 2017 Honda bikes if anyone wants a copy

The 2017 Blade is £15,225 OTR
The SP £19,125

The outgoing 2016 model is £12,199 for the black special 16YM and £12,799 for the eC-ABS - 16YM.

/faints.

It's a lot of money but thinking about it the price and spec is comparable to the R1 and R1M tbh.

It's biggest problem is the BMW I reckon.

I think your right Duke.

Which ever way you look at it nearly 20k is a lot for a bike.

Its a lot but if you think superbike sales are down they have to pay for manufacturing costs and development cost. If there not selling as many the price has to go up. Its seems a lot of money but people will buy them.

I guess to some people the more expensive it seems the more exclusive and desirable it seems.

And I agree with Rocket they will still sell well.

£23000 for a fireblade
