The fireblade back in the early 90's was a light ,peaky,mentally fastmonster of a bikethat rocked all the big bikes at the time.It took years for the likes of yamaha to respond to the challenge,but respond they did in the shape of the R1,but the fireblade 900rr in the year 2000 is on the attack again,although this still can not quite top the R1 for speed,overall is a far better bike ,as even Yamaha have admitted the R1 is hard work to stop it flipping you on your back. If you want a mentally fast bike but you want to be comfortable that you are going to stay on it when you fly of those lights get the new blade. If you are a real nutter the R1 is yours.
