Classic Hondas on display
By: Ben Wilkins
Honda UK will be displaying an example of each Honda Fireblade from the last 20 years and a replica of Hailwood's Honda RC174 'Six' at the Carole Nash MCN Motorcycle Show.
Honda's 1992 FireBlade.
A landmark 20th anniversary of Honda’s legendary Fireblade will be celebrated at the upcoming Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show, with examples of one of all 20 incarnations of the ‘game-changing’ sports bike being displayed on the Honda stand during the show at ExCel in London, February 2-5.
From the original 1992 CBR900RR, through to the first fuel injected machine at the turn of the century – the first 1000cc incarnation in 2004 and right up to the latest 2012 CBR1000RR machine – the Fireblade’s lineage will be proudly displayed on the Honda stand.
Also on display will be a replica of one of the most iconic race bikes in existence, the Honda ‘Six’ RC174. It was on this bike that Mike Hailwood took the 1967 350cc World Championship title, forever etching the legend into the history books.
