Out today for a blast, coffee, and tank of super. You'd be a long time getting bored of this thing. Stabbed rat 🐁

Wee blast down Slieve League direction on Saturday and a clean today (it wasn't even bad, just an excuse to polish some bits that I've never got to!) Looking alright for 17 year old I think.

Just a wee heads up... If anyone's thinking about getting themselves onto a 1000cc sports bike. I have seen round this in person and the condition is impressive. Pictures don't do it justice.

I'm not connected to the seller in any way.

I did see the Repsol aye. It looked like a decent bike too.

That red and black 07, I had seen it back in May when I was lifting mine. And I have never been able to get it out of my head since. It was that good!

The repsol is the only one that has evaded me, i was very tempted but it was a bit much for an 05, must have sold though.

Prices are all over the place, I sold my 2007 with 2000miles on it a few years ago for 5k, there was a full titanium Akrapovic, loads of Gillies parts and quite a few other tasteful mods. The 2004-2007 is probably still the best bike I have ever ridden

That Repsol was advertised on eBay, I had messaged the seller for a price, as I have a friend looking for a bike. He said £5k. But it was on gumtree for more than that after.

It sounds like someone got a good bike with your 07. I agree on prices being all over the show. Although personally I believe in paying that extra wee bit for the right bike. Especially if it has the bits done that you would do.

It's interesting that you say they are so good, didn't you just buy a nice S1000RR? Just totally different bikes?

Hey guys. That's my red and black blade for sale. Really is a stunning bike and am scundered having to sell it but needs must. I'm flexible on the price if anybody knows of a genuine buyer. 👍

Couldn't agree more, if you didn't have a fireblade and wanted a decent bike for litle money compared to a new bike I would be all over that 2007. Should hold their money really well too.

I honestly enjoy my fireblade as much as the S1000rr, the S1000rr is certainly quicker on paper, but in the real world I would be condifident that I could keep up with most things on the fireblade. Abs, flames and bangs swayed me 🤣
I’m unfollowing this thread before I buy a blade and get a divorce 🤣

You can keep it at my house and use it when ever you like. Just sell one of your push bikes, she will never know.
