Urban Tiger

I have been looking for one of these for such a long loooong-time, its been hard to find a clean and low mileage one. eventually spotted one on the autotrader website phoned guy up and I and my mate Wullie travelled 300 miles to purchase.





Some info on this bike


Honda FireBlade RR-S. this is a 1995 model on an M registration

bike has came bog standard apart from a grab-rail and a alarm/immobiliser

weight - 185kg
power - 120bhp
top speed - 160+
0-60 - quick
mpg - FireBlades are reputed to be one of the most economical sportsbikes around the 40 mpg

This particular model (urban tiger) is generally classed as "the Fireblade"
with the best paint job to ever come out of Japan

Although this bike is 12 years old now, there are many newer bikes that are faster and better handling but to me and many others this bike will be more than enough for fast road use, touring, weekends away and just generally jumping around.

Update

Quicky update before I head off to work.

May 28th got taken on by my employer fulltime. Yipee!!!! better than I could have hoped the position I was given was more than a 50% increase in wages Yipee x 2. Part of the increase is due to a continental shift pattern.

With a bit of regret I have gave up on the Kleeneze opertunity, i still believe its a valid method (network marketing) for the common man to increase not only his wealth but also makes him aware of a lot of disciplines such as self-motivation, goal setting, and probably most important an understanding of his fellow man.

Actively putting an end to this part of my life was hard, but striking a balance between work, free-time and income enables me to enjoy my free-time without the added stress of my Kleeneze commitments.
