Good Points
Very fast, easy to ride, comfy, sounds great, reliable, handle's like a dream and turns a lot of heads.

Bad Points
Expensive to insure (group 17) and the police love to stop you and check the bike out.

General Comments
I have been riding bikes since I was 17 and I am now 28 years old. I have owned a number of bikes over the years (all sports bike) and the Honda CBR900RR has to be my best yet. I bought it because I dreamd of having one as a kid and when I jumped on it for the first time I was not disappointed. The bike is the 918cc model in black with silver and grey decals and when I go out it turns a lot of heads. The bike is totaly standard apart from an aftermarket end can. The Fireblade is a great all rounder, it is just as good for running to work on through town as it is at tearing up country lanes. When out with my friends it corners as good as the 600's and keeps up with the bigger bikes on the straights (showing just over 170mph on the clock). The build quality is 5 star as you would expect from a Honda and it always starts first time with no problems + it is quite cheap to service. The bad things about the bike is that the insurance is pricey and it seems to eat rear tyres but once you ride it you don't want to get off.
