Honda celebrates 20 years of Blade
Honda will celebrate 20 years of the Fireblade at the Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show, with a showcase of pristine models from every year of the bike’s manufacture.
The “evolution” of the Fireblade will take pride of place on the Honda stand at the ExCeL from Feb 2-5, alongside the entire 2012 Honda range. That will include the NC700X, as well as the V4-engined Crosstourer.
Honda will also be bringing along one of its legendary six-cylinder 250cc GP bikes from the 1960s, which will be started up every day so show-goers can experience one of the most evocative sounds in racing history.
For the kids, Honda is bringing its My First Licence riding area to the London show for the first time after fully-booked session at Motorcycle Live back in November, so 5- to 11-year-olds can have a supervised go on Honda CRF mini-bikes. There’s also a Honda cafe, so you can refuel while the kids are coached from being nervous wobblers to confident riders.
The show also features the spectacular Michelin Revolution Show including the Best of British riders battling it out in two competing teams, with 12 times world trials champion Dougie Lampkin joined by TT ace Ian Hutchinson and World Superbike champion Neil Hodgson.
