can you get it in repsol colours?

 

of course

all those with more money than sense....please form line to the left

 

Surely this is dated wrong but rrzone also says that the the 2004 Blade is
going to be 1060cc. If that happens I'd have to take back all the nasty
things I said about 636s and permanently colour my turds blue and white.

First details of bigger-bore Blade for 2004'
25 Oct 2001

Honda's FireBlade is to get a 1060cc capacity and a far more torque-laden
power delivery.

The idea is to open up a wider gap in character between the CBR600 and the
Blade. The changes to the Blade are due for 2004. The CBR600 will only be
given minor updates for 2003 before an all-new CBR600 emerges in 2004.

Honda has made no official comments and no more details of the bikes have
yet emerged. but remember where you heard this much first.

 

Well, anyone writing significantly later than October 2001 would've probably
known better than to state,

"The CBR600 will only be given minor updates for 2003
before an all-new CBR600 emerges in 2004."

 

I thought it was gonna' be the RCB1000 (No "Fireblade").
Can't trust these sneaky little yellow men......
