This video is from the launch of the new Fireblade we have shots of the bike, on board footage and Johnny Rea talking about the new Honda.

Honda keeps making the Fireblade that bit better with each update, and the 2012 model is no exception.

It's been 20 years of Fireblade! 20 years ago bike journos from around the world gathered at Phillip Island to ride the first Fireblade: you remember the one - holes in the fairing, the then-radical 16-inch front wheel. More importantly it was super lightweight, handled well and looked horn.
