"Baby Blades back"

[CINDERS]

Well after 6 months my Baby CBR 250RR Fireblade is coming home tomorrow its been in the shop that long slowly getting done.
Nothing major really wrong with it, had the front forks rebuilt & legs powder coated, new rear shock (Good 2nd handi), 2 new tyres, new chain-sprockets, new fairings, 2 pack painted wheels, new switch blocks L-R, valve clearances done, carbies balanced and dynoed tuned.

It be a fearsome machine all 45 rear wheel horsepower and 16Nm of torque as per dyno chart the mech took it for a run to scrub the new tyres in and said it fairly screams.
As he dyno'ed it he had to run it up to the red line which is at 19,000RPM so yeah it screams alright.
Looking forward to riding it although it has 170 HP less than my V4 and 108 Nm less torque so some adjustment to the riding style is in order here I think.

That would be somethin' to stand by and watch...with ear defenders on.

I had a CBR400R a while ago; these pocket rockets are so much fun to ride. The 400 only goes to 14500 rpm though.
It's the motorcycle equivalent of a .22 SMLE!
