Performance as with Rolls-Royce: Enough
Among the motorcycles, which attract more power with more and more performance, the fireblade had its punch from the beginning. Already in 1992 in the "gray", ERGO open version 126 hp strong, it is strengthened in the latest generation on 172 hp. There are competitors who tickle even more power from a tight liter of displacement, but: It’s enough.
For the first, because the fireblade never should be the uncompromising extreme athletes in kind of a Suzuki GSX-R. For the second, because the four-cylinder is a force: in the middle speed range to drive through supple power development relaxed, snappy high-speed and mercilessly packaging when the driver can tear the gas grip and lets a few moments at the stop.
A short moment of retreating after the first power lit in 8,000 tours, which ever picks up gravity in the stomach: Do you really want that? Then the unleashing of the last reserves, a screech, a burner switching flash in the central tachometer whose needle is supplied to the "12": already displays the digital tacho Tempo 220. In the second gear.
Klack, Klack, Klack, Klack. Now we are in the sixth. The gearbox could be crispy, but who wants to complain now – at Tacho Tempo 290? The left thumbs touches after the light horn; The world (here: left motorway gauge) is full of drivers whose BMW delegates at 250 and whose imagination is not containing a single-track vehicle with Formula 1 tempo.
290 km / h – and no ABS
Brakes: toxic, effective. Too bad that this model does not offer ABS. But a forward-looking drive should belong to the basic tension of all bikers.
With a crunchy engine, we control the rest. After almost 200 kilometers of swift highway ride globes the reserve light. A little boy circles the machine, looks at the cockpit, looks the "14" on the bottom right on the tachometer, which he probably holds for the speedometer: "Why are you going so slowly?"
