Honda Fireblade Named "Best Used Bike"

An association of British motorcycle dealers has named the Honda
CBR1000R Fireblade as the "Best Used Bike of the Year."
More than 600 voted in the British Dealer News survey, and the
Fireblade reportedly won in a landslide. The bike features a 999cc
liquid-cooled four-cylinder inline engine that allows it to perform
well both on the street and the track.
The motorcycle scene across the pond might be a tad different than
in the U.S., but it's hard to argue with the voters' reasoning. The
CBR1000R Fireblade is one of the best-looking and most-desired
bikes on either side of the Atlantic, it consistently sells well
and has earned top marks for quality and reliability in a number of
consumer surveys, in addition to offering excellent resale
value.
"The Fireblade has consistently proved itself as an incredible
machine both on the road and track," said Steve Martindale, Honda's
general manager in the UK. "The fact that it's still as popular
today as it was back in 1992 when it was introduced in its first
incarnation is testament to the machine's impressive credentials
and, we're delighted to know that motorcycle dealers across the
industry hold the Fireblade with the same regard as our customers
do."
