11:00 am, Monday morning – it’s that time of the week when most offices around the globe will indulge in a group meeting to discuss the strategies for the week ahead. But at Motoroids, it’s different. Our Editor and I were laid back in our recliners, competing with each other on digital CBR1000RRs on a Playstation riding simulator. And that’s when this thought crossed our mind – the 2009 Fireblade has been here for more than 6 months, but still the bike hasn’t seen the sun rising on a race track; so why not do a good deed for once and set the caged bird free in its natural habitat? With a smile on his face, Amit agreed to the idea and out came his cell phone. And Viola! Come Wednesday and a fully-serviced CBR1000RR stood in our parking waiting to be cranked up for a journey down South to the Kari Motor Speedway!
I guess I was already missing my favorite online farming game, hence the picture with these sunflowers in the background.
At 200+ km/h a small dot on the road suddenly turns into a truck as big as this. And you thought this speed was no big deal.
The new model has chucked the hydraulic clutch for a conventional wire-actuated unit
Thanks to the stability, taking a photograph while riding is no big deal

Dude,
Amazing write up and pictures, you made me to fall in love again with a Blade. Enjoyed each and every picture took and a word written over here. Waiting for more like this on MOTOROIDS… Great going…

I guess you have pressed the clutch while taking the last pic on page one.
Wow! Amazing writeup and so are the pics. I wonder the 110 Rs/litre fuel didnt do any harm to the engine- coz am not sure about the purity of fuels available at such places.
Great work! Enjoyed every bit of it!
@Deepak: Thanks buddy. I agree, the fuel wasn’t the best you could get. And yup, I might have been changing a gear in that pic, the shot was taken on a self timer.
@Mohsin: Thanks for the kind words, we’ll try to bring you more such stories…:)
amazing write up buddy,kudos to you.
I reckon the problem with reviews these days is just they are just way too mechanical stressing mostly on the technical bits on the machine and not letting us feel how the machine gets connected to you. You have managed to shatter my perception totally, loved and enjoyed every word of your review.
Keep the good work coming.
Awesome bike, it was wonderful to read the article. I felt like reading a poem filled with emotions of a biker. simply beautiful!!
Beautifully said, awesome work
