Thumbs up Bonding with my Banshee...My new Fireblade
My new Avatar as a SBK rider relates to James Cameron's movie-Avatar. Especially the process of becoming the Ikran Matko. An Ikran Makto is an individual Na'vi who manages to ride an Ikran, or Mountain Banshee. Bonding with a Banshee and becoming an Ikran Makto is a dangerous and required rite of passage for Na'vi warriors. The banshee is a social animal but the bonding process in not an easy one. You have to literally "connect" with your Ikran. My first interaction with my Fireblade was a similar experience. Following chart sums it all, albeit, in a filmy way


Coming straight to the point, I have bought a 2007 Honda CBR1000RR (Fireblade) from a dear friend. The list below provides you with the summary.
Quote:
Note: All duties have been paid and its a bike with valid registration
  • Date of Manufacturing: Nov 2007
  • Odo reading: Less than 4700kms
  • Stock golden alloys (I havent seen these on any Honda before '08 model)
  • Showa forks (stock)
Aftermarkets:
  • Yoshimura RS-5 exhaust
  • Puig screen fading from dark bottom to clear top
  • HID kit - 8000K
  • Frame sliders
  • Iridium plugs
  • Paddock rear-stand bobbins
  • K & N filter
  • Rear seat cowl - Got it from Dubai after sending them the colour code.
Coming Soon: My first experience with her...<watch this space>
