Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda Fireblade 30th Anniversary 2022

The SC82 was already a hit when it was released in 2020, with the aforementioned minor blemishes that Honda has now successfully eliminated in 2022. A great advantage for road and track. The new Fireblade is thus once again the top performer for both disciplines and will certainly be able to secure a place at the top.

Great engine

Good electronic tuning

Top driveability and feedback

Knee angle very narrow, especially for taller riders
