Honda knows how to make a product that sells on it's own merits, even with an absolute lack of a cool factor for the most part (new AT notwithstanding), but they always seem to lag behind everyone else in numbers, and the fireblade is still pretty much unchanged since 2008 except for fixing issues. They're barebones which is just an euphemism for "Old fashioned"
