For the 2000 model year, Honda gave their best selling CBR900RR FireBlade a massive overhaul, but was it anywhere near as good as Yamaha’s class-leading YZF-R1?
Is it a poor man’s V-Max or simply Honda hubris? Scoop hurtles towards the horizon on his mate’s Honda V65 Magna – known affectionately as ‘Red Molly’!
It may look like a TS185, sound like a TS185, and certainly moves like a TS185, but it isn’t a TS185. Low and behold it’s a TC185! A what? Yes, precisely!
