... There’s a lot to go at, even in this more standard form – with 90% of the 2017 model being brand new. Power to weight ratio is improved by 14% – reaching the best level ever for the Fireblade thanks to a 15kg weight reduction and 10.7bhp ...

Lots of new models being unveiled today. I'll try and update the thread as I spot stuff being published.

... on 675.cc since early 2014. I only actually met her once (at our forum trackday this year, where she stayed & camped with us despite not being on track). The accident happened on Thursday evening, and as she commuted on her 675 I should expect that will have been returning home from her ...
