A 1992 European-spec first-generation Honda CBR900RR Fireblade once owned by TV presenter James May is going under the hammer. Its 893cc inline-four made 124hp, and the bike arrived roughly 45kg lighter than rivals of its era. With about 22,000km on the clock, it's expected to fetch around $5,600.
Looking back at the history, 1992 was the year the first Fireblade tore up every assumption about what a big-bore supersport should be. Coming in 45kg lighter than its rivals wasn't luck — it was engineers' obsession made metal. That a bike like this, once in May's hands, still surfaces in the market today says it's living on as memory, not just a spec sheet, doesn't it.

First time hearing about the Fireblade, the name alone sounds cool
45kg lighter than rivals is a brutal number for that era
Right, no electronic aids back then either
That first-gen Fireblade weight-loss trick still hits hard even today
Lighter bikes make for easier long rides, nice
$5,600 is a steal — you'd think May's ownership alone would push the price way higher
