Video: Onboard Padgetts Superstock Fireblade

There are no new 1000cc Japanese sports bikes due next year, so to improve our 2009 machines we decided to learn from one of the best bikes in the British Superstock Championship. The Padgetts Honda Fireblade.

The Superstock machines use almost standard engines and frames, keeping them closer to the road bike than their Superbike brothers.

MCN’s Adam Child rode the Padgetts Superstock Fireblade round Oulton Park to see how different the race bike felt from the standard road-going Honda Fireblade.
