James May may have built an entire television persona around moving at the speed of a mildly concerned librarian, but his taste in motorcycles tells a very different story. One of his former bikes is currently up for auction, and it happens to be an early Honda CBR900RR Fireblade, a motorcycle created specifically to make the superbikes of the early 1990s look bloated, confused, and late to their own party.
The current bid sits at $5,600, which seems remarkably reasonable for a first-generation Fireblade with celebrity ownership and a documented history.
