When you’ve collected a record-setting seven Formula One World Drivers' Championship titles, why not collect a few other things as well… You know, like motorcycles!
Used for track day sessions by the seven-time F1 champion, Schumacher’s 2010 Honda CBR1000RR SC59 “Fireblade” hit the auction block at RM Sotheby’s last month and was expected to sell for somewhere between $30,000 to $40,000 USD. Holzhauer Racing Performance (HRP) converted the Fireblade from road to race specifications for Schumacher to use during test days. The bike features traction control and wheelie control managed by an ECU, as well as special components such as an airbox, oil cooler, quick shifter, Akrapovič Titan exhaust system, and more that HRP outfitted the Fireblade with for the German F1 legend.
With 3,730 kilometers on the odometer, the bike obviously not a show-pony for Schumacher, who can be seen riding the Fireblade in a variety of photos included in the RM Sotheby’s auction listing.
