Blade first test in MCN, out Tuesday

The World’s first test of the all-new 2004 Fireblade is published in MCN this Tuesday.

Out one day early, for Christmas, the latest MCN includes a free 12-page Fireblade test supplement, complete with our verdict, full tech spec, interviews with the key men behind Honda’s new superbike and the history of the mould-busting Blade.

Tuesday’s issue also includes the chance to win fantastic prizes in our Christmas quiz (including a signed Rossi rep lid), first tests on the KTM250 and 950 supermotos, news of a radical new Ducati Monster and why the M6 toll road is a waste of cash for motorcyclists.

And you can get your hands on a pair of thermal inner gloves for just £1 with our exclusive reader offer.

MCN is out on Tuesday, December 23 and again on Tuesday December 30 over the festive season. If you’re not resident in the UK, you can buy an e-subscription and get MCN in full delivered as a download. Follow the link on the right.
