PROS
- Instant Classic: The very first year of the DOHC "Euro-style" Fireblade predecessor; highly prized by collectors for its purity.
- Superior Power: Its 901cc engine delivered 95 hp, comfortably beating the period’s 1000cc rivals like the Kawasaki Z1000.
- ComStar Tech: Debuted the silver five-spoke ComStar wheels, which were revolutionary for allowing tubeless tires on a production bike.
- Endurance DNA: Named after the 24-hour French race, it was built to sustain high speeds for hours, making it a very capable "sleeper" tourer.
CONS
- Early-Production Quirks: First-batch units (1978/early '79) often had weaker cam chain tensioners and single-piston brake calipers.
-
- Flexible Forks: The original 35mm front forks are quite thin for a bike this heavy, leading to "fork flex" during aggressive cornering.
-
- Heavy Handling: With a 19-inch front wheel and a weight of 254 kg, it requires physical effort to tip into tight hairpins.
-
- Maintenance Intensive: The 16-valve DOHC head is masterpiece but complex; shim-under-bucket valve adjustments are time-consuming.
