    House gets a Fireblade

    Unbelievable, he tests rides an Aprillia RSV, but buys a Fireblade, now I know this is television, so as such not based in reality - but really this is ridiculous!

    Honda's obviously got a bigger marketing budget than Aprilia.

    He crashed it, he mentions a 'scrape on the side'. So everyone gets the gixxer bug, even if they don't ride one..

    Was pretty cool to see that on the show though.

    I think the "scrape" thing was self depricating humour, akin to why is a motorbike parked in a handicapped park space.

    Perhaps he heard about the swing arm recall.

    That looked sexy in Orange. A scheme that only the USA have I think.

    Thought it was funny that he had an open face helmet. Obviously easier to film him looking 'enlightened' (or something) in the last scene.

    I think you'll find it was a repsol but of course being TV they would have cut that part out. No such thing as a free lunch.

    yea noticed the open face thing too.. seemed out of place.

    but badass that they rocked a bike thou

    that character is quite an anti-hero, but quite well done in some places.

    Finn - I only saw the very ast scene of him riding out of the car park, but Im sure it wasnt a Repsol. Having said that I cant find the solid-ish orange colour bike on the US Honda site. Guess Im wrong.

    It was a repsol. You saw a bit more of it in a earlier scene

    The bit about the road rash on the bike was done by the guy he bought it off... quote went something like, "a design architect who couldn't seperate cornering from braking... it looks bad but goes fast" or something like that.

    You guys are blind. It had Repsol decals all over it -- just like all Repsol Blades do.

    Yep - I heard that too. Plus he (presumably) bought it for the US$5000 that he borrowed - which would be about right for a 2nd hand cosmetically damaged bike..
