Chris Eubank’s ’Blade on sale

A HONDA Fireblade once owned by the world’s most famous monocle-wearing former middleweight and super middleweight world title holder is up for sale at Bonhams’ auction at the Stafford show on April 26, with an estimate of only £1500-£2000.

The 1995 bike has just 11,569 miles on the clock and features a unique paint scheme designed by Chris Eubank himself. It features his initials and the words “Simply the Best” – taken from the Tina Turner song that used to be played during his fight entrances.

There’s an aftermarket Renegade end can and the bike is described as in excellent condition. What do you think? Bargain or barmy? We sort of like it.
