I had the one with the slot rear light - MY03 I think.
Great bike as well although the next incarnation was meant to be a good improvement.
After that I think most flagship sports bikes started shrinking so a bit of a squeeze for tall guys.

Maybe the best Blade ever in its original incarnation but I never thought the best bike available at the time. I had a new one in 2002, red and black, at the time I thought it was the pinnacle of bikes but after a few years with it I got fed up with the overly hard seat and suspension, it just didn't seem a friendly bike to ride so it was sold. I would put a steering damper on a 954 as the first essential modification, at the time Honda recalled them to tighten the steering head bearings as they knew the bike was unstable.

I now know I should have bought a 2002 GSXR1000 back then. I love my 2010 one!

954 def a great bike to ride. I also had the previous version the 929 and managed to get hold of the rare limited edition model in erion american racing colours. Pic attached. Both the 929 and 954 made me feel more involved than the newer 1000cc RR models but I suppose it's

just down to personal preference.

I love the erion colours, I thought they where an American import only.

I have ridden a few newer Blades and I don't like them much either, they still are a bit uncomfortable, the seat is like a beer mat, but they have lost the aggressive character of the 954.

Honda's feel like white appliances to me!

Here's my two and hers

OMG the NSR250 is amazing! Was actually looking at them on ebay last week then realised they are making crazy money. 2stroke is king, I've had a couple CR250s in my time and completely miss the buzz. I say that NSR250 is a handful

Yeah they are way too expensive and you will probably find a lot of the ones for sale in the shops are fairly recent imports that most likely have been lying up for a number of years and will probably need a bit of engine work. Mine lay for I don't know how long but was made in 91 and imported to the uk God knows when then I bought it about six years ago and it had never been registered in the uk. Needless to say it needed work. I.e. Crank and carbs.

My uncle just finished an rc213v-s replica on a fireblade. I think it looks fantastic.

 

[Dynam0humm]

I've owned this over 5 years now -

2008 model, the last of the screamers. I toyed with the idea of selling it last year but had a quiet word with myself. I think I'll buy a 2nd bike before getting rid of this one.

6th gear, cable tie throttle and brake lever, put it on the paddock stand, keep the tank topped up.

1000miles done in no time. Even change gear the odd time

Riding year round is beginning to take it's toll on my wee bike. Wheels are starting to flake quite bad. Do I stick with black? Quite like gold on some bikes and florescent colours have been catching my eye.

 

[Gareth]

Black or gold. Flouro looks sh1t

Go a nice shade of gold. I personally think a day glow colour wouldn't suit it.

Wil happily cruise around the mountains and do a few trips to Abu Dhabi and stuff got a bit rusty in 18 months off the saddle!

Tell me about it, CBR has pretty much not moved in about 3 years

 

[ilovequo]

Anyone got any panniers lying about?
To fit a Givi rack...
The cheaper the better!

 

[Hel]

Half the break in done! Ahhh I want full powahhh

 

[NotKG]

wheelie machine, 150 with the wind on your back

 

[pobmk4]

Not mine, but one I recently rebuilt for a customer.

The bike had been repaired previously and VERY poorly. He came to me for a rear shock replacement and I ended up taking it down to just a frame. I just wish I had the before pictures to show how bad it was.
