Looking For Cbr900 Fireblade Stock

personally i would go for the one on auto trader the colours are better but that's only my opinion,both look relatively near standard without much of the bling crap some folk ruin their bikes with,keep us updated on what you think if you view them both.

 

To add my pennyworth the Autotrader one without doubt!

 

I've had an RRV which had been painted in RRW purple colours and an RRW in the shell suit Turquoise and Orange colour. I preferred the foxeye blade (RRV and before) and the RRW and RRX blades are so adept at everything they do but they do lack a little soul, but you look down and find yourself doing 140mph! My 4XV and 5JJ R1's both felt raw and like you were trying to kill yourself
Carb balance can make it sound awful and is not a huge fix, tyre choice is limited with anything before 2001 as they had the 16 inch wheel fitted with the 130 profile front tyre which people swap out for the VFR wheel but I love the feel of it and the handling but I don't care if your name is Rossi, you won't get that front tyre off the edge
When I got my RRV I rode it and knocked the guy down to £1800 as the suspension felt knackered but once I'd fitted a pair of boots it transformed the handling and feel. Turns out it was just the tyres were shot!
Check frame numbers match the log book and check they look legit as there will be a few ringers or written off bikes in the mix these days as they always sell well.
Just take a look at the one below and it has 72k on it, they really do go forever they are so over engineered. My mate has over 70k on his 98 RRV.

Oh yeah, and if you find an Urban Tiger for less than £3k snap it up as they're fetching silly sums for some reason!

You won't find better than this for the money! Not sure what the score is on the fuel tap though. Sound like BS to me. I had my old ZX6R rebuilt but when the shop put the tank back on they had twisted the fuel line flat so it would only pull fuel through on reserve! Probably just needs plugs, maybe just the plugs breaking down? Easy fix?

Again....congrats Moe
When my son was born 20yrs ago (feck I’m getting old ) everyone said that’ll be you getting rid of the bike then?....NAH NO CHANCE
Bloody good excuse to get away from the noisy squawking little monster

 

Yeah spark plugs can break down under power. Some people don’t maintain their vehicles that’s a fact of life. Could be an easy fix.
That turquoise one looks worth a shot if you can chip him £200

 

There’s a few in the bay just now around £1500. If you change your search for CBR900, CBR 918, Fireblade 900RR etc.
