Blade Love

[HRT]

Yeah, a 919 so still the nicer shape (IMO)

Some pics outta old mags I got laying around


Repsol 92/93 fireblade.. not my taste, these were never race bikes so not a fan.. but there it is.


British pride! not bad, most of the good bits are hidden, sweet tail exhausts, 6 piston front brakes and a host of other mods, SSS etc. its a 95ish, second gen.


This 96 Blade is hand painted, started life as a tigerblade but the owner didn't like it, took it back to gel coat and then painted it himself, the decals/logos etc are all painted not stickers/vinyl.


Tight, lot of polish, love the exhausts.. that'll have to be my next mission. plenty of touches on this one. SSS, mirrors, heel guards all sorts.


chuck a 916 duke front end on, apparently they slip right on. probably not cheap though. rest of the blade is stock bar the yoshi exhaust.



turbo charged blade doing a mono.. this had some pretty gnarly power figures even by todays standards.. if you could keep the nose down it would probably eat most of todays factory offerings

Yeah that black/silver one hung on my wall for a while. I like the subtlety. The others aren't my bag, but I seem to remember that on the whole that particular round up in PB was pretty top notch.

I remember seeing a GSXR750J in an Ozzie mag, repainted in the factory scheme/colours but with higher quality paints. Very subtle and very tidy. Big fan of that one too.

Bladeophilia seems to be quite common. My mate has just got another mortgage to stick more farkles on his 05. A new Power Commander to get the most from the 2 bros pipe, new rear set's new clutch cover, carbon hugger. Oh, tires and more polishing wax too..

I love my blade, rather than sell it, I would just try get an additional bike.. or bikes and sell/swap them to keep it interesting, but the blade can stay haha.

Me too!! love my 2003 954!
Harris 20 spoke wheels,uprated brakes, progressive suspension, power commander, re-mapped@152bhp/125ftlb, akrapovik exhaust, velocity stacks, ignition advancer, GPR steering damper, rear sets.........stickers!

Tidy looking blade man.

On a semi-related note, does anyone have a 1996 or 1997 CBR900RR rear shock lying around? I need a spaare.

Speaking of not collecting bikes and having too many toys - Anyone know of any 92/93 cbr900rr's for sale in NZ apart from the one on tardme for 5,500?
white/blue/red colors preferable.

Saw one sell for 3,010 the other week.. woulda bloody bid on it if I wasnt at hampton downs racing
