CBR900RR as promised...

[grunthorpe]

Good afternoon folks,

For those of you who didn't see my original post, I'm back after a bit of a break and looking forward to next year's challenge!

I've bought myself a 1995 CBR900RR and couldn't be happier with her, after already putting a few hundred miles on the clock (unfortunately for the bike she'll be ridden in all weathers!). I've included some pictures for your viewing pleasure:

 

 

Let me know what you think,

Nice bike Nick , like all the 900rr's from 92 till 2003 , not too fussed on what came after

Very nice. I like the way it looks original, to my inexpert eyes. Particularly the exhaust: please promise you won't be changing that for some aftermarket pipes

For me it was the other way around, my first bike after a 400 was one of these, a 1994 one and I just didn’t end up getting on with it very well unfortunately, had a 954 and loved that and a 2006 one and that was great too.

OP it’s a great looking bike, Classic 90s Fireblade and I hope you enjoy it .

Lovely looking lines on that bike

I do like the older blades, newer bikes to me look too small

hi grunthorpe smart looking bike, do you ever go in the wine glass

[rennie]

Nice!

I had a 97 rrv, loved it!

Nice bike [mention]grunthorpe[/mention],

I love how there is a crash bar at the front. I guess it's pretty useful if you wanted to mount anything.

I do love the colour profiles of that bike, looks great for it's age.

Thanks for all the kind comments, she was a great find! The exhaust is actually aftermarket I believe, the brand is Remus, but it sounds good without being too loud.

The crash bar is interesting, I think it must be an original part, it seems to be pretty integral part of the bike but I could be wrong.

I rode her for around 300 miles straight from the dealership and she didn’t skip a beat, but you do have to be very positive with the shifter! Lots of character though, doesn’t feel like a mundane production line machine at all!

The "crash bar" is a frame part that holds the mirrors and screen steady

On that note, the mirrors are totally disgusting and out of place. I’m almost certain they’ve been replaced after a mishap!

[ThePhatomfart]

They look right for their time, maybe you could experiment with new ones

Awesome... the bike I never bought but always wanted.

I wish I'd had a Blade during my sportsbike years instead of those bloody great GSXR 1100s .
