    I have reluctantly decided to sell on my RRN (but registered in 93) first gen fireblade.

    I will be doing a full add in the next few days.

    lovely and classy, timeless.

    Can't see you having any issues with this sale (depending on price of course :) )

    Thanks lads!

    I will post a link to the add when I get to place it.

    She is a great bike & I know every nut & bolt; its hard not to get attached to a cool bit of sport bike history.

    I know.

    But I need the space & cash for a new bike; got to move forward & all that.

    She is a beaut to ride; nothing like the monster the press wrote about 20 years ago.

    She wasn't so good looking when I found her. It's took 2-years to get to this stage & there are still a few areas for improvement.

    I have enjoyed the project & it been really cool having both the first & most recent Blades in the garage at the same time.

    This is my ad if anyone is interested; although I don't expect a quick sale. These bikes are generally bought by collectors now so I guess I have to wait for one to come along.

    1993 HONDA CBR900RRP | eBay

    I'm one of the "watchers"

    I'm currently looking for a 2nd bike and tbh I'm Sooooooo tempted, but then I'd have two bikes I don't want to ride in poor weather.

    Good luck with the sale mate

    Haha, I know what you mean.

    This old girl is not for riding; just cleaning, fettling & talking about.

    Then, on a perfect day, once each year, you take her out & laugh your head off!

    WTF am I doing..........

    I made a mistake with the original ad; this bike is a 92 model RRN (1st generation, 1st year). It wasn't registerred till 93 however.

    Well it looks like I will be keeping the old girl for a while at least. I have had an ebay add running for a while; lots of silly offers & one reasonable but not sure how genuine.

    She stands me at a few ££ so would rather keep her than accept too little.

    :)
