CBR 900RR “Fireblade.”
1993 White (but wait thats not all, for an unlimited time only red and blue paint included at no extra cost), Excellent condition. 43922KM.
Jardine Tailpipe , Bilstein Steering Damper.
Quake mere mortals - bow down to the glory that is the father of the modern superbike.
I may be a little biased but I don’t think I am exaggerating when I say it’s the best bike ever made. Why go for one of those less photogenic late 90s Blades with the square headlight and vomit paintjobs , when you can experience the sartorial elegance of round headlights and what is undoubtedly the finest paint scheme ever committed to a vehicle. Honestly - they have brought it back in 2012 so, I am right. Yes I know the front wheel on the early blade being a bit smaller could occasionally result in twitchiness that may catapult you through a hedge , but that’s why it now has a steering damper, though I think my jeep could use it more. Be a man. (or if a woman wishes to buy this , Be a man!)
You too can break the speed limit in any gear (note – do not break the speed limit).
$3500 OBO. You may think that’s quite high for a nearly 20 year old bike, but as much as you are buying something that is still wickedly fast, you are buying a piece of history. Don’t expect it to depreciate any more. If somebodies going to spend $60K on a wheezy old muscle car that gets 20 Gallons to the mile and cant go round a corner, think what this will be worth in the not too distant future. You may ask “then why am I selling it” well papas Jeep needs some new wheels and ebay has too many regulations to sell kidneys nowadays. I challenge anyone to find as good an example of this colour scheme for less. If you can I will send you a shiny new penny (shipping and handling not included. To qualify please send a prepaid, self addressed envelope with notarized evidence of lower priced fireblade).
Just had the safety done and replaced the front wheel bearings at that time as they were apparently notched - all to common inthis land of strait roads. They were replaced with roller bearings which is apparently a good thing and should last much longer (although cmon - 20 years?) . They could have replaced them with roller skates for all I know about bearings though. Hmm I suspect I may have noticed that.
Bonus - as this is a carburated bike , in the event of detonation of a nearby nuke or other weapon with an emp signature, your charred remains will be able to safely ride out the apocalypse unlike modern electronic fuel injection vehicles. If you are a survivalist with a penchant for high speed and style, this is the bike for you.
Let the bidding war commence!
