1994 Fireblade for SV 650.

Year isn't important, condition is.

Carbon stuff is because the last owner seemed to have a fetish for the stuff. Yoke protector, rear hugger, frame guards. Had the tank off for a service and the guards look cosmetic as the frame you can see is fine, but I didn't bother taking them off to check. Any viewers would be welcome to check.

And it's possible, but I have a strong preference for black bikes!

It might be important as to whether you want the old chape or new shape SV , mind you for a Blade that old you would be looking for a nice condition Curvy SV in Black .

out of interest, what is your insurance on the blade?

It might be old but that doesn't mean it's any worse for wear! Plus it's a pretty rare colour scheme.

It's an insurance group 17E. At 21, even with 2 years NCD, it's £1200 a year fully comp.

Blimey, i'm 19 and got a quote for under £800 fully comp. I thought that was bad!

£800 fully comp for a blade? Who through? And how many years NCD do you have?

is that standard blade colour or has it been painted?

Standard but rare. The colour code is on the bike somewhere, seen it before.

Think it was through Bikesure (aka Adrian Flux). Found the quote on www.thebikeinsurer.com
I've got 3 at the moment but 4 in march. Had an accelerated NCB policy with eBike a few years ago, accumulated 2 years in 16 months iirc. Don't forget it depends on where you live, whether it's garaged or not etc.

Bloody nice price mate!

My bike is in an alarmed garage with an oxford disc lock. Did my quote through the bike insurer too.

If I could get insurance down to that level for the bike I wouldn't even consider switching to another bike!
