from 95-98 they did 12 diferant colour scheames, all are lush.

+1 On what Hovis said.

I wouldn't say don't buy one, but be very, very careful. Any bike of that age has been through a number of owners hands, and even though the 'Blade has always been well known for it's durability, anything of that age has history sometimes LOTS of history and often it will be hard to ascertain fully what that history was.

That said if it looks OK, rides OK, everything works right and the owner makes the right noises when you wheel out the probing questions there's no reason not buy and aged bike.

If you really must have one look at lots before you get your money out - there's still plenty around.

Yeah, good advice thanks

Going to see a blade tomorrow. He's had it 3-years which bodes well. I tend to avoid anything with - stickers, rim tape, tiny plates, super loud exhaust, billions of owners. It's a buyers market at the moment

G2D what model are you going to look at?

Sack it and buy something that there won't be 20 of at every bike meet.

there wont be 20 1995 urban tiger fireblades at bike meets.

Old bikes never go out on ride outs! It's like walking in to a showroom going out on a sunny day. You almost see herds of white and blue GSXRs! (see me try and justify this here? )

When my RD is finished it will be coming out on the road. And I will do my damnedest to keep up with all modern shiit that comes along
Same with GSXR, but I know that will kick most modern stuff into the weeds (when I have built a motor to my specification muahaha)
