    Immaculate Honda Fireblade urban tiger for sale

    my cherished toy for the last 5 or so years

    94 Honda fireblade Urban tiger (RRR) immaculate and unmarked, I would be surprised if there is a better urban tiger for sale at the moment, considered by many of the biking press to be the best incarnation of the blade (the last model before it lost the noticeble powerband and "gained" the more upright riding position, Urban tiger colours, going to be a classic one day

    32k 2 previous owners, guy before me was the senior technician at the local honda dealer and owned the bike from 2 years old, bike has a full cat 1 (spyball) alarm immobilizer, recent gold renthal sprockets and gold DID chain, crash protectors (never used ) new BT 010's, new battery, harris carbon fibre hugger, smaller indicators (decent quality ones ) micron road legal system, seat cowel, I'll stick 12 months mot on it for th new buyer, any inspection welcome, its perfect all history and receipts availible



    £3200 tel 07903 425698

    Cheers Glyn

    dunno whats going on there

    anyway still for sale, take it away for £2900 bargain

    here's a little bit about my bike, liffted off the MCN website

    <font color="red"> MCN OVERALL RATING: 92%

    Owners' satisfaction rating: 97% </font>

    The genuine article
    MANY argue that this version is the definitive FireBlade: great looks, challenging power delivery and a riding position just this side of race-track acute. Later versions had higher ?bars and a softer power delivery despite making more power, and consequently lost that psycho edge.

    This was the first major update for the all-conquering FireBlade. The machine went straight to the top of the sales charts after its release in 1992 and only got a change of paintwork the following year.

    After a couple of years in the limelight what the emperor really needed was new clothes, so a retailored set of threads graced the 1994 model. Gone was the psychotic thousand-yard-stare of the original twin headlights to be replaced by a smoothly feral Foxeye unit, which blended seamlessly into a redesigned upper fairing.

    Sharpening the blunt looks of the original also improved the aerodynamics and the higher screen deflected the windblast better. This new superstructure was now anchored to an aluminium-look fairing stay, rather than the dull black of the original, to give the impression of even more lightness - if not the actuality.

    The engine remained unchanged, with the screaming top end still present, correct and capable of sub-eleven second quarter miles or catapulting the clocks into your face. With over 120 horsepower on tap and a top speed on the naughty side of 160 its hooligan credentials were never in doubt; and it could even manage 40mpg as well!

    Grammes were shaved from the engine by making the cam cover from magnesium and the speedo drive migrated from the front wheel to the gearbox sprocket cover. This electrically driven alteration also meant that the rider?s progress continued to be monitored even when the front wheel was nowhere near the Tarmac ? a frequent occurrence and useful for checking wheelie velocity?

    Minor modifications were made to the gearbox to improve the rather notchy change from first to second, so snicking up a gear during those wheelies was even easier.

    The front suspension benefited from the addition of a stepless adjustment system and made accurate setting easier and smoother, but didn?t altogether eliminate the chatter that could be induced under braking.

    This makeover also saw the introduction of the<font color="red"> Urban Tiger </font> paintscheme, which quickly became the livery (along with red, white and blue) most synonymous with the Blade. In fact, it launched a thousand copies on grey-import CBR400s and became as sought-after as tiger-tackle in a Chinese hypothecary.
