- The CBR900RR Fireblade is almost 30 years old and was an incredible motorcycle in its day! I was lucky enough to get my leg over one to see how it stands up against the latest modern sportsbikes?

I had a 954. Still the best Blade. 154hp. No tc. No rider modes. No nonsense. Just perfection. One of the best looking sports bikes ever made too. Up there with the 916 for me. Mine was the superior white/blue.
Getting my 94 back up after someone came into my lane took me and my friend on another bike out anyways it's really hard to find parts for this thing but still worth it
I’m in your neck of the woods with a 954. Welcome to have a look chops.
I got one stored away , will be collector one day. 🇨🇦
Thanks AP
Lamb Chop Rides . Having new rear fitted next week so if you want to wait until that’s scrubbed in and then come and have a look before you decide if you want to ride it you’re more than welcome.
Ross - That's a mistake, you should ride it. You are trading years of pleasure and memories for a little bit of money. Unless of course you're a collector and don't ride at all.
@@blipco5 no I collect bike's only Kawasaki's. My current bike ZX-14 turbocharged fully done,but I got the bug getting new one. Am going be 56 y/o and being big guy the zH2 is out question,I really like 2020 KTM 1290 R,the electronics today is amazing. Also great machine just for city blasting. Love 954 going wash this weekend first time it will see light since 2008. Will put in new fuel, battery fire it up,go down memory lane. If my memory serves me right I can even put 6 pack of beer under seat,lol. Cheers from Canada.
nothing like the sound of an old carb'd blade
My eyes almost cry from this beautiful sound.... she's an angel screaming for next gear... beautiful
In 1993 I was 8 years old. I remember seeing these bikes in the shop when my dad took me with him. To me they looked like some beautiful machine from the future!
Driving home through Matlock Bath in the early nineties a fireblade was parked up on the side of the road and I said to my girlfriend “one day I will have one of those.” Sure enough in 98 I bought the original 92 blade. Having only ridden a Kmx125 on the road it was a massive learning curve for me. I never fell off my blade but I did get a £400 fine and a three month ban for speeding. I sold it shortly afterwards. Good days. Great bike.
Just sold 1993 Blade after 25 years, miss it like hell, too old to give it justice best engine, handling, sound (GP stainless open race can & induction roar K&N filter) U R the the first to give it the best vid ever thank U.
My favorite affordable modification to a freshly built, hot-rodded 1998 SuperHawk 996 (FireStorm) is the modification of one tooth down on the front sprocket and _three_ teeth up on the rear sprocket (44 teeth), with a teflon-coated light-weight Vortex aluminum rear sprocket kit. You can order the one tooth down (stainless), three teeth up (coated aluminum) kit from Vortex, with an OEM (530) chain profile. I'm not racing anyone, so I don't mind losing a little off of the top-end in order to gain the economy and the acceleration on the bottom-end. A nice mod.
that exhaust note is pure Symphonica!
Got a black 92 on a J SC28 sat in the garage, still a fantastic machine nearly 30 years on.
Greetings from IOM. i rode my 98 blade last week and love how smooth it is, 6th gear down to 30mph no problem, then it will pull all way through to well over 100mph with no dips or glitches.Silky smooth and torquey.
I love these Blades sadly I can no longer get comfortable on one these days. Thank you to you and Adam for sharing the Blade with us
For me the urban tiger colours were the best, good review of an iconic bike!
Most sort after IMO
@Mr. Duckhead I've had black 94 96 now have a black 98
sweet ride I picked up a 93 with 6636 miles on it. Cleaned the carbs, changed the fluids, new battery and she started right up....MY young Navy son loves it...
You said it all your vid/review. Big thumbs up to Adam, it looks fantastic. A true Icon and I have fond memories.
This bike actually got me into motorcycles !!
An icon as a youth .
👍🏼
This or the 916
This was a model that I saw in the flesh , my older brothers mate rode one and you could hear it from a mile away across town. The 916 was the pin up bike , but the sound & smell adds to the experience. 👍🏼
I really do love the old blades , when I was a lad my dad had the fox eye blade in yellow purple and black . Fantastic looking bike . I'm looking to invest in an old blade .
Ah nostalgia 😍😅. Thanks so much for this Chops! Enjoy all your content but would love to see more along this theme please 😃
That bike sticks it to Euro Emission Standards! ✊
Proud owner of a 1993 SC28 in the purple/orange livery. Got it now for about 17 years and it's going nowhere... Great video and greetings from the Netherlands.
Brings back memories, I was learning to drive when this came out and knew someone who owned one. I remember being blown away how nice it was. Good video - keep up the good work.
Not sure how it took me a year to find this vid… such a sweet bike. I’ve had three, a 93, 94, and a 96. Commuted 124 miles round trip, 5 days of week. Only vehicle, and loved every mile.
Great job takin her out and rippin around. Still has a distinct sound to me, but may just be my connection since it was my first three road bikes, lol.
Well done sir, and thanks to your buddy for letting you take her out.
Really enjoyed this LC 👌 this is a beautiful example of the CBR 900RR hopefully you’ll be doing more videos like this in the future 👍🏻
My 2002 954 was a fabulous all-round sport bike. Track days, commuting and even some road trips - it did it all. Now waiting for my LCR hoodie to arrive; the least I can do to support this channel.
back in 1995 my step dad had one of these in purple. im sure at 6 years old this got me into bikes shortly after i had a pw50. brilliant vid awesome how a bike brings back memories u gotta new subscriber
Another excellent video choperoo enjoyed the sound track especially absolutely epic, well done old chap keep up the good work.
My all time favorite bike. Picked up a brand new one in August '92, think it was £7250. Wanted the red, white and blue but none available so plumbed for black. Micron end can and dynojet kit later it pumped out 118 bhp. Loved the bike and wished I'd never p'exd it for Triumph Tiger 900
It was white a sort of pink and blue. Not really red. Just another reason why they stood out and still do today.
Probably the best motovlog out there. Really great to see you testing out older models. Cheers!
I ride a Cbr600rr 2005. Its a Nice little lady that is not to much trouble to make scream :-)
Cheers!
it just shows you how far bikes have come in 30 years, when the 600s of these days compare to the ‘big’ bikes then. lovely note coming off that bike 🤤
agreed not to mention that 600s in the early 2000s already had similar power figures
I remember test riding one back in its day. Within minutes I had back ache & wrist ache but what a machine. After getting back from the test ride I said to the dealer if you put its engine in my then VFR 750 I'd buy one tomorrow. I am still waiting Honda.
Loving what you’re doing with LCR 007. Something old, something new and a few blue words during the rebuild. I get tired of watching new bike reviews. Your mix is great entertainment and enlightenment for the average rider. Love it! 🤓🇦🇺🏍❤️
Thanks Bruce 👍👍
My second bike was a CBR600 ('91 F-M) that had a twin headlight conversion so it looked like the 'blade.
It was blade colours too - the black with red/purple paint. Was a great bike.
Had it 2 years and sold it for more than I paid for it :)
If you're doing a 'blade generation series then you could borrow the FireWeem if you like :) (2010 RR-A)
Thanks Weeem might take you up on that 👍
A 954 'blade was one of my first experiences on the back of a fast bike as a younger chap, back of my Dad, up the bypass, lots and lots of fun, prior to that the fastest thing I'd experienced was an old GPZ900R, that was also a brilliant experience, I would love a '92 'blade now, in exactly the colours on the little picture you showed.
Great review, I really enjoyed that. Good work buddy 👍
I bought a 93 version for two grand in 2018 and used it as a daily driver for a while then traded it for a Ducati 748. Now theres a usable classic...
Another great video Chopsy! The 360 does not look too bad!
Chops putting in the work , what a beauty!👍
Love my old ‘99 Blade.. I have slowly restored it back to factory. Regardless of the other bikes I add to my collection, I’ll be keeping the Blade. Would love a 92/93 white/red/blue version...
Remember the Urban Tiger Blades back in the day, had only just passed my test & was out of reach. Classic 👍
Top ride/review
Had a 99RRX , best bike i ever had. Miss it so much😢. Great review👍
That looks really sweet for a 30yr old bike. Sounds pretty nice when you open her up. Always heard good things about the 954, will look forward to that.
Great review, good to see an older bike, credit to Adam. Takes me back I had a 1995 Tiger Blade......ah to be young again🤣👍🇦🇺🍺
Loving your work here Chops! Keep it up 👍🏻
@5:30am 1st Jan 2000 I rode one of these flat out along the A120 through Stansted airport, on my way to work there. As no aircraft were allowed to fly (due to the millenium bug) until mid day. I would like to claim this mileniums land speed record, for the first six hours.
Still got mine, bought it new 1993, red/white/blue, paid £7800, only has 23k on it , was great at Isle of Man back in the days , stage 1 dynojet,filter,micron end can( looks tatty now) got a new Beowulf end can in box to go on when needed , still have original end can also stainless headers , still got original down pipes , pin holed at collectors , but still reparable , complete bike starts/ runs/ works as it should , waiting for it going up in price and will probably sell on , but may regret that like I did selling my yam rd 250 air cooled and 2x 350 early lc’s , one in standard red/ white trim the other with black/red/ white speed bock paint and micron spanny’s on it , and a yam fz750
Great video chops fantastic bike Adam stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻
Incredible machine. Thanks for the great video.
Great looking and sounding bike, the paint finish looks amazing.
Stunning bike, Even in 2020 the 93 blade is still an animal! The first blade I rode was the urban camo.. the first blade I owned was a 99 rrx with the 16” front wheel
Gorgeous bike, Sounds amazing thats what i love about the old bikes, Thats why i love my 96 ZX7R
My dad got a urban tiger 🐅 bk when i was 12🏍 20 odd years later and im bombing around on a cbr400rr. My dads still got his such cool bikes😎👍🏻
I had the Urban Tiger Fox-eye version - swapped to it from a VFR750 and couldn't believe the difference. I later switched to the first R1 which was better but not that much. Happy days.
Absolutely stunning bike! Definitely a keeper.
Loved this vid Chops! So many memories of my old blades,, I had a 95, followed by and 98 and then a 02 loved them all especially the 02 wish I still had that one
The 954 what a machine got one stored away with 3800 kilometers 🇨🇦
I wish I hadn't sold mine,☹
Great vid.. loved it.. you should do more old stuff reviews, R1s, Zx7rs and so on....
Bought a mint 954 back in 2013 with the idea of it being future classic.
Unfortunately binned it on the way home 😳
Bought a 2nd gen RSV once my injuries and pride healed as the 1st gen I'd owned years before was a stonking bike.
Now onto Tuono 1100
She looks amazing. Always love the rounded headlights more than the foxeye but either way cant complain about the Fireblade's. Seeing your review makes me think about selling my 97 RRV
Loved waken up to this today chops had these back in the day 92,93,95,97, absolutely loved then always said it would be the only bike I would buy again an 92 took about 10 years to happen bought one on Tuesday there buzzing check out earl classics sold bikes still can’t believe it
Choke, fuel tap, carbs (& carb icing, my GPZ900) sofa surfing here on a wave of nostalgia 😃
good to see ya back on a blade chop :)
Great video of a modern classic. Had a 929 blade which was good then got a 954 with full micron system and power commander set up on a dyno awesome bike, but it shook its head a lot even with a Ohlims steering damper fitted, dam good fun though. Nice to see the 360 still works and survived its off.
I'm not sure I could sell my RRV.. certainly more challenging to ride than a modern bike but infinitely more rewarding.. A set of Bridgstone S21s and you're winning
Finally a real bike 🏍💨
I still have a 99 919 and a 701 supermoto worlds apart but so much fun
wow beautiful paint work!!!!!!! looks and sounds amazing
bring back memories when i had 97 900RRV fox eye blade i love it
A very nice example of a classic. Well looked after, polished swing arm too? My ZX6R was 20 year old and I think had same negatives but loved it.
Such a epic bike! I've had loads of them over the years, last one was about 6 years ago. Great to see one in such good condition too! I need to get another one, it would look great next to the 916 ☺😇 great video as always mate 😎👍
Great Griz arnt they 👍
Tadao Baba was a great enginer. Smoking, riding and crashing the bikes he desinged. I had 954rr (the last of his baybes) great road bike, weak point transmition. Good point comfortable riding postion for a sport bike, power enough for any mortal, solid brakes,...stearing damper a must have. Great video
what happened to your Transmission? i recently bought one and wonder what i should do or avoid to not get the trans damaged.
@@user-jt6nw6wm5q It wouldnt stay in 3rd gear on heavy accelariton. 3rd gear cog was worn so i sold the bike. I would have to rebuild the gearbox in order to do that you have to take the whole engine out,....it had 50000km when the problem started. If you buy one look for one with low miles/km if possible and that the previus owner didnt ride it like an idot in my case that was me. If You have one be gentle with the gear changes it is not a racer. Let it warm up before you ride it and hope the previus owner took care of it. Over all for me great bike. Good luck 😁
Absolutely stunning.
I own a 95 CBR 90RR and I love it its by far the best bike I've ridden
You could just sit there looking at that bike for hours and not get bored
Ahhh, so this is were the engine for my 919/Hornet comes from. That is a hell of a lineage.
I really loved my 919. I miss it. 🏁
Ours is being fixed by me today and it’s been running fine since 94
The first one I came up against was at snet in the 1300 production race,it was so new the guy had drilled his own holes in the rep fairing and ran it in in warm up lol,my FZR100RU could have it on the straight but the blade was way better on corner entry and got out quick,early 90s was a great era for club racing :)
Wowza 😍another brill vid chops 👍
I used to own the 1992 Balde called CBR900RRN with the original overhead camshaft !!
The faster you go, the less pain on the wrists...lol !!
The Tank is made to keep you on the bike when abruptly come down from speeds of 270 Km/h to 90 Km/h in a couple of meters.
Great to see a nice example really is a classic bike , pretty rare here in New Zealand
Lovely bike, the owner should be proud of himself. Great review.
Love my 96 900rr, bike was WAY ahead of its time. 123hp like 70tq and under 400lbs.
The 2003 pewter-and-black FireBlade CBR954RR, to date, is my personal favorite of all in-line four sport bikes. It is such an elegantly designed, comfortable motorcycle to ride, with a healthy performance edge, to boot. In 2004, I rode one briefly as a loaner from a mechanic, while my SuperHawk 996 (FireStorm) was being rebuilt and upgraded. After the 954RR, Honda altered the FireBlade to have a much more aggressive rider position. That does not work for me, since I experienced a serious back injury in 2004, and I must ride a motorcycle with a sport-touring (3/4) rider position. Whoever recommended that you ride the CBR954RR was not kidding: It is an excellent choice for those with a hankering for a stylish sport bike. I almost bought one instead of again tricking-out last year my 1998 SuperHawk (FireStorm). Both bikes rock!
Great looking and sounding bike!
Right on all fronts, gr8 vid. I've owned 3 Battleax s21's on mine. I like the carbs and the fueling, it sings at 10k thats where u ride it when u want to feel it as it's best.
I miss my 95 Urban Tiger Blade. Still one of the best paint schemes!
Bloody mint bike 👍👍 . Made me feel old 🥺
Beautiful bike. Great video 👏
Sounds absolutely amazing.
You haven't heard a Daytona 955i triple w/ a TOR exhaust and that unique spine chilling induction sound WOT !
They’re just so pure, and so involving to ride. No electronic nanny nonsense going on. Nothing to save you, but your own riding skill. There’s something to be said about that.
The First 900RR was the first bike I ever truly lusted over.
Ever new model was my new favorite up until the 954RR which is what I ride today.
They are all special imho
Nice review - proper riding
Prices have been on the up for a while now with some people really taking the mick. Had a purple and yellow one but now have a single sided Blade.....cracking, real world bikes.
What a gorgeous looking bike! :-)
great content. more of this please
Beautiful sound 👌🏍
Literally just edited my review of an original 1992 I just rode. It stands up in today's world.
I had the 1994 model, L620Ryb...Fantastic bike, Happy day's.
Good video Lamb Chop. The bike looks and sounds great.
Thanks Lyn 👍
Enjoyed that Chopsie - I love an older bike me, having ridden a few in the past year (including our mate Lyndon's CBR900RR) I entirely concur with your observations - ignore all the electronic gubbins and bikes really haven't come that far in 30 years, if you get the basics right then a bike like this can be equally as enjoyable as a modern day sport-bike. If only I had more room in the garage!!! Right I'm off to peruse Autotrader.....
TheMissendenFlyer you better not be lying...DO IT!!!!!😂
Really appealing isnt it getting something like this... wish I had more room!
@@LambChopRides It sure is....so many options too 'Blade, SP1/SP2, R1, GSXR, etc etc all at highly doable prices - if I had the room I'd have one of each!
Have a 93 900rr 2007 1000rr, and a Kawasaki z750 which is a sewing machine compared to the other two, but the 900 is the one that really does it for me
I have 2003 954 RR mint with 3800 kilometers with volocity stacks and full Akrapovic system and PC3, 142 rwhp. It's the best of the blade was know to be 600 on steroids. Only update to do was put forks from 2004 model radial calipers direct bolt on, dirt cheap eBay. She's stored well, one day it will be collector
Appreciate you sharing your moment with us love bikes want a blade
