Yup, thats the one, so i wasnt the olny drooler at the time these came out. And i will say it again, that red, white , and blue of yours is the sweetest lookin honda that ever rolled out, i wanted that bike so bad, i still remember sittin on your exact bike, could not get the money up. Hows it runnin? still happy as hell with it?
Hmmm....are you sure you are thinking of the right guy? I have a Red/White/Black '94, not the blue. Maybe I need to change my avatar and sig pictures to a '94.
But yeah, I still love it! It still is my all time favorite bike. Here is the cover of the magazine that I first saw it on. I was hooked!

That red/white/black scheme is SWEET! I'm having trouble finding a right mid for my 94 so I may buy complete plastics in that color from a buddy. He bought his new but went with race bodywork. He's selling the complete plastics for 180 bucks (that's his price to me). I have chrome wheels that have never been mounted, they'd go great with that white.

Good point and great thread Scutfargas.
I actually noticed that our bikes were pretty light while the modern bikes were getting heavier and heavier.
One of the bike mags was comparing the older Suzuki GSXR1000 to the newer ones and while the newer ones had way more power, they were also way heavier than the older bikes.
The original Fireblade really was ahead of it's time in so many ways...and it continues to be a solid runner even against the newer bikes.

Yes, I have a couple of those too. I don't know if there are any legal ramifications of putting some of this stuff up, but I will at least get a few pages up in the next few days.
