A friend of mine had one the same, it got knicked and trashed sadly. That was the end of the YSOP. He's now got a GSXR after an interlude with a Buell........

Shape and colour.

I've always had a bit of thing for Fireblades.

The 954 shape being my favourite.

Cloesely followed by the last incarnation of the original bike the legendary Urban Tiger.

Still looks awesome today:

The RR7 RCV inspired looks are pretty nice too.

Nah didnt get rid of it tim....the old girl needs a bit of luv so is off road at mo...gonna spend the next few mnths tinkering slowly away in my buddies garage...there are a few jobs i have never done before that need doing..things like head bearings etc that i would like to have a crack at... Hope to have it ready again by spring when i will either use it as a toy or sell it....not sure yet :?

Kitch : To be honest i have always liked blades from afar, but they were too mainstream for me...i have always liked to have somit "different" to everyone else...hence the mz's i have had, the 90's superfour, the storm, the rgv etc.

That urban tiger scheme is my favourite blade(coz its kinda rare)....I remember my sis's B/F had one back in the day and its even better for real than in any pics i have seen since :)

Nice buy. The 954s are widely regarded as one of the best Blades to buy!

Good luck with it!

What sort of money, if you dont mind me asking?
