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?
