Man did I luck out this weekend. I just picked up one of these for $700. It's a 94 with OEM 92 fairings (black and grey) 20k on the clock. Guy said it "didn't run" and at that price, I was happy to take it and sort it out. The only thing wrong with it was it was outta gas. Unbelievable.

I started riding a year ago, and got a 1999 CBR900RR for a steal. It’s such an amazing motorcycle that still looks great next to modern machines.

An outrageous piece of kit in its day and still a serious ride for a good pilot. Honda making a point!

It always cracks me up when the bike that someone is reviewing is older than the person reviewing it.

Still one of the best looking sport-bikes ever made!

Hey man, love your down to earth bike reviews. Thanks for bringing the classics back to the spotlight :)

Dream bike, I’m in love with the eyeball headlights and the analog dash. It reminds me of my Miata in those aspects. Modern day digital dashes are nice but something is beautiful about the classic gauges. Those headlights give it a cute look in my opinion

This was a revolution when it came out. Everybody wanted one. I feel the looks have stood the test of time.

It is so beautiful. I dont care if newer models are faster. I want to die in style at least xD iam totally getting a 90s one!

it's not a "used bike". It's a legend. Treat it with respect.

This bike was the bike that got me in them! I ride one as a passanger and was beautiful, the sound, the style, it is so muscular. Congratulations what a great bike you got, i want one of those.

They’re just fantastic. It was one of the most satisfying ownership experiences I’ve had. It’s difficult to articulate just how great these are. It’s much like owning a sports car of the 90s: responsive and powerful, but it does things smoothly. It just pushes along through the revs. Comfortable. And it has a suppleness and a lightness to it. I would love to have another someday. Great video, loved the 90s outro too lol.

I was waiting so long for another video of the Used Bike Reviews ahaha Keep up the good work, love the channel :)

Used to have this exact bike! Still looks awesome!

I really love this bike. The white wheels, the dual circular headlights, storage under the seat and she is just so damn good looking. I'd probably get the larger front tire but you have a nice collection sir. I'm subbing

991 miles from new 😳 Wish it was mine

I had one of these in 1993 , completely polished the frame and swingarm, full D&D exhaust, stage 3 jet kit , RK gold chain, etc. Very lightweight with good power back in the day !!

I got the 98 model and I love it

Very good Video. But for a 60 year old rider ,they are not the best. i come back from rides with nothing but aches & pains. But i still love this old girl. I have a 92, with only 20 or so thousand miles on it, with it all being Standard apart from has you say from the rear shock. But the best thing is, that i can take mine up into the Yorkshire dales for a steady run & get 60MPG, and thats with the occasional blast to get it cleared through. Keep up the good work.

I love my 96 RR-T its an amazing bike. The most desirable in the UK/Europe is the 92/93 original or the 96/97 updated "fox eye" with the updated 919 engine. The 893cc early fox eye in the Urban tiger colours are also sought after.

Loving your series on this bike, I'm definitely using you as a reference when I start my project

I remember drooling over these in the showroom. I still have an 87 Yamaha RZ350, and an 87 Honda Hurricane 1000F. I just recently acquired a 2004 cb1000, but the engine needs some work.

Good video. I found one with under 5000 miles, a bit used and abused, but I've got it running pretty well now. Same paint combo as your red/white/blue one.

I love my SC28 ... it's fast but not so fast that it kills you immediately ... she forgives mistakes ;) I drive 3500km each season (6 month) almost at 60.000 km and it drives without any big maintanance. Wheels on it ... oil into it ... its incredible ... this Japanese engineer was a genius

Great to see some practical sport bike review again! Great review of such a gorgeous motorcycle! You are right about fairings and other bits and pieces! On my VFR400 NC30 UK Spec from 91’ it is really difficult to find genuine mirrors, license plate and side blinker brackets as all the genuine ABS fairings! When you do prices are just absurd! Also the stickers are almost impossible to find in case you want to re-spray the fairings! You can find decal replicas but not same font, size or colour most of the times! Besides, back then fairings didn’t have clear coat on top of decals, with exception of gas tanks. So yes, better a non runner but cosmetic complete and clean bike than the opposite!

I have stock 1992 U.K. model 900rr. On the front forks it has controls for rebound damping, compression damping and spring compression. The rear shock has the same. I know that it’s not gonna happen, but it would be great if Honda brought out an anniversary model for 2022. Fantastic bike. Love it.

Beautiful video man, loved every minute.!

Great review again man! Good communication style, easy to understand. Also this one of the best looking bikes of all time.

You are right about the plastics becoming brittle with age. It is absolute pain on modern classics of this era. On one Honda I have from this era I have replaced one particular panel three times in the past year because the fixing points disintegrate. While I am fortunate in that the panel is still available and can be bought 'new' from a Honda dealer the last one I bought was actually manufactured 23 years ago. You can see the production date on the back of the panel.

Loved the review and seeing the local landmarks! You drove right by where I work! Keep up the great reviews!

I had bought a brand new one in 1993 when I was 22 years old I had a lot of mishaps with it including burnt main bearings from doing wheelies all day long, eventually it got hit by a car and was destroyed these bikes were crash magnets, mine enjoyed being on its side more than on its wheels

Just found your channel, and enjoying the content.. my ‘99 Blade is stored as it’s winter here in the UK, plus...we’re in a strict lockdown 👎🏼 I am dreaming of warm sunny days when we are free to ride again..

Literally just edited my review of an original 1992 I just rode. It stands up in today's world.

Great review. Man, the temptation to ride that white bike must be overwhelming!

Great upload! Glad to see that that **** jeep moves over for you at 25:57 😬

Very in depth review ! Great looking bike !

I bought that exact bike as soon as it came out. Loved it, but you sat over the front wheel. As least it felt like it. Pure racing performance. I got old and bought VFRs...

Wow !! -- that bike needs to be in a climate controlled museum to preserve the history of this iconic man made machine !!

That's one beautiful bike! Wow, $21,000 & it sold!

Love all the videos, Peter, only now it's time to do a review on the original R1and maybe the RC51, for starters. Keep up the great work!

17.7 inch front discs ?.....Wow....must stop great !.....but enjoyed the video....Thanks.

Awesome work man. Subscribed 👍🏻

Very nice review, glad to meet you in the universe of information, thank you! Just to let you know: I will most like you to show how become the bike after 6-7 x100 rpm ... After those the bike become a sports bike... Engine is getting even better when gets more food 😂 - monster... This machine can go very crazy... Especially after upgrade just the carburettors, more fuel - more air...in Bulgaria 🇧🇬 this bike pass over 180mph get close to 0mph after upgrade!

If I ever get another one of these it’s gonna be an early 90s model.

The early fireblade is my dream bike, I currently own a 1991 cbr400rr my dad owns a 1995 urban tiger

I have a 1997 CBR900RR yellow/purple/white with 13,000 miles. I am the original owner. It's crazy that it's 23 years old. The fork seals are leaking so I have to fix those. Other than that, I still turn heads and people want to know if i will sell it. Thanks for the video!!!!!

Man im sitting here watching this, watching where your riding and the whole time im like wow this place is so familiar, literally riding down ward pkwy into the plaza I didnt know you were from kc haha

:Intro ohhhhhh that sound. those bikes make so much grunt low and midrange.

A very good review thank you. I had a 1995 Urban Tiger, which I used as a daily driver for 5 years in a UK city and it performed admirably. Lightweight, comfortable, very manoeuvrable in heavy traffic. The only small criticism I had was that the alternator had a smallish output in winter months when headlights were on (most of the time for safety) and the battery had a tendency to go flat without noticing. I added a voltmeter to keep an eye on the input. Otherwise, a fabulous machine.

I picked up a 1995 900rr about 18 years ago and completed an engine-out full restoration about six years ago. Videos of it on my local tracks (post restoration) are on my channel if anyone is interested!

I personally love the later versions of this bike that ditched the bland and unoriginal round headlights. To me, round headlights belong on a a Gixxer. The 1995 CBR900RR in purple and gold was my absolute dream bike when I was 15 y/o and I can still remember the huge poster of it I had on my wall!

Nice video. Thanks. I was wondering why some white/blue/red cbr have white wheels and another are black? Thanks

Thank you for the very nice video. Very informative and helpful. Good job 👍.

Also, I wish that Honda would make the original red, white, and blue/purple color scheme available for the new Triple R model.

my second and last bike, pure magic

Love all these classic old bikes and your efforts to re-introduce them. One thing I’d suggest to make your shows more enjoyable is to improve your audio. The sound quality just isn’t great.

Beautiful twin headlight front end. 😍

Beautiful bike!

I really want a dual eye. But having a hrc and urban tiger fox eye I can't justify the 10-18k Aus they're now worth. Think I want a zxr750 dual eye to add to the collection.

Such a beautiful machine

Hey man, great review, I have just picked up two 93 blades that need a heap of work, shame you had to ride trough traffic, I have a mountain range nearby that has about 220 corners for 20kms traveled. I had a 95 ZXR750 back in the day and loved "scratching" up and down, now to get a blade going and get back into it!

Say, that's a nice bike 😁👍🏻

Well Done, but you mistook the 11.7" front disks (296mm) by saying 17.7" front disks. It happens. That would make the disks an inch bigger than the front wheel ;-)

Would love to see you do a review on the zx9r E1 models

@Practical Enthusiast would you ever consider doing a Classic Bike Review on a Kawasaki ZX-9R B model 1994-1997 or a comparison video between the fireblade and the ZX-9R, great video very informitive thanks.

i hope you can review some gixxers in the future.

5:56 People raving about 'radial' front master cylinders clearly haven't got a clue what they're talking about. There is no difference between them with respect to braking performance, the lever pivots about a fulcrum with a pushrod a short distance from that fulcrum to prof=vide a mechanical advantage. The only two things that matter are the pushrod mechanical advantage of the cylinder bore; guess what, they are bout variable no matter the type.

I'm sure envious bro to say the least. Beautiful scenery for riding. Sold for $21k!

28:01 if you wanted to see it going around a corner...sort of

Nice! Would have enjoyed at least one High rev acceleration though.

Memories. I had a 94 black version. #onewheelmotionmc

axial mounted calipers, no inverted forks, weird tire sizing lol. Power is pretty good for today... if you're on a 600 Might be important to mention that the reason you want to change coolant every 2 years is because it becomes acidic as it oxidizes and can corrode your coolant system... not because it "wears out" and doesn't work as well from use.

vrf400 pls ..

DO A REVIEW ON THE Cbr400rr and the RVR400!

i remember when that bike first come out IT WAS THE SHIT it was fast as hell

Ever ridden a ZX-9R? What are your thoughts on them?

I would feel soooo much more comfy using the purple one. I have a 1984 vf500c that is looks nice but is not showroom quality either. I am really comfortable using it and would otherwise be terrified of using it if it was as perstine as that white fireblade

If you're interested in owning the low-mile RWB 1993 CBR900RR featured in this review, then you're in luck! It will be auctioned on Bring A Trailer (www.bringatrailer.com) in about two weeks. I will update this thread when the auction is live. Until then, enjoy the review video and be sure to check out the walk around video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HpAWdFZrbaQ.html

Linda essa FIRE BLADE muito linda

I just bought a CBR929RR and feel like these videos are helpful on what to look for. Is that you riding on the plaza @1928?

I need one. In that colorway.

Very nice bike I have a 2021 rrrr I sill like the old one a lot

muy bonita máquina

thinking about buying one. thanks

17:54 - 18:22 we all felt that

👍wonderfull Bike

You don't have to rejet after switching to after market exhaust. I rejeted mine thinking the same thing and ended up going back to the original jets.

Fireblade magic 🥰👌👌👌👌

I miss my RRN …

Must the cam chain tensioner be removed before removing and reinstalling the cams ?

This video is awesome!!

I went from a Kawa ZX7 to the 900RR...in my opinion the ZX7 was superior in most areas.... especially the aero and the handling..now off to hunting another ZX7. Good looking bike though..

I wouldn’t have my 954 if it weren’t for this bike

great machine

Born as a Japanese only 750pushed to 900 to rule😊 the street😊

❤ great video friend

this Bike would look good with a 98' headlight

Nice review...my only suggestion is there was too much low speed, stop and go city driving. I appreciate your sensible driving style though. 👍

The one problem, you can’t find these or any CBRR that hasn’t been ruined from the idiots who used these as a trick bike.
