So after selling my MT10 in August last year and more recently my wife's MSX125 I was settled on not having a bike this year as an 18 month old and a 5 month old were going to take up any free time that i had! A few nice dry days and the itch was growing, trawling the classifieds, texting about a couple of potential bikes. Id always had an interest in bikes from the early 90's (I'm 31 do the sums lol) but never really thought about buying one. A WANTED post on Facebook and quite a few replies led me to Armoy where i picked up this beautiful Northern Ireland registered 1993 Honda Fireblade. It may not see too many outings but it's there if i feel the need and something I'm certain will only go up in value. Just a couple of phots at the minute, but i will update with some more soon...

Thanks for reading!

Awesome. I grew up with a 93 ‘Blade as my Sunday morning alarm clock with the aul lad starting it in the garage every Sunday morning so as I’d get up and cut the grass in the hope of getting out for a run on the back of it. His was the black, purple and orange and only had 6k miles on it when he parted with it 2 years ago. He went to England and bought it when it was 2 or 3 weeks old from a guy that didn’t seek permission from the wife first and then fitted the Micron system and had it dynojetted.

This was a sad day for the parish:

H'OKane's is where this one came from too lol It was by no means cheap, but it certainly won't depreciate in value that's for sure!

Were you lucky enough to see round their collection? Some absolutely stunning machinery on show!

Yes he showed me a nice collection of maybe 15 bikes or more, then said he another 60 in a shed up the road somewhere! The Agostini signed MV with the Ago reg was a nice touch.
