This is second place for me, #1 is the white and red 1998 r1. My third place is the black green and golden accented zx-6r (2016ish) which is a lot newer than my first and second place bikes
It's FireBlade with a capital B all later ones (after 2002) were Fireblade , this was in recognition of the ones designed by Tadao Baba the last one being the 954rr
Just bought my 1st 954 about 2 months ago, had been sitting out side a buddies house in his side yard for about 6 years. I paid 700 for it, so far I am about 700 into repairs and replacements parts. I am getting older now So I am turning it into a sit up bike. LSL upper triple and bars with brembo rs front master galfer brake lines and renthal grips. Should be a blast once it is completed and road worthy again. Also replacing all coolant lines, replaced oil, and replacing fuel tank.
I have one exactly like yours, smooth and comfortable unlike my 2000 R1 which is a brute power wise and not very comfortable but the 954 is my daily ride. Beautiful and smooth, I love both but for different reasons.
Congrats! the bike looks great! also note that the steering damper scotts value is five hundred bucks! so was a great deal! Enjoy it. I cant wait to get mine next week! :)
Greetings from UK. I am awaiting a courier to deliver a 2003 model to me with 12000 miles on the clock (blue one). Had an Urban Tiger previously, which was fun being, also, very light. Enjoy your machine. They are incredible.
Another video on UA-cam with a dude that out on a new performance exhaust on it and it sounded great but looked awesome, as he said it "modernized the bike". Looked really good and smaller than those cans
Just bought a 954rr 02 for 1200$ with a cracked case. Got it patched up for only 200$ 23K miles . Btw it’s my first bike 😂. Only ever road dirt bikes every now and then
SladeRR I bought mine a year ago and I’m thinking about boosting it to keep up with the newer bikes, my bike won’t pull a 3rd gear wheelie so to flip it wow 😳 has to be first gear.
2000$????😢 I paid 5500 here in Michigan, the 2nd owner 55 year old man owned since 2011 had 7k miles. Now has 11,500 miles bikes Clean I love it has gpr 2.0 and some other goodies. And all stock parts.
Hard to beat anything for only $800 bucks! If you're handy and can do the work yourself comfortably... I'd buy it if it were me. Especially if it runs already. Good luck buddy!
the 954's have such a nice shape
Indeed they do!
Timeless shape
Still one of the best looking bikes ever made
Yes sir!

Bought a 954rr as my first bike! Fucking insane.
Never. just respect her and you’ll be fine!
I did the same! Bought a 2003 954rr for my first bike too. She’s a great bike
It's FireBlade with a capital B all later ones (after 2002) were Fireblade , this was in recognition of the ones designed by Tadao Baba the last one being the 954rr
Glad someone else knows the history of the 954RR FireBlade
thank you. i think same thing. but it's difficult to type(i'm japanese.not good at english).
Wow didnt know that
2003* my girls still a blade😅
Yep! Mine too! Same as the 2002!

Awesome! Stay safe out there and enjoy your new bike!
You're very brave. As for the stabilizer probably put it on for wheelie control. It's a nice looking bike please keep us updated.
I actually didn't know the stabilizer could be used for wheelie control. That's good to know.
I appreciate the reply!
@@joshuawaddell6640 yup it's help keep the wheel from going all over the place and you bring the wheel down.
@@thebluepickle8456 Ah gotcha, that makes sense. Somehow I first thought you meant it'll help prevent the front end from coming up accidentally.
Just got mine. First bike. Pretty nervous. Supper sick. Exact model. Love it
How have you liked it? I’m about to get one as my first bike
Love that bike!! Enjoy 😊

Beautiful machine buddy, you really lucked out with getting this bike for that price take care of her
Crazy power !

Hey Boss. Thanks, I didn't realize the dampers cost that much. Always good to know!
How are you enjoying your new 954?
I bought one in March for 3200 felt like I paid a lot for mines but it looks brand new and has 17k on it when o bought it. But it’s bad ass runs great

She’s beautiful

so lucky it had a full akra :)
My dream bike 🤤
They're a lot of fun... I don't think you'll regret owning one if you manage to find one!
mate you can get replacement fully painted fairings that are fairly cheap and really nice that paint finish is sketchy
Yep you're right about that on the Steering...
Nice bike
Just bought one 2 weeks ago. Pristine. 12 oclocked it. Now gonna cost me like 800 euro to fix..so pissed off
Yikes... Im sorry to hear that!
Sprockets AndSockets Seany did you nail it in first gear? How did you do that?
@@J2A61 I know I'm not him, but the front wheel is VERY light on the 954 so it can be really easy to loop

The best....
I'm so envious dude, but next year I'll get mine. Moving up from a 600 F4
Nice! I had an F4i not long ago also. The walk around video is on my channel as well.
Good luck!
@@joshuawaddell6640 I have an f4i now and thinkin about getting the 954. How do you like it compared to the f4i?
2000$????😢 I paid 5500 here in Michigan, the 2nd owner 55 year old man owned since 2011 had 7k miles. Now has 11,500 miles bikes Clean I love it has gpr 2.0 and some other goodies. And all stock parts.
Awesome, $5,500 is still worth it if you ask me for a clean, low miles, sweet motorcycle!
@@joshuawaddell6640 yeah there 8k for 22k miles and clean bike here. I think I got a real nice bike for the money
WTF, $2,000 DAYUM ! best Japanese bike ever made.
I really enjoy it!
where do people find these amazing deals
3:54 sums it up.
You're right about that brotha!
Thinking about getting a 954rr with 40000 miles for 800$ is that a good deal it runs need little work as in clip on throttle and stuff
Hard to beat anything for only $800 bucks! If you're handy and can do the work yourself comfortably... I'd buy it if it were me. Especially if it runs already. Good luck buddy!
My first bike
That's awesome 😎
Wait until the fi indicator goes off to start it.
Thanks!
@@joshuawaddell6640 👍🏻
I prefer to do 150 with my head straight up in the air too😂
Haha!
Great video thinking about getting one for 2500
Thanks, would be happy to know if you decide to buy one or not!
If it wasn’t wrecked I hope you did you could ride it for a while and sell it and make money
i need parts for mine bike can u help please. i have the exactly same bike
I'm sorry Terique, I don't have any extra parts to get rid of from mine at this time.
I need cbr 954 second hand engine
Hi, Beautiful Gorgeous Bike... Sounds Sweeeet.... Any Major Problems with yours... How many mile on her... I love to get one... Any Tips....
3:00 try using PlastiDip instead of paint that way you can easily remove it if decide don't want blacked out shield anymore.
Agreed, thanks buddy!
@@joshuawaddell6640 great to share info and knowledge
Ты её продаёшь?А ты где находишься?
I'm sorry, I only speak English.
Al.. owow
Damn 2k can you steer me in the direction of one
