Original Fireblade - Any Limited Editions?
Discussion
I am thinking of buying the one of the original CBR 900 RR Fireblades.
Either the 1st Model (White/Red/Blue) which most people think of.
OR
The 2nd model which did some nice colors, including the Tiger stripes. (I had one of these and did love it)
As I am buying for investment as well as love for the blades, I wanted to ask if there were any special limited editions on these? Any Race Replicas from the factory?

So....
I have found a 93 Model Fireblade in the UK. The original White, Blue/purple and Red. Colors as posted above.
I think I can get it for 3k and its got honest 28,000 miles on it. Not mint, a used bike, but tidy. I did have the 2nd gen one in 94 in Black and loved it.
The Kawasaki is the nuts the to be honest, the riding position is painful (I am 40 and a ride on a ducati a few years back buggered my hip...riding position for too long). Also, the rear shocks on the kwakers is rock hard.
The R1 is nice in the Blue which it first came with, but in my opinion the first ever Suzkui GSXR 750 (Slabside) and the Blade, really changed sports road bikes and were very iconic.
Also, the blades have a very comfortable riding positing, compared to kwaks and Suzikis. The short wheel base also lends itself well to some serious floaters. I remember working in Feltham years back wheeling from the trafic lights at Term 3 down to the roundabout...rediculous....but very easy on a blade.
I think I am gonna push the button on it today and get my bro to collect it.
Yet again another mail of me convincing myself that it makes sense. The internet is a dangerous thing. : )
