Talking the pre 929 stuff. The classic foxeye ones with 16 inch front wheel. Stuff that goes for about £3k.
Anyone of you boys owned one? I've been having another CBR400/VFR400 idea constantly in my head but after going on a trip down memory lane the other day on a VFR400 I'd forgotten they are stupidly small and the RC390 feels big in comparison (seat height is actually higher than SV650). I always like the look of the original Blade but when I was younger it had a bit of a rep as a cunt of a bike and I was happy enough on the NC30. Now I'm back up to speed with my bike skills I think I should try one as I prefer the 90s aesthetic of bikes.

Ive one in at the moment and another due at the end of the month...They seem to be good news as they're not doing daft money like R1's are. A lot of superbike for fuck all money

Still churning models over in my head. Weird how bike prices ebb and flow. I'm definitely getting rid of the RC390, it served it's purpose and is too slow for me to get any real kicks. Not sure about the SV as it sounds as good as any big capacity, big value V-twin. Won't take much to sort the handling -emulators, springs and maybe jack it up.
Perversely I'm currently mulling an old ZX6R over. It's a lockdown project, nut and bolt job and looks almost like a new bike. It's a 1997 ZX6R though. Then again I owned that 1995 one and that was pretty quick. I'm not bothered about new bikes as most things made in the 90s onwards seem to handle and actually some are quicker than current models.
Fireblade was always one of those bikes I wanted in the 90s though and feels like an itch I need to scratch.
