My father had a black one when i was younger. Im 20 now. He installed bigger jets than the stock jets and he had a custom exhaust put on the bike. Man that thing used to fly especially around corners. He enjoyed riding along the mountain with all the cuts and bends. He had a buddy with a busa. On the straight the busa would be ahead of him, but as soon as it came to the corners the firblade would anialate. He had to sell it due to financial circumstances after he got divorced with my mother. He still has his old gsxr biker jacket. The blue, white, black and red. Its the original one. He had many people pull him over and offered him loads of money for the jacket but he refused all of them. It has alot of dust on it now tho. I told him to keep the jacket for me until i get a bike.

I remember that at the time it was the lightest bike of all among the 900 cylinders, best weight/power ratio and best acceleration from 0-400 meters and excellent torque at low revs, despite not having a top speed as absurd as the kawasaki zx 9r. This 1992 model, despite its nice appearance (because of the round headlights), oozes fury by turning the throttle cable and adding gear after gear. Exceptional and reliable!

I had a 2003 Fireblade. My buddy had the 1992. I was surprised how "modern" the 1992 version was when we swapped rides. Although not as capable as my 2001 GSXR1000 with race modifications including the front end tweaked by Rossi's former suspension guy and an Ohlins shock, the 92 Fireblade performed well on the track and road over 10 years later. The Kawasaki 750 of that era was also a very capable track bike. Jordan Szoke in Canada raced it well past its prime against more modern 1000cc bikes and did quite well.
