Hi, I'm thinking about buying a Firebalde that is a 1994, but with a 919 engine from a later blade. Does anyone know what specific year(s) this engine will be from (I can't find anything definitive on the net)?

Said bike also has the speedo connected to the front sprocket and not a cable to the front wheel. Does this pose any problems/questions long term?

[The bike is a streetfighter off eBay that I'm tempted to view]

Thanks Thumbs Up

Lots of bikes take the speedo drive from the front sprocket, that's not a bodge, it's normal.

TBH i'm not sure there was a 919 version, are you sure it wasn't a 929??

919 Is usually a term in the Usa and not the UK I think.
The cable going to the front sprocket wont be a problem.It is turned by
the nut that holds the sprocket in.

November 1995 saw a big revamp unusually for Honda, as the RRT model was released with an all new dedicated 918cc engine


It's the 1995 to 2000 blade according to this site:

It's this shape
