Sorry m8, can't say I know much about the early blade as mine is a 2000 bike
Saying that I know mine has shaken its head a few times when hard on the gas, but sure I rem the early blade was known for it!
So yes I would deffo say the earlier bike will break your thumbs lol

Urban Blades are the best coloured bike Honday ever made

Here is mine in its old spec from a couple of years ago , currently undergoing better improvements ( although I did spec it as best as I could for a road bike , but theres always better )





Honda FireBlades are bullet proof , but look for the obvious like frame damage , leaky fork seals .

Best thing is just to get a test ride

Of all the bikes Ive owned , I love my Tiger the best

Yes bike would benefit from steering damper
