    Well on the way home today I stopped in past a local dealership to have a quick look at an 04 blade in black with the grey/silver belly pan and ......
    Yes a deposit was left as i managed to cut a deal. Part exed the duc like but I have managed to get my blade for the princely sum of £1300 !! :cool::D

    Not collecting it till the end of Sept though
    Gonna be a long wait !
    Its an 04 model , 2 owners , full honda dealer service history and completely standard apart from a single seat cowl and a black screen. Will put on an exhaust , tail tidy etc but other than that will just enjoy it .
    As soon as I saw it and once the guy started it up I knew I had to have it !! :D
    Happy days
