    Sold my black 09 to a mate and ordered a new 12 model in white . Thought long and hard about changing to another manufacturer but thought I would miss the Honda build quality etc. After reading the Bike magazine review that was the clincher . Dont know when I am getting it as I only ordered it today but will let everyone know .

    Nice 1 mate.

    Is it the Hrc colour? I dont think I,ve seen it in just white. It would be nice though.

    I've always wanted a black blade ever since I started riding 20 years ago so that's what I went for when I finally got my 2012 bike. Got to say though that the white one looks the nuts.

    Be interested to hear if it's any slower in white. I'd imagine it is. Let us know.

    make sure you order venture shield paint protection film to keep it looking mint - and the large rear hugger in pearl sunbeam white to go with it.
    Add an HM Quickshifter before you get a can - much better gain / impact.

    Well done on placing order - nervous few weeks now I guess waiting for it to arrive.

    What Mr B said!

    Are you going for the cut or no cut bungs. I see the no cuts are like £250!
