    Hey Arthur
    Also the Blade doesn't go bang at 185mph down the Hogs Back, requiring a new £34k engine......LOL
    However, nothing currently compares to a 200bhp Ducati 1098R, 3rd gear wheelies all day long..............pulling away from BMW S 1000 as if they were a 750!!

    Arthur, what's the saying "the good old days"... LOL

    However don't miss having to change Tyres after each track day, changing clutch plates after 500miles, £160 for a pair of brake pads etc
