Hi, I am selling my Blade. I hurt my neck and back a few months ago, and while it does not hurt while riding, I just need to ease off the sport position a little bit, as my osteopath has stated that in the sport bike position, you limit the motion of your neck, and of course, while riding in traffic, I need to turn my neck often. Also, I can't bear to put simple miles on her in traffic for another summer. I mean, really... 30 traffic lights each direction, every day, on a Blade?? Poor baby... I rather give her to someone who can really ride her... Final reasons... I can really do with less expense, less monthly payments, less insurance, etc... Also I cannot ever park in London, and what's the use of having a bike if I can't ride it where I want to go?? I could bear to lose a £3000 bike to thieves / crash damage, but not £7000... That would hurt me too much... The really rubbish part is I am looking for a 2003 CBR600F, just like the one I sold to Dobles to buy the Blade last year... I am not putting much information of the bike until I put it up in the for sale section... I am going for a dealer deal, as that way I can trade in and make it simple... Unless someone on here wants it... But I have to price all the extras, cuz she's got ALOT of nice extras... I will probably take all extras off and sell them here. This has taken a long time for me to finally write this thread... It's been a couple months I've been thinking about it, even spoke to Freedom of Choice about it the other day over a coffee... But I think it is the right thing for me at this time. I rather look forward to thrashing a 600 again... PS I am not even asking if I can stay on the forum. You can't kick out your family!!!!!!!
Thanks mate... Right now, she's a dirty bitch that likes to be spanked!!! hahaha But some soap and love and she'll be arright...
I think the only way around your problem is to hand the bike over to me foc and i will try to pick you up a runabout this way means your bike has a good home less insurance and no worry about it being nicked .I might have a word with old Freedom for approval.What do you think?
Shame to see it go, but sounds like your minds made up and it suits your lifestyle so I hope it all works out well for you
*GASP* Haha, yeah it really is a shame to let her go, but it just makes sense right now... I'll have another in a few years... When I am old like you guys, and need something easy to ride fast... hahahah!!! Just really does not make sense in the middle of London town... Maybe I should just move out of the shitty city?!?!?!
You will have to give u a good write up on going from 1000-600 as most of us have gone the other way. I reckon I would have more fun on a 600 as I never use any where near the full power of the blade
Ive ridden all sorts of roads mate ten times as many miles on a 600rr than on the blade but the bigger brother is miles more fun!
You might not of mate he sold it before you joined but he still pops in now and then this 1 isnt too bad either though
Have you thought of trying a set of helibars before you sell it, might be worth a try for the sake of a few quid
