New blade

Hi All
Was thinking of getting a 2010/11 blade but have been looking at the newer model any reviews on the newer model or am I better off saving my cash

Thanks in advance Stu

 

Had an 09 from new until I changed it for the 20th anniversary model. Engine wise no noticeable difference but suspension wise it's like night and day. New one holds the road better, however old one wasn't bad. I suppose it comes down to which one you like the look of better and money. They are doing some cracking deals on new ones just now but is there an all new singing and dancing one just around the corner ? If there is the deals will be even better.

 

+1 on the handling. i`ve just upgraded to a 2013 from an RR4 and the difference is inbelievable.
Still running in it yet so haven`t really used it in anger as such but from what i`ve seen and experienced so far I know I`ve made the right move
I would say go for it

 

Same bike with different wheels, suspension and dash

 

5 years 0% on brand new 2012 bikes available at hunts in Manchester and they will deliver for £49 is a very good deal, new bike 10,400

 

I had an 06,10 and then a 12 and even a mere mortal like me could feel the difference in the suspension - like Alblade says there's some cracking deals to be had and Hunts seem to be unbeatable?

 

Same, I had an 09 model and now have a 13 model, suspension is 10 times better. Rest is the same apart from the better dash.

 

Don't forget the sexy wheels !

 

Buggers to clean if you ask me compared to the last 3 spoke versions!!

 

Agreed. And they all look the same when they're rotating anyway

 

Hi i popped to brindley honda in wolverhampton and spoke to the sales manager last saturday, he said honda have told him no more blades are coming into the country till next year, they have 1 HRC 20th anniversary left and cannot get any more.They have put the good deal on to get rid of old stock has a new blade is coming out next year.

 

Hunts took last batch of 20 blades I think... And one HRC was delivered to my mates garage last night - deal seamless and his looks mint.

Very envious!

 

Your envious! i've gotta wait another 3.5 days til' mine arrives!!!!! sorry 3.25 days as of now - not that I'm counting!

 

Mr H

You also got to wait till 1st September to ride it? Guessing you waiting for new reg.

 

You'd hope so wouldn't you?

But 3.5 days makes delivery the 26th of August?

It'd would be pure lunacy to register a new vehicle a few days before the new Reg comes out!
