    Well I bought Betty in December 2012 and have now done 6000 miles on her. Been to a main Honda dealer today and got talking about part exchange for a brand new HRC and was offered exactly the same price I paid for her. I knew I got a bargain when I bought her.

    Strange,,,,,I had the same phone call yesterday from the dealer offering me the purchase price on the bike? apparently they cannot get hold of rr6 models and when they do they sell within days. Bought with 7600 on the clock now 9100 in 10 mths. I declined cannot afford a new 2014 blade.
    I think they will recoup some of the money if 2014 model is bought on the never never.

    Don't think anyone makes much on 0% 'Never Never' which Honda still run on new Blades.

    When you say 'What you paid for it', what roughly was that, £10.5k and was that against a list price 2014 model.?
