    So pretty much most on here dislike the looks but like the dash. just what I told honda that at the NEC show. if they keeps the looks I would rather have the BMW1000RR which I like

    Suspension n wheels I'd guess no problem but dash I doubt very much, plus you'd have false milage etc etc

    Showa, who make the BPF and all suspension on hondas, are owned by Honda. honda could have had the BPF at the same time as suzuki & kawasaki but chose not to until they were better than the stuff currently on the blade. i guess it now is.......

    However, galespeed are no lighter than the old blade wheels, and the new ones are considerably lighter, given the reduction in unsprung weight id pay 750-800 for a set in a years time.

    I have all three BST, OZ and Galespeed... The Galespeeds are VERY light wheels I would say lighter than a stock RR8 wheel easy and the Mag Galespeeds are SUPER light.. Marchesini have just produced a new Al wheel same as the WSB wheel (M7 RS) but 2,250.00 a pair or the Mag's M7R at 3,700.00.. :) Best value wheels imo are Braking as they come with disc's.. :)

    That seller is always selling off standard parts . They didn't hang about getting a 2012 model and stripping but did they ?
