    What do you expect when you buy a second hand bike.

    In future I suggest that you go and test ride a brand new demonstrator bike on factory settings before buying a second hand bike. That way at least you know whether you like the bike in std settings before buying one.

    Why would you trade in an S1000RR for a blade?

    The Blade is a brilliant bike but the BMW offers enhanced performance if your ridding skills allow.

    That's why 98% of riders are better off going for a Blade rather than an S1000RR

    Is that statement issued as proof of the adage that "96% of statistics are made up on the spot" or do you have some empirical evidence to back you up?

    It was based on statistical analysis which I undertook within 30 milliseconds of reading the post . LOL :D

    Meaning very few riders have the ability to utilise the additional performance that the S1000RR offered over the Blade.
