    A really lovely looking bike there, we met at Kais suspension when your blade was in for its suspension and i was having my 954 done, your blade was very nice indeed but this ZX is simple eye candy. I have also been to invisible patterns at Goldborne who did a great job protecting the bits i wanted on my new CB1000R. If you have the ZX suspension set up again at Kais i may even get to see this bike ! A great buy.

    First impressions are as expected.

    The low down Torque does not match the Blade but it's not lacking for everyday overtakes even in 6th gear.

    Obviously I aint explored the upper reaches yet but being as it should be 15-20 bhp up on my Track ZX which is also Mental I doubt I'll have any complaints.

    Best suprise are the Mirrors, they are ACE in comparison to the totally useless Blade Mirrors, a real license saver IMHO

    I see my old Blade is up for sale already!
