    Hi all, a Blade virgin here lol.
    After 8 yrs of Gixers, 600's and a K3 1000 I have decided to go for a Blade this time around. I want an RR5-6, my mate has a 2004 model and he swears it's the best bike he's ever owned, I have had a few rides on it and I like it, not as visious as my K3 Gixer but more comfort and anyways it's a Honda so it will last lol

    Just upgraded to a 2011 Blade after 4yrs on a CBR600RR-7 , 2yrs on a CBR600F-Y and a life time in the dirt. I was nervous about the extra power but the blade is soooooooo smooth !

    Its way nicer to ride than my 600 , the power feels more controllable low down and pull the throttle and it feels like warp speed lol. Best thing i done trading in for the Blade!!!!
