    To think I was actually considering changing it next year but it's just too good! Everyone will have their own opinion on different bikes but for me the blade ticks every box :D The choice was ether get a new different bike next year or keep what I've got and get another bike for track and it looks like I will be getting a bike for track :) She was looking good after a ride out today so couldn't help taking a cheeky pic.....

    No wonder you love it, they are great bikes and yours looks ace.

    Funnily enough, went out on mine last week and had an awesome ride and realised just how much I love the bike.

    Always been a bike slut in the past, changing bikes very frequently. Had this bike now for just over three years and have to say it I could not ask for a better handling bike that suits me and the type of riding I do. Mind you I have spent a few pennies on her.

    Looks good, especially with those gold forks.

    That's the same thoughts I get. I've had 4 bikes in the space of 2 years (the blade being number 4) so a bit of a bike slut myself haha certainly no intentions of changing this one though. I would like some mods though, might get an exhaust to fit over winter :D

    It was a race fit I was thinking of getting :) Never thought of the seat cowl though, that would look pucker! Cheers for the comment

    If you don't mind a bit of noise you will love the racefit

    To give you an idea of the racefit, black edition with growler end cap

    Whites wheels would also look great! Anyone changed to white on that colour scheme?

    Seen plenty of the earlier hrc models with white wheels but can't say I've seen any of my model with them. Would be good to see.

    on a black bike crazy fool! ;)

    Not sure it would look good on the HRC either, they put black wheels on them to speed it up a bit :D

    Lol I have too say i am lucky as my wife has got a soft spot for her too or I would probably spend all winter groveling for forgiveness and be forced to make up for the time I spent pampering my Blade ;)

    I know who wears the trousers in my house so I just stick to my leathers :D

    Comes with the exhaust, they do sell separately but not sure how you might fit it as part of the bracket is fitted to the exhaust and other half goes to the manifold
