    Variation on a theme but might be fun or even instructive.
    You have a standard blade, even a Repsol, it's brand new and that nice man father Xmas comes down the chimney and he has a box of every conceivable mod or upgrade for you to pick. It must be a sensible one ( as in not some cinema or home cinema hottie to disappear with ) that you can have off him as a present. It can be road or track and price is no issue as long as it's less than the cost of the bike ( so no Pata engines). But then you would need a host of other upgrades as well, so forget that.
    What would you go for? Why?
    Cheers

    Cruise control as fitted to the new s1000rr also doubles up for a paddock speed limiter for the racers!

    Training on riding better and faster. If it has to be a bit of bling though it would be a bike ramo/worktable as the knees aren't what they used to be.

    Santa please bring your socket set as I want you to fix my Blade . .all it needs is a crank shaft ,crank shaft bearings , connecting rod s( may as well throw in 4 pistons and rings when you are at it ) clutch basket, I have a new clutch so you don't need to worry about that.just need them few things fitted and the blade should be sorted. You are my last hope as honda just blew me off :mad:
    thanks and marry Christmas
