    They look better in the flesh, even a 95 NSR125 looks good :D

    Probably that’s one of the great sophisticated upgrades Honda did for the 2015 model.

    I must admit when I first seen it photo form I really liked it but then I saw one in the flesh and didn't think it was as nice :confused:

    The race bike version looked better but then don't they allways! I like it, mix of old and new just my cup of tea :)

    I think it's partly an age thing but I doubt there are that many on here who would nt have seen the original and wanted one. I did -but ended up getting the less iconic purple turtle,( hope they don't make the new 2016 re vamp in that scheme ) which was still a booming ride, I recall many happy miles tucked in with those big cowl/ screen stabilisers in my peripheral vision. I saw the new one in the showroom a few months back. To be honest I was totally unimpressed, looked too... brown and random, the colours don't really fit with the new lines, well not in my world they don't.

    I remember seeing the original Urban Tiger in my local bike showroom and thinking to myself "How on earth can they ever improve on something as great looking as this"......... I wonder what the Blade will look like in another 20 years
