    Looks nice but unsure why dealers feel the need to add the race stickers on the front. I know one dealer asked what number needed to go on their new Repsols ( 26 or 93) why add any number just leave it to the new owner to either ask for them to go on or not

    I think it looks better with the number 93 on the front, instead of just the red nose cone.

    I agree however we offer the option of what sticker if any you would like to be applied.

    soo disapointing that all honda could come up with for an old bike in 2015 was a paint / sticker job.. lets face it, everyone of us is looking, no drooling at the new R1, Duc 1299, BM S1000rr etc.. not this.. what a let down..

    You just know though, that the next generation blade is going to be something special.

    Reg blade circa 12.5k reg r1 15k

    Sp 14.5 (maybe less) R1M 18k

    Off the top of my head.... Honda prices may be little lower than rrp but I bet you can get money off a blade, can even get an r1 ;)

    Seems all other manufacturers of 'leading' bikes, ducati, aprillia, now yam, BMW base models are 15k and S versions are 18-20k it's gone bonkers.

    Zx10 being the only other real value for money but high performance bike.
