    Enjoy, a standard blade is still a very good bike far better than me me or rather my ability, I still have a huge smile every ride and that's what's important.

    Thanks yes it will be more than enough for what I need and although I did few track days on my 600 I won't be doing any on a new blade it will be country roads only and I just preferred the feel of the standard

    Build quality?, don't hold your breath again, my 2014 has suffered the worst corrosion I have seen in 30 years of Honda ownership, even the mirror arms bubbled under the paint and they are fecking ally"

    So far a new exhaust can and 2 mirror arms, and I am still left with rusty fasteners all over and binding brakes during the winter on a weekly basis.

    Sorry mate, but the fabled Honda build quality went out with the tide.

    Just use it as a summer bike and it will be fine.

    image.jpg I think you'll love it. I purchased a standard 2015 Non ABS in Repsol colours and I think it's an awesome bit of kit! My daughter wanted to go on the back, so I wanted the ability to take a pillion.

    I've done a couple of small mods ..... tail tidy, 7x5 plate, hugger and SP seat cowl and intend to do a few more. Beware this forum though, it'll cost you a bleeding fortune in the long run :D!

    After the problems people have had with getting issues sorted on the ohlins I would have gone standard too. Personally I wouldn't have gone for ABS but hopefully you'll have many happy and safe miles together.

    Well it's the 1st abs bike I have had just hoping the safety out weighs the bad points of having it

    As Brett538 says, the bike comes with a sticker pack, however there was Honda part numbers on the edges of the sticker backing so no doubt you can buy them from a dealer ;)
