    After going to the Bike show yesterday and trying on for size lots of bikes from the R1, Busa, 1299S, RSV4, and thought I would look at the Ariel Ace just as it looks very nice. I sort of fell for the Ace.

    I was looking for something with a fairing. Comfy but something about the Ace just does it for me. Even without the fairing.

    Anyone have one?

    I did managed to speak to a owner there who has just put his bike in for the first service. Said he loved it and nice to have something many others don't.
    I liked the looks of it, it felt good when sitting on it. I love that it's limited and not many with have the bike. Exclusivity of it.
    I'm happy it's got the 1200cc Honda engine. Can I live without a fairing. maybe. a test ride will see if it's a bike I want to spend my money on.

    The only thing that comes with limited and exclusive bike's is the price. Which would mean I would be selling the Blade.

    I shall me looking at test riding this bike as well as a few others in the Spring.

    Just wanted to see if anyone has one. thought on owning one.

    They look awesome and superbly engineered, I'm pretty sure there's a long waiting list the new blade might be here by the time you take delivery.

    Would give me time to sale the Blade :( But hoping to pop down as it's not far and have a look with the wife in the new year and test ride in the Spring.

    Just looking http://www.arielmotor.co.uk/ace/ - like the styling. The range must be terrible with a 12 litre tank and a tuned VFR engine?! How much are they?

    they do a small medium and large tank. So you can have 12, 17 or 20 ltd tank. I would go for the bigger one.

    Everyday bike no, but my bikes are just toys and something I enjoy so not going to be used that much. my 4 1/2 years old blade I have from New has only got 8.5k on it
