2016 Blade SP

Looks amazing with the tri colour and new red belly pan which differs it from the 2014 scheme. Is ABS but I think I am gonna have to say f&@? It and just get one. Look at 2016 range on hunts website

 

Those colours look really well, be nice to see it in the flesh....wonder if youre thinking of buying one if he'll let you sit on his RCV as a sweetener

 

Looks good http://www.huntsmotorcycles.co.uk/2016-honda-motorcycles.htm

 

Agreed on the paint and what do you get for the extra £2.5k? Pipe, rearsets, tail tidy is that it?

 

I still prefer the repsol colour but the tt looks good too.

 

I don't think there are any 2014 sp's left or at least that's what I was told by a couple of dealers. Having said that I was asking for non abs.

 

Abs is always an issue right? I was a bit sceptical when i bought my bike but i had to be more clever with my braking.

 

is not just the bellypan in red

 

ABS is compulsory now for all 2016 on-wards models

 

There is a non abs version in black only this year.

 

Which will be an MY2015 model (or earlier) sold & registered on a 16 plate or later even if it/they remain un-sold.

My statement still stands

 

Just seen this :-

"This is one most people have heard of; from 1/1/2016 all new-model bikes over 125cc will need ABS, while smaller bikes must have either ABS or a combined brake system. As with the rest of the rules, there’s a year of grace for carry-over models, but come the start of 2017 everything must be in-line with the regulations to be allowed to be sold."

so maybe as the Blade is not an all new-model they can still sell non ABS? Hope so!

 

Are all model year sp's the same other than paint and very few without abs?

 

Mad nearly 17k better of buying a low mileage used SP and bolting the parts on and saving ££££££££££
