    Matt paint shows off the shape of the new model really well.

    Enjoy

    Nearly went for the red but I thought the black was a bit different.

    It's going in for a quick shifter at the start of the summer and I'll stick a Puig screen on it, but other than a single seat cowl will probably be it.

    Very nice, very purposeful looking. Are you going to put a rad guard on it ?

    Funnily I was just considering that. I'm also thinking of a trip to Hilltop Motorcycles in the summer to see every they can do.

    Cheers. Considering it but I'm a serial px'er, so I tend to not spend a lot on mods.

    Have you stuck a tidy on your SP mate? Something I've been considering.

    Might have to do some more finding out about that one then.

    Just been out and did a quick 6 mile loop. Fuelling was spot on, clutch didn't like been ridden at mid 40's C, out of my road to the main road. Was lumpy or with a bit of throttle wanted to go. Was better when it had warmed up. I thought 1st gear felt a bit shorter, but that could be down to the mode/settings I suppose.

    I thought I'd put it in mode 2 but when I'd got back it was in mode 3?? Still felt like it had got more oomph everywhere than my outgoing Blade though.

    Riding position felt slightly more over the front than my 2015 but otherwise felt very similar.

    Never used Bridgestones before but they felt fine, if a bit over inflated by the dealer. Will have to do a check and probably let some air out. Looking forward to giving them a ragging when the weather warms up.

    Being a lightweight short arse one of the first things I'm going to do once it's got a few miles on the clock is get the suspension setup.

    Overall it felt very Bladey. ;)
