Not for me...prefer the previous. I don't like the panel under the seat, too much paintwork and looks cheap. The styling of the tank isn't as nice. Too much missing off the fairing by the engine cases, although it will be easier to change the oil without removing the fairing. Looks like a morph between the 07 and 11 blades, and a step backward. It looks older than the 2008-2011 models for some reason??? The white front mudguard on the red looks nasty. Sorry.
I think it looks better in black than the red. It is the side fairings that put me off the most in terms of looks, too much engine showing and the front edge just looks out of place.I am sure that it is an excellent bike being a Blade, just does nothing for me in the looks department. Perhaps it will grow on me when i see it in the flesh.
Wouldn't mind the instruments. They look nice. Not radical enough of a change for me to dilute Jr. V's inheritance fund.
I think Honda should actually ask people to go onto there sites and vote for the best color ...all the HRC models and of course the Repsols and nice .... but that WHITE mudguard yeah yuk ....could not have a black bike because of the scratches and marks they get ..... i am the same if they brought out another Repsol just now i would be explaining to the Mrs that i am sorry and i will never do it again.. malarkey
yep but they have brought out the poor colours now , then next year they will do a repsol which will keep the old blades selling for another year until they bring out a totally revamped blade in 2014, if past models history is anything to go by.
I like the dash but not as much as the one I have on its way soon.... touch screen baby Oh Yeah!!! Watch this space....lol
