    Morning everyone

    bit quick off the mark here but I pick up my first Blade in a weeks time. Had a sports bike itch I needed to scratch.

    have a 2018 sp incoming. After a run on it on Saturday I had to take it. It’s immaculate 3200 miles. Trading in my 890duke r which I’m sad about I won’t lie. Bonkers wee bike and awesome round Knockhill. Bike history started on a cbr125 then a fazer 600, 08 cb 600 hornet and then the duke. Look forward to being back on a Honda. The constant stress and pools of random coolant/oil dropped has taken its toll on me lol. Anyways seems a great place this full of info and help.

    I think a Racefit Growler X would finish that off nicely. ;)

    Afraid I have gone down the Yoshi route. But like you say there’s an exhaust for whatever mood you’re in

    No worries, I hope you like it, they are quite popular and I know a few people that have them. Never been a fan of the way they look myself, but if everyone liked the same thing the world would be a boring place. :D

    Yeah agree. I think the yoshi is slightly quieter. Looks are personal but agree the race fit is a better looking exhaust. Never know I may fit a race fit yet
