Yeah maybe so rob , but still went and bought a steering damper the next day for about £25 . Never got one again and my pants remained clean from then on. Lol not like dampers of today £500 +
That is why i bought my blade as it is easy to use as an everyday tool and great fun too. Great bike! As the Rossi once said...electronics just spoilt the fun
Have to say I am not a fan of the advanced electronics other than steering damper. It's what I like about the blade too. Get on and ride. I wouldn't even have a sat nav on a bike never mind traction control, anti wheelie, launch control etc.
Is the blade the best selling sports bike? As I though it was. Maybe honda need to drop their abs and fit Bosch unit though. I tested the blade, s1000rr and triumph Daytona 675. Daytona felt awkward and rough unless you hammered it. though 30,40,,50was shit S1000rr was great tc did kick in but when ridden back to back with blade the blade didn't need it.s1000rr only better above 120mph But the biggest difference was I was told by a race mechanic if I was only going to keep for a year buy a s1000rr if I wanted to keep it for few years buy jap as easier to fix don't need to go main dealer as you do with triumph or bmw
I'm getting all misty eyed and reminiscent about uncontrollable LC tank slappers now. No amount of electronics could bring one of those down surely! I did one and went through a brick wall lol
