    I got my blade that I wanted RR6 in red and black. Its completely standard, never seen wet weather, low miles and a meticulous owner, has a tiny amount of paint flake on one of the fairings so will drop it in a bodyshop, is this a regular issue down by the fireblade logo? apart from that the bike is literally showroom condition! pick her up in a couple of weeks.

    As for plans, looking Akrapovic or Yoshimura slip on exhaust, black adjustable levers, carbon heatshields and maybe a tail tidy and heated grips.

    Great looking bike, I've seen the flaking in the same place on a few blades including my own, seems to be a common default
