    Hey guys I'm Haydn, just got myself an 08 blade with just less than 4000 miles on it and I was just wondering if you guys have any tips for me regarding this bike and anything worth knowing about it?

    Looking forward to being part of the blade community!

    Welcome to the forum. Take your time getting used to your new bike.

    You'll find that 3rd gear is really useable and you don't have to dance up and down the box too much. You get plenty of engine braking along with acceleration out of bends by using 3rd and it becomes a very quick twist & go :rolleyes:

    Welcome matey, had mine just over two yrs after passing my test, 09 Repsol.

    Leave it std, like I didn't !! Otherwise it's a never ending slippery slope of mods n add-ons!! :D

    Enjoy the forum, most are helpful for any good or daft question, I've had a few.
