    Hi, my name is Ben, I live in Berkshire and I picked up my on Saturday. I've wanted a blade since I started riding and it's an amazing bike.

    It's got a scorpion can, hel lines and R&G crash bobbins. I've not had a good look yet but I'd be interested to know if there is an easy way to tell if it has a power commander, as the pipe is just a slip on I'm presuming that no real re-mapping is necessary but I'm not sure as this is my first bike with injection / ecu.

    It's a great bike, a lot different to my other bike ('94 VFR750)
