Looking to buy myself a blade, preferably something in hrc colours, upto or around 15k would be nice. I've been searching the classifieds, eBay, gumtree, biketrader ECT for months but it just seems to be the same bikes for sale. Anyone here thinking of selling up soon? Budget around £5-6k Cheers
Hi Peter. During my random looks yesterday, I saw some nice low mileage 2011s in HRC scheme, (excellent colour choice, by the way) but all in the 7K range. I've been considering this one myself, but have to curtail my spending at the moment. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CB...sh=item41da9af5cc:g:xkEAAOSwEW9afHoY#viTabs_0 and there's this brilliant one owner 2011: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CB...m=192462623213&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
Both lovely examples, I had an rr4 in those colours about 7yrs ago, was an absolutey fantastic bike and the main reason I'd like another, albeit updated version. That 11 looks perfect, just slightly out of my price range
For your £6k budget, you should be abled to get a 2012 RRC onwards model - a lot of useful improvements - wheels, suspension, clocks etc. 2014 RRE onwards has futher improvements again. I wouldn't let mileage bother you - I've done loads of miles on Blades and had zero issues.
A 2012> bike would be fantastic. Mileage isn't a massive issue mechanically, it's more the associated cosmetic wear and tear. I would certainly consider a slightly higher miles bike, providing it's been looked after!

Had an rr4 quite a few years back and loved it. Last bike was a big bang R1, that thing was really quite frisky.
Congrats, Peter. Looks great. Black wheels are a bit slower than white, but you'll hardly notice the difference!!
