Something a bit Different; A Naked Blade

A photo of a naked Blade, from outside ChiangMai Motorsport shop in Northern Thailand.

 

looks hideous

 

Check the wheels too. Marchesini? And Ducati or Aprilia swing arm?

Not for me though. I lost my penchant for nakedness years ago!

 

It's running slicks too.

 

here's a pic of the swingarm

 

I don't get it! Just looks like someone's forgot to put the fairing on, rather than it looking like a trick naked

 

I need the wind protection

 

Yeah, I think it's the large frame that catches the eye.
I quite like the single-sided swingarm tho'

Also, could attract abuse here, but I quite like some aspects of the CB1000R

 

Them chicken strips though.........

 

If I was on slicks on the road I think I'd be bolt upright too!

 

Which is about the only way one can ride around your way, isn't it? Damn motorway roadworks!!

 

I only ever use the car on motorways. I tend to put cruise control on and have a sleep.
