Stuff can happend to any bike, Honda flopped big time with their 08 blade aswell. No issues with my bike, actually the tire pressure monitors saved my bacon the other day.
Well that was heaps of fun that test ride yesterday. Cracking bike, brilliantly quick if a little too much free play on the throttle. Masses of electronics that would take a while to get thru. Great bike all in, but for the same price as a new Fireblade ? £5k cheaper and I would buy one, but not at £15k. Unless I have a sudden windfall.
