    I popped in to my local dealer to have a look around and noticed their latest deal :)

    Big deposit but looks like 0% is in already !

    Just thought some people might be interested :) Not me I love my HRC lol

    also couldnt spot one 2010/11 bike left, so they must have been sold :)

    Sssshhhhhhhhh dont tell phantom.

    I think the 2010/11 models are selling well now as such good offers are available on them.

    Good spot, and yes dont tell phantom! When i was phoning around i could get 0% but it was over 24m and most of the dealers said Kestrel must have been funding themselves as was not an official honda offer. I wonder if bransons are doing the same?

    Happy with my 2010!!


    Ended up getting mine on 0% in the end as put down a much bigger deposit !

    With the extra 2k worth of kit I got mI very please with my bike! Also the 2012 doesn't come in black/gold.

    Already have had to book it in for its first service as nearly have 600 miles on it already! Every mile with a big smile on my face.

    Just tucked the bike away after todays ride and a full clean polish and wax, she is now sleeping under the official Honda cover I got as part of the deal (didnt realise they were nearly £100!! :)

    i like your local dealer, all the bikes are white:)

    0% or not i still think you got the best deal, there is just something about the 2012 that doesnt appeal to me, maybe next year when some new paint schemes come out, cough cough...repsol

    I prefer the shape of the the 2010/11 bike as well.

    Honda have hinted at a all new blade in 2014/15. That will be my next bike! Although all blades are awesome! I just love the nosie my makes! I cant wait to open the taps fully!

    that is probable as this years was only tweaked to make the design the best it could be, no doubt in the next few years another ground breaking bike will come along which will prompt a new blade that will once again smash them all

    And that's likely to be the best part of £15k by then I bet!

    Borrowed a 2012 Blade yesterday, couldnt believe how quiet and restrictive the Honda Acropovic can is with a cat. Couldnt wait to get back on my 2011 bike with the Akrapovic race can!

    I have the carbon race slip on, did not realise the cat version was so restrictive, glad I opted for the race one now :)

    Went into a bike dealer in Daytona Friday and they had a 2012 blade for $13995 or at $1.55 to the pound works out at just over £9000.
