3 years ago I had a 04 Blade, I went for a different option and changed to a 09cb1000r, it was a great bike , very usable, the itchy wrists set in and im now on a 09 HRC Blade , wow, what a difference , this bike is awesome , I always go to a quiet place to test the cb was unstable at full throttle could do with a damper and very nervous , but I ran out of gonads before this was fully lit ,go to 11thou in top, extremely stable and smooth. its great on twisty roads and turns with no effort and pulls from anywhere... highly recommend and very happy
