    Sounds like an awesome bike mate!

    But what about the problems you hear? i think i've read on here a few things wrong with them...but then again nothing is problem free i guess

    Do you know what bhp does a rr7 make?

    Yes a few problems with them - but then again the Blade isn't faultless - ABS issues, burning oil etc.

    I think the RR7 is 170 BHP, more than enough! I had an RR6 - top bike :)

    Because the press say it's "better". And then some random people say it's "better". So it must be "better".

    An RR7 doesn't (normally) make 170BHP (more like 140/150ish), although you won't care as it's a great bike!

    That's a shame Barney - it must be a very late 12 reg if warranty runs out August 2014 - so still 10 months warranty to run - which makes it an even better buy!

    Its a shame they won't keep it but you can't blame them if they have other interest. Would they take your Blade in px?
