    Hey guys, so my beloved Ducati 749 was nicked last week and I think my next move is a Blade! So I thought I'd join up and say hello. I've always loved them and I'm ready for the move to the Liter club!

    Really want one in the red white and black HRC colours. Not much choice in Ireland so may end up importing from Ireland. So let me know if there are nice, well priced ones around!

    Cheers
    Colly

    Welcome mate.
    Gutting about your Ducati. Hope you get what you deserve for it.
    Bright side is you may get a blade.
    My old one, a 2010 with 9,000 miles on it, back to standard, for about £6,800 and on 0% finance from Two Wheels in Edinburgh. White and black. Awesome bike.

    Hello Colly, welcome to the forum, shame about your 749 but think of it as a blessing in disguise if your going to get to replace it with a Blade.

    Good luck with your search

    Welcome to the forum Colly, if you want a 2011ABS St Neots Motorcycles still have mine that I traded for my Panigale up for sale at a lot less than they paid me for it. Its mint and back to OE. I am thinking of buying it back myself at the price they want for it.

    :p welcome to the forum buddy. I detest the thought of any bike getting stolen, I sympathize with your loss. I feel we as bikers need to group together and tackle this issue.
    I recently read about some dude, who had a GPS tracker attached to his pride. He recovered it himself.
    Anyway, I'm a honda lover, and please adapt to the blade. Red, white & blue. Is the natural colours of HRC. Although you get the the white and black.:D.

    Hi Colly, welcome to the forum. I'm fairly certain you won't be disappointed in owning a Fireblade.

    Thanks for the warm welcome lads. So yeah I'm on the lookout for a nice blade, thanks for the recommendations but my budget it not that high unfortunately. I'm looking for a 2006-2007 one at the right price. There is a perfect one in Dublin right now, mint, tiny mileage and the right colours, but its €7.5k (Just over £6k). Do you think I could get one for about £4k or is that asking too much? I have to ship it to Ireland pay import duties also

    Anyway thanks for the welcome and I look forward to more threads!
    Cheers
    Colly

    Welcome Colly... Thieving dirty scum bastards !!! I know that cold sinking feeling when you discover your beloved gone :( !
    Like i say tho.. A shiny thing in one hand takes your mind of the shit you've got in the other ! A Blade will take care of that for you buddy :) !
    Good luck...
