    So after years on Kawasaki's ZX6R (x2) ZX9R(x3) & ZZR1400(x3) I decided i needed a change and whilst still young enough (55 next year) narrowed it down to a fireblade and R1 starteed off with a budget of 3k which soon went to 4-6k and ended up spending a fair bit more (is that just me)

    The blade was delivered 3 weeks ago the last Sunday was the first decent day although the night was -2 and salt on the roads

    after 150 miles only complaint was the clutch hand which ached like mad. So will look into ASV levers.

    A few pictures

    Very smart. And just to let you know - keeping to budget and Blades don’t normally go together
