    Yeah, you'll love it. Looked at them for a while now and two of my riding mates have them, one's the first model the other a 2012. Have also riden a newer model and power/engine aside I liked the riding postion, seemed roomier in the leg for me and the dash is laid out better and clearer than the 2012+ Blade. As a bonus I've not read anything bad about the ABS..unlike Blades..!
