True - the Tailormade systems for the 'Blade are a similar look to the Duke's pre-prod one. But at least the stock exhaust on the 'Blade is half decent and is in keeping with the bike's design. But like you say an exhaust is easy to change. I'd have to have the paintjob on the wheels from the pre-prod too - it's orange!
Just read a 6 page report in MCN on it, it sounds mental, the torque figures are unreal, as said above its like a Honda CB1000R on speed. It does make Honda's ' sitting on the fence ' with their CB1000R lack of development plain lazy. I agree it is a bit steep on price, but 2 years down the line and a fully (owner) spec'd model up for sale..... now that would be something to look at.
