    I'm glad it doesnt have the TC or any power gains, as most of you say - 2 years is perfect, and hopefully it wont be as much of a mish mash as the 2012.

    Anyone bought MCN this morning ?

    They have done a write up on it using the same pics.

    I love the Carl Fogarty quote " If your using traction control on the road your a f***ing idiot ! " Ha Ha

    Yeah, and the quote about why the current Blade is still so popular:

    "The stunningly impressive HRC paint scheme. If Honda painted quarter-pounder hamburgers in this colour scheme vegetarians would feast on them forever more"!

    Interesting sales numbers of bikes so far this year:

    813 Blade
    623 S1000RR
    453 ZX10R
    315 R1
    175 GSXR1000

    with Blades selling 11% fewer than this time last year (although the S1000RR's are down 62% over the same period)

    Looks like BMW's back to being the bridesmaid again.
