Hi guys n girls Currently riding an R1 4C8 but i have been thinking about getting a Blade for a while now and i'm still undecided on what to do, the reason being is cos i've spent so much dosh on upgrading my R1. I've not really had that many big bikes really, i've had a CBR600, couple of ZX6's, R1 4XV and now the R1 4C8, owned that for 2 years now. As for me, i work for myself, started up my own company last November, i'm a lighting supplier, most of my work is looking after retails chains but i also look after the small businesses too.
Yes, welcome Bub. It's a big dilemma I know. If you spend a lot of money on an R1 it will almost be as good as a blade so the choice is a tough one to make. Only joking! or am I.......
Welcome to the forum bub, met a bloke at the weekend who'd switched from r1 to an hrc blade and was loving it, so crack on!
I think you will be surprised how smooth the blade is compared to the R1, welcome and hope you get a blade soon.
Thanks for the warm welcome chaps, yeah i hear what you are saying about the Blade and i do agree with you, i tested one out not so long ago and loved it, dropped into the corners so well and that's about the only thing i don't like about my 4C8
