    Hi all,

    I've had a Cb1r for the past year and put loads of miles on her and loved every one of them, but after my last trip to the Nurburgring the instructor told me that although I was good on corners, the straight line speed of the bike was letting me down. I took this as a huge compliment so decided that I would get a Blade to use for fast dry road riding, and occasional track days whilst keeping the CB as my everyday/touring machine.

    Picked up a 2009 Repsol Blade on Tuesday this week and have already fallen head over heels. I look forward to gaining advice from all you guys as I find the CB1R forum really helpful for mods and general advice, and I'm sure you'll all be the same.

    You'll love the bike. These Blades see corners and just go round on their own:D

    Thanks for all the welcome messages. Seems like a great 'old school' type forum. Good to see that these still exist
