    Hi All - i've just joined the forum after buying a new 20th anniversary blade a couple of weeks ago. This will be my third blade and i traded in a speed triple that was less than a month old !

    I'll get some pics up shortly .

    cheers all - hope to be a regular contributor !

    The speed triple lasted 4 weeks !

    it was the new SE version - white with blue stripes and a blue frame .......very pretty !

    then i saw the blade .......and the finish just blew me away . everything was , well just right !

    then you start to analyse the triple in detail and it looks like everything has been bolted on at the last minute. Finally it spat coolant out and i was back to the dealer !

    They gave me a cracking deal as the Blade had been in their showroom for ages, and was the 2012 model 20th anniversary model - £1000 and i was on the blade !

    it was a no brainer !

    and I haven't stopped grinning since !
