    I even like Repsol one, even if it is slower then the HRC one :D[/QUOTE]

    all I can say is that I'm glad I went from a naked to the blade. For me better in every way

    My pal had one mate, he loved it, but he spent a lot of time, effort and £ to get the suspension as he wanted it, but once he had it went bloody well....

    Ah, I know a chap who also has an 03-06 he spent time and money also on his and has a good package! Beats his old K5 1000 on track!!! Shocking.... he has full maxton fork intnals and maxton rear shock... me I'm just a cafe runner, quick nip to the cafe, pop a wheelie or two and I'm happy, that and take a nice steady cruze round on a sunny afternoon. I love my Z1000 but it's bitey! Engine is very peaky....if I'm honest Id love a CB1000R but they are bland in comparison to the Kawasaki and overpriced IMO. So many nice bikes around now that's the problem....and only so much money....lol Oh the plan is to own as many bikes as possible before one drops dead.....lol RSV4 Tuono would be nice at the mo I think.... :D

    I had a naked bike for 5 years and it is great to have no fairings to take off/clean behind etc, it was the bloody wind blast that got me, even at 70-80mph it was a pain after a while, which is why i thought of the Kwak SX-1000..... Like a naked but with a fairing !!!! If this makes any sense.

    I love the wind blast that is why I had a naked CB1300 and I can sit for 8 hours on motorways in one day and I am old as well.

    But I do love the blade, I guess I am lucky to have both (only 4 more years to pay).
