Got a good offer on the blade against a ZX10 same year as blade and very slightly less mileage. Should I or shouldn't I that's the dilemma
Happy with the blade and without doubt the easiest bike to ride fast (IMO). Just went in the shop to test the water.
Well it's been a piss poor day for riding so it's a trip to some bike shops and sit on and try! ZX10 nice size and fits like a glove but didn't realise how firm the suspension is (didn't move with my 10.5st skinny ass on it). GSXR 1000 nice bike but no real change since 2008 R1 nah! Don't know why but not me? MT09 nice for what it is and riding position seemed good but wind blast? MV Brutal looks great but not for me! Triumph tiger couldn't touch the floor (well just about) Drove home confused, opened the garage door and look what was waiting for me (a friendly face) Happy with the blade but you have keep looking what's out there (been happily married 30yrs but that doesn't sot ya looking )
Some BST lightweight wheels and an HM Quickshifter will make the Blade feel like a brand new bike - just something to consider GSRX 1000's are 9k brand new and R1's 10k brand new - think millenium had zx10's at 11.5k in 2013 colours Lots of brand new bikes like the Naked gixer thou are about to be released for 2015 - have you tried the S1000r naked - its rated mega highly by all who ride it
