    Spoke to a fellow Blade owner at my local bike shop this afternoon.
    This guy has spent a fortune on his bike.
    Carbon wheels
    Ohlins front and rear
    Brembo calipers
    Brembo M/C
    Carbon protection everywhere
    Custom paint job.

    Decal I think, it's just a brogie rep with a few extra painted bits on.


    Honestly I don't like it, accept the wheels that I can't see lol

    Lovely bike, wasted by the colour scheme In my opinion... Some seriously cool old Honda schemes (rothmans, rc30 rc45,) that spring to mind you could do and it'd be the nuts!!

    Have seen some similar yellow blades though

    Very nice bike .. See there is a load of Blade modders out there that we don't have on here .. we need cards to give out .. This would have been an ideal opportunity to bag a new member with some good mod experience and knowledge to share

    Not a light. Its part of the custom paintwork. I wasn't a fan of the paint, the flames looked especially tacky, but the hardware was great.
    He said the engine is coming out soon to be gas flowed, head skim etc etc. supposed to come back 200BHP.

    I did point him in the direction of the forum - he didn't seem very interested though.

    He purchased it in standard trim and had it painted as a Brogie rep. Spoilt by the flames (and the black and yellow) though.
    Ignoring the paint scheme, it really did look good in the flesh.
    The carbon wheels looked fantastic. He paid £2400 for them. Reckons the bike stands him at £20K so far!
