    Just thinking about the recent thread regarding the new Blade 12 .I am the type to swop even once a year but at the moment there is not one bike that fires me up (example ) The 12 Fireblade colours /Fairing and then of course the Gsxr has not changed much, so with five choices of mix and match of each of the top five bikes what would your perfect bike look like.:D

    Since 2007 there wasn't a bike on the market that got me excited enough to think about changing, until the release of the 2012 Blade.

    So for the moment I now have my perfect bike.

    Rc 45 yes but the down side for me is the front headlight so yes great, but swop it for say the R6 front end and then maybe the perfect bike.

    Eh?
    Are you asking about the perfect bike or just one that you quite like the look of?
    IDGAF what the headlight looks like! :):):)

    Take a 08-11 blade and replace the engine with a 500cc 2 stroke and that is my perfect bike because if its going to burn oil it might aswell do it properly

    Don’t get me started Si, despite the Ducati staff attitude I still want/need/gona have/what’s wrong with me a 1199, base model, race pipe, carbon tail tidy plus other blingy bits. Tricolour is too much money, S has stuff I don’t need/will ever use or understand. So its base plus extras. sssssssh don’t tell Ling it will be nice surprise.

    I think you may be missing the point of the thread i said (in my opinion ) that there is no perfect bike for me so if i could pick and mix out of 5 bikes ALL the bits inc front headlights then i may be able to find the bike of my dreams and asked (just for fun what would be your perfect bike? .If it is the RC45 then great, saves a bit of thinking and effort.

    Don't ask riders in Bristol for a test ride, apparently because they have sold out until September, I am not allowed to ride the demo ? But I can put down a £500 deposit on the bike I have not ridden ! Cheers then, I know they must get a lot if interest and there may be a few test pilots ! BUT !!!! I went in to test drive the focus ST for a laugh and bought one as I did with the megane renaultsport so what's there f ing problem ...... Rant over also agree base £15 grand model is the one to go for :)

    The best looking bike ever made, bar none...

    I love the look of the mv, but can't help but think the look a little lardy nowadays. Jeez even the footrests are a work of art, which I suppose is what the bike is all about.

    Panigale aside as it's new - put an mv next to any bike and it'll draw a crow 10/1 every time....
