  5. Bit like an old bean........... Has been
    The new Honda is disappointing and I know having owned a few, but the new pricing on a re-run that is nigh on 9 years old is a little high on a product that is not really new.
    I was hoping Honda had really bought out a new machine ready for the next 10 years was going to be something special, especially given the RC213 V$ racing bike that broke cover and dreams of a V4 engine.
    Other manufacturers have moved on with new chassis designs and electronics.
    I will be looking at others before I even consider a blade again.
     
  6. I'm still waiting on my finder's fee for that you know. :Finger:

  8. Cool. More commission for me. :D
     
  9. Working on percentages, not much commission :Angelic: ;) :D but I owe you a pint :Wideyed: :Bag:
     
  10. Well, getting a pint out of a tight Yorkshire man has to rank as a victory. :gbp: It's a deal. :)

  11. Mine was a 2010 Factory, and LOVED it. Put 10's of thousands of miles on it and it never let me down.
     
  12. I couldn't fault my 2010 blade, I just change bikes a lot but really nothing wrong with it as far as road bikes go.

    It was just time for a refresh and electronic package update, which yes they've done, but I don't know whether they've done enough to appease the masses.
     
  13. Yes - its very "this or that" isnt it? it really could go one way or the other. I suppose you can build something thats going to the absolutely everything but, as someone else said the Beemer is the benchmark, i never had a go on one, be nice if i could but the last time i had a go one someone else's bike i wrote it off....so i dont suppose thatll happen any time soon...

  14. Yeah - mines done about 11k now and its supposed to be one of the, if not the worst from a reliability point of view but mines been brilliant. Had a couple of minor (very minor) issues. One tps sensor and a leaky rocker cover (first one cost 20 quid and the second was cured with a part update). Its just about to come apart for its valve clearances...are you on the af1 forum.? recognize the name...
     
  15. Just gives the dealer more room for a discount deal. :)
     
  16. I bought a new one in 2008 and it was brilliant but cost me new £9,200 . Seems like they have gone up a lot over 9 years.
     
  17. Isn't it 95% titanium and weighs less than a bulimic pigeon?
     
  18. I bought my first blade in 1996 (over 20 years ago) and it cost £9200
