new bike (not a twin but at least its a honda)

Post by xxxrated »

picked up the free ads as you do this morning for a gander through and noticed there was a bike 3 miles from where i live. now the chances of me finding my dream bike, in the exact colours i wanted so close to home and at a silly cheap price was too tempting an offer to miss. expected a complete dog when i went down there but it was immaculate, absolutely spot on in every possible way. needless to say im picking it up friday:

oooh... foxeye blade... very sweet

usually awful colours except the super nice urban tiger, but I really like the black and yellow.

The blue one's nice, xxx, but if it was me, I would've asked if the black one was for sale. Reckon it'd go a tad faster...

:P

Nice bike -isn't it funny how things turn out.
If I hadn't got punted off my ZZR660 I'd probably still be riding that and have missed out totally on this forum (not sure if thats a good or bad thing :lol: )

If you don't mind me asking, how much was the Blade?

And you've gotta do something about those chicken strips, they're spoiling an otherwise blinding bike 8)
I've got an inferiority complex
But its not a very good one!

£1300 sounds really quite good, shes certainly tidy!

I would love one of those but i can hear my insurance company screaming from here, lol!

As Kitch said nice colour scheme too (urban tiger rules kitch !! )

It looks a very clean and tidy bike Triple, I must admit I do like the look of the Fox-eyed Blade :!: Funnily enough I was only admiring one this week, when I went to see my brother, this one had a VFR swingarm and underseat exhaust.
