New addition

Post by slower110 »

Picked another bike up last week. Proper chuffed with it :D 2010 Blade (in the best and fastest colour :lol: ). Only rode about 30 mile on it cause it's still too friggin cold here. Just really hope we get some sort of decent riding weather this year and warmer.

Here's a few pics -

Can't decide which one to take to Germany! I'd like to give the Storm a good clean up and take that tbh.

should have have got the 2007 blade, best looking blade and last of the under seats,

for me the the back end is to small and the bike looks like a 125, ive always been a blade fan but after 07 i haven't liked the looks

very nice matey, just keep an eye on the oil level, i'm told the later blades have a bit of a drinking problem, a friend of mine phoned honda about his bike, he was told it was within tolerances..... :confused

have you tried a 2004 - 2005 and 2006 - 2007 model they was physically big bikes mate

Not a fan of the snub nose and bat wing lights, i much prefer the sharp aggressive looks from the 929 through to the RR7 model

Get down to the dealers and get a test ride you will love them, just pretend your probably going to make a purchase and they are happy to let you out on them

I never forget the day i passed my test and me and some mates went test riding bikes straight after passing, what a rush! riding an ER500 clapped out heap to a brand new ZX6R and Z750

Nice looking bike Slower, enjoy the both of them. The Blade makes the Storm look old school sitting side by side like that.

Two incredibly beautiful bikes, I feel sorry for you whenever you want to go for a ride. I'd be having an incredibly long internal monologue just to tihnk which would be better :lol: :thumbup: Lucky you :)

I thought that to. Funny because I was looking at my VTR the other day and thinking it does not look to outdated for it's age. But seeing those two side by side changes that. :lol:

Nice bike, your luck to have the choice of jumping on either one. :thumbup:
