Looks very nice on the larger picture Rich, I think you have a bargain there mate.
The guessing is over..............
Actually, the bargains dont end there.
The lad I bought it off was giving up biking for a few years coz of a young daughter and chucked in all his riding gear. 2 leather suits, 1 worn once and 1 worn twice. A Spada textile suit, worn once. A suomy helmet, worn once. A pair of alpinestar race boots that are in much better condition than mine. A paddock stand and a spare front tyre and spare rectumfrier. Only problem is that although the guy is the same hight as me he's a right skinny cnut
None of the suits fit me, lol. I can just about get the jackets on but the zips arnt anywhere close to meeting, lol. Damm my love of unhealthy food. No problem, I'll ebay the lot of them and treat myself to some new gear at the Scottish bike show in a couple of months unless someone on here is about 5'8 or 5'9, in need of a fish supper or 2 and fancies some new clothing.

Cupa, I had a gear indicator on the Storm and it needed it but on the Blade it will pull in top from 35-40mph and it will do 84mph in first (tested ) so changing down for bends is never too dangerous just the odd backing in moment if you let the clutch out a bit sharpish. It took me a while to get used to the higher revs and the fact that from 7k upwards it starts to really pull 
Its an early sportsbike with plenty of mid range power though so you dont have that lag that is so evident on more track focused machines.

Sweeet! Cuppa 
Little Bro had one before his R6 and we were always swapping bikes on a ride out. I really enjoyed the CBR even if it did get a bit too lively if the road surface was rough.
They're pretty much bullet proof though and think nothing of munching any sort of mileage you care to throw at it. I can remember many a time of ragging it for a couple of hundred miles and having to stop for a fag, worn, spent, totally knackered and the bike just looking back at seaming to say "Is that all you got? Come on, give me some more"
Yep! fond memories of that beastie
Oh! and Mrs Cuppa
