Lidl Noodles Anyone?

[Beamish]

Well we are in the middle of a credit crunch, my house has devalued by about 25K and I will be out of a job in 3 years. The family will be on Lidl noodles for the next X amount of years but selfish **stard Jim has just ordered this for the 1st of March . I know its not everyones cup of tea but I was blown away on the test ride. It is a beautiful bike.Lets hope its one of the none oil using versions.



Oooops, I love my wife for not slitting my throat unless its her plan to cash in (faster bike = quicker death)

they do look a stunning bike , like the new cbr 6, got one in the limited white n blue down pidcocks but looks tiny! dont recon 17st sat on it would look very good

[Beamish]

As the long termer test rider (6ft 3)in Ride magazine said....... I look like a Clown riding a circus bike but I am gone so quick I dont hear the laughing
He says its also the comfiest hes ever felt on a sportsbike

Its only taking me about a year to decide He says it should be available on or around the 1st of March which prob means the 10th If anyone is after one PM me, you will be amazed at the price I managed to get it down to. Dont really want to broadcast it yet until I have it in the garage

Glad you've decided what you wanted! Doub't you'll be disapointed-Blades do everything a bike should do very well indeed!

Enjoy

OOohh thats lovvuerly, that is

Roll on 1st March

Jim, that is a lovely looking bike mate. I imagine it is fair nippy.

Rode my bro in law's 05 Repsol Blade before he sold it, i have had 250s that weighed more


One question, did they not have any in butch manly blue? or was whoopsie bottytoucher red the only colour they had left?

169 BHP at the rear wheel is nippy enough for me

The Honda dealers have special rooms set up with torture equipment to deal with people that ask for Teal Blades.

[Beamish]

Did you part ex then Jim, or is there a blade for sale ?

Mike even though they gave me a massive (and I mean massive ) discount on the 09 they offererd me the price I paid for the old Blade so it is getting PX'd

[Jaglifter]

Well done Beamish. Thats a brilliant machine.

Not sure about the current trend of putting indicators in the mirrors.

[knuckledragger]

Wow......Now thats a licence loser..........it looks like she's doing a ton stood still...

[Jbrebel]

Use my mates regulary (although tis not a band new machine...) and its very, very quick. The ton is up in a blink (85 in first) and 150+ is very easy to reach in no time ...

Very good bikes that are extremely well put together-as per any Honda really. If thats what floats your boat you cant go wrong

[Beamish]

Update:

Will be riding it home on the 7th March, I have added Honda colour coded seat unit, alloy paddock stand bobbins and HRC tank pad/filler cap pads. Could not stretch to Carbon hugger or RG number plate tidy.Will add later .
Cant wait , so excited as its my first (and prob only) new bike Whoop Whoop!

[Beamish]

Hardest part of Blade ownership will be to not ride like a Richard! Its all to easy to let custodial speeds become the norm, on the test ride I opened her up and then looked down to see a three figure jail sentaence staring back at me
I will enjoy but not get carried away! Well thats the plan
