As some of you may know, I am currently trying to research and purchase my 1st blade. Whilst I appreciate it is a subjective matter and probably comes down to personal preference and opinion, from the title heading, which would you deem to be the best model? Or is it a simple case of newer/latest model will be the best due to R&D and technological advances? My reason for asking, some of the RR8 models are in the same price bracket for the RR-B, both with similar spec, mileage etc. Need to make sure my 1st blade is right!
Just buy one. Any one. They're brill. I had a Gixer K5 1000 before my RR-9 which are reputed to be one of the best Gixers and I thought I'd miss the Gixer mid range..........I don't, the blade is pretty much on par and the suspension is better! That's what 4 years of development gets you!
The best one in my opinion is the 2011 in hrc colours lol... All much the same. pic a scheme and buy it
Think it's going to be black, would prefer one with the black frame but the one I have my eye on is silver framed. Has a ton of extras on it and is a lovely bike. Just waiting for seller to get back from his holidays and hopefully close the deal. Thanks for your input and advice folks.
I'm a bit biased but what about the 2012 in HRC colours..... Think it can't be done? well it can, look at this bargain ( I'm half tempted to buy it as a spare!) http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/291450992956?nav=SEARCH
Yes they did, but not all suffered with this problem, I'd want to play it safe i'd go for a later model and £7.5k will certainly get you a 2011 model, that's what I sold my 2011 Repsol for six months ago with 7k on the clock and mint, so I think your capable of a 2012 model. Colour depends on your choice, but Repsol's do sell easier (FACT).
Yep, as above. Worth it as people say the suspension is a lot more plush, not just owners, MCT suspension do too. And the dash is nicer too.
