    Hi all. Test rode a blade Saturday afternoon. Bought one Saturday evening. Great piece of kit. Will take delivery later this week. Previously a 600rr rider, what can I say? Guess I'm a Honda guy!

    What's the 'scene' like for ride outs in the Midlands? Need to get my eye in and wrist / arse used to the extra ponies of the 1000rr... Wife permitting obviously!

    2014, black and begging to be made my own!

    Kind of! Wanted one when I bought the 600rr, but insurance was a bit steep and I was gazumped on a 2008 blade. Anyway, did enjoy the test ride and after my disappointment with the s1000rr I rode the week before I had to have one. Absolutely itching to get my hands on it now!

    Does anyone know if 600rr brake and clutch levers will fit a 64 plate with a ABS? (Guessing levers are parts bin bits)
