    Hi all,

    I am a potential new member because I am seeing a 2006 blade this weekend which I hope to make my first Honda bike. I love my Honda S2000 so the 'blade would have a Honda stable-mate at least.

    I currently own a Suzuki RGV250 which is a (non-ending, extremely long-term!) project and a Kawasaki ZX9R (C2). Both are currently in the garage in bits and I desperately need a functioning bike to ride!

    The bike I am seeing aparently needs its annual service, new tyres, a new crash bung and has a cracked nose cone (so presumably has been dropped at some point). Other than this it is apaprently good and so long as I can get it for a price to reflect those faults I am excited at the prospect of getting it. It is a few years old now but the reports I have read are that this was a great model and it should be a significant step up from my old Kwak which I will try to sell once I have a replacement.

    I will miss the old girl though - she is tuned and has a full Akra race system - on full chat it sounds like the heavens are coming down.

    Anything in particualr to look for on an 06 'blade?

    Cheers,

    RW

    The 06 fire blades are fairly bullet proof, no major issues with them.

    Welcome. Fairings etc are expensive unless you go down the Chinese/Ebay route.
