    Nah no upgrade for me , just thought it was unusual. Think it may be built for a customer. Never asked the price. Was told its part sp. probably a standard blade with extras bolted on. Pricey I imagine

    Looks like it would've cost the customer a few quid if its a painted sp or not. I like it with the gold wheels and black frame/swingarm, I think that was a good call for that livery.

    Yeah it's gotta be a painted standard blade as the Sp has a silver frame. Expensive tho if you add price of a standard blade with abs, then spray job £1200 . Then brembos ohlins and the seat pod. Wheels painting or powder coated . Serious bucks. May as well buy an Sp !

    It's got almost everything from the sp but no light subframe must of cost the price of an sp surely so why not buy the sp? Each to their own I supose

    Edit: Beat me too it by one min steve

    it would look better with black wheels and silver frame and swing arm so as to be more like the bike its trying to replicate?
    In fact the more i look at it the more i don't like it lol ;) :D

    IMO it looks really well, the pics don't do the paint job justice. Posted it as I thought it was a bit out of the ordinary.
    I really like it but probably wouldn't like the price tag. Without the brembos & ohlins & a nice end can it would be affordable. As for the gold wheels I really like coloured wheels too many bikes with black wheels. Boring and show all the dust in no time. Coloured wheels should be an option on new bikes. Like car buying option packs

    What I'm saying is the only blade you can get coloured wheels on is a repsol or an sp, the older blades used to have coloured ones , now nearly all are black with above 2 exceptions
    We are all different, can't be that hard to specify which coloured wheels you want when ordering a new Bike can it ?
