    Hi all, my name is Mark and I live in sunny Manchester. This is my 35 th year of riding and still enjoying every minute of it. I am a Technical Services Advisor for a major high street department store working Monday to Friday so plenty of time to get out on the blade. This is my 3rd blade I had a black 2006 which I pat ex for a black 2008 and now I have another 2008 in candy red with the black tank. Hope to speak and meet a few members soon so Best wishes for now. Thanks bardo.

    Welcome to the Forum Mark, and as posted pics are a must. and on your 3rd. you must enjoy the blade. I can understand why.

    Also why the change from a 08 to a 08 reg blade?

    I wondered the same thing Remal, obviously if it was a case of wanting a faster one he would of upgraded to a repsol so I'm just as puzzled

    Will get pics up ASAP of all 3 blades. Sold my black 2008 blade for a Sprint ST and then part ex that for the new VFR 1200, big mistake!!!! must be the most uncomfortable bike I have ever had. Then sold the VFR and bought the Candy red 2008 blade and a nice run around with the 2008 CBF 1000.

    It was crap, fast but uncomfortable, no tank range and rubbish luggage not really what you want on a sports tourer!
