    This is my first time owning a RR11 Fireblade, my other bikes were a GSXR 750 K7 & GSXR 1000 K9. The blade does feel very different to ride having been used to Suzuki for the past five and a half years or so but i must say really glad i made the change and only wish i had done it sooner.

    Thank you for the welcome

    Rob my location is Teesside, I will amend my location sorry about that.

    There a a few big differences I have noticed between the Suzuki and Honda
    The Suzuki would give a smooth continues power delivery from low revs till the red line where the Honda seams to have less power delivery until 4500 / 5000 rpm then BAM!!! Of we go. Maybe something to do with the two injectors per cylinder ???

    The Blades brakes are amazing compared to the Suzuki sharp and no brake fade, the gearbox is also super smooth, sometimes i can't believe it's actually went into gear it's that slick.

    Having been spoilt over the last 5.5 years having a gear indicator I really do miss this as I have gone for 7th to many times now. Easily fixed with a GI Pro which will be my next purchase.

    They are the main differences I have noticed in the 5 days I have owned it and of course only my opinion other Suzuki or Honda riders my feel different

    lol explorer your bikes only as fast as you can ride it ;)
