    As per title, got my 'new to me' blade RR-D, delivered 2 days ago and haven't stopped smiling since! Having joined here and done a little research, I ended up blowing my budget, buying a newer one than I originally set out to do!
    It's a 1 owner machine, just shy of 3k miles on the clock, scorpion end can, shorty levers, FSH, supplied by John Banks Honda in Bury St Edmonds, it's in immaculate condition with the exception of a scrape on the rear rim, obviously been caught by the tyre fitter!
    Oh and it's in the fastest colours......apparently!
    Some obligatory pics, side by side with my old K1. Enough of me waffling on, will let the pics do the talking.
    Thank you all for your help & knowledge. Thoughts welcome... good, bad or indifferent! image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg
