Have to say I am not overly impressed with the liveries at all so far, this HRC isnt even close to an 09, 10 etc
The White (it ain't hrc) is nice and certainly better than the red. If they bring out some specials, I'll be tempted later next year when some deals are about and mine is knocking on a bit
Well mine will prob have 20/25k by aug next year... So might be time to move it on. Won't be old (2011) but I don't like keeping them over 25k.
Told ya benn - I get about. Lol The ave day out is usually 300 miles!! Chuck in a big euro tour, couple weekends away and some track days and I'm always doing 10k a year plus. I go through a bike every 2 to 3 years at the mo.
At least your getting your moneys worth Jimbo .. Go on son .. You could be the first 2012 owner on here and the envy of the forum Really not sure which 1 i would go for . If i was offered 1 free and had to pick then i think id go for the RED to be honest
I won't be the first 2012 owner... Need another summer out of mine. To actually get some money's worth!! And to be fair, I love mine so much I don't want to get rid of it, I might just get some exotica to share the burden and have a Sunday best ride... Who knows. Lol as for 2012 colours. Not sold on any of them to be fair Benn - that's poor mate, I've done that in a week!!
Bet it looked nice and shiny thou mate... I clocked up 22k on my 600RR. Nw from honda late 2007 and traded it in for the blade early 2011 , 3 and a bit years later . I kept on top of the cleaning , maintenance etc but i rode through the winter and the salt got to lots on the bike . Even changing loads of parts she still looked used . just couldn't get the show room look back This time round the Blade is a dry wether toy to keep it showroom condition . Im looking for a street fighter style run around now so I'm not classed as a fair wether rider lol
Mine gets winter use, but not much. Just enough to feed the habit..looks good but I never trade them in mint. Who cares - 500 quid off trade in is worth two years of proper use and enjoyment!! Dare I say it, think the blade will become the everyday bike end of next year, and I'll sneak something else in the garage and give her the good new after.
Indeed! I'd love an rc30 to complete my dream line up. But no way in my price range. Think it'd either a sp1/2 in castrol colours or an f4, been after either for years
Oohh. The SP1/2. I'm sure we've been down this road before. I'd love 1. If I had a few extra pennies at the moment there would be 1 in my garage for sure. Is there not a black 2012 model. I'm sure I seen it, although it may have been hiding in the shadows
Yep Colin - we've been here for obvious reasons! They are the bollox... I want one on full akros sooo bad!! 2012 black - yeah think so, but as it's not even been talked about, says something for the colour?? Lol ; )
I'd have the black over any of the other 2 to be honest. Although it really is taking the stealth look to the extreme. A few rizoma parts would sort it out though. Either that or a few orange repsol decals would really set it off I think I would wait until next year if I was buying a new blade to see which colour schemes they come out with.
I saw the red in the flesh at my local dealer and it does b Nothing at all for the bike I bet when they do a decent paint job I'll Love it but so bland at the moment IMO. I hated the K9 GSXR 1000 then identical bike in 2010 but new colours it looks a completely different machine, I think the 2012 model would look stunning with this sort of scheme
I was hunting around for an SP2 when I found my 'Blade. They're a bit like the 'fast' girl at school that you knew was going to be a bad decision but you couldn't help yourself. Fortunately the 'Blade, which is the 'girl next door', was the one I married and then realised what a dirty bitch she could be. Still, every time an SP1000 goes by...
