New owner in South East

Hi all, got my unrestricted license last week and have finally made the jump from a little 500r to the big boy class. I've always loved the design of the 07 blade (admittedly black wasn't my first choice of colours). I've got a lot planned for the coming months to make it my own, let's hope my wallet isn't empty by the end of it...

 

Hi Jon, and welcome.

One of my fave bikes the 07. I hope black does grow on you, because when clean, it's a striking look. They do come up great with gold wheels, but that's my view. Many will say it's too common.

 

Hi and welcome - don’t know what you mean though, the black looks great IMHO

 

Perhaps he doesn't really want to admit that he wanted a Repsol?

 

Been there - done that - lost a bob or two for my trouble

 

Very nice.
Welcome.
Also, your wallet is about to take a fekkin beating

 

Welcome mate, enjoy the new bike

 

I think you hit the nail on the head with that assumption

 

I love the black on that bike.

 

Welcome. A black 07, makes me miss my old one.

 

Ah. You got beaten to the punch for a good one by member @Sp0oner . (We've already forgiven him for the purchase)

 

Forgiven?! Repsols are the definitive blade that every other colour plays 2nd fiddle to

Welcome Jon there’s always chinese fairings to make it a Repsol

 

Bloody hell. You guys will have me getting Chinese Repsol fairings. Think I'll lay low for a while!

 

Haha just missed my edit when you posted it that.

 

Welcome black looks good
