    Well I've only gone and done it, after toying with the idea of a V2 last year and to be fair would probably be the easier road bike to live with......I've got myself a V4!!! :eek:

    Its a 1 owner, registered in April last year and has covered 1900 miles. :) Now an Aruba rep wouldn't have been my first choice but luckily its only a decal kit, its been professionally fitted though, made a really good job of it but likelihood is I'll have the Mrs hairdryer out after a few weeks and strip them off! Or i might leave it on as if anything it'll act as paint protection film, especially on the front!;)

    So sadly the blade has gone and so has the R1 as the deposit:(

    Nice one. I think this is something you have to do at least once in your lifetime.

    Even though I moved away from the Blade I still think about buying a Duke or another Aprilia.

    Yeah I like to think I got a good deal, I got £11600 for the Blade SP which is good considering average price for sale is around 12k and £3500 for the R1. I only paid £3400 for the R1, so while I could have got more privately I still got more than I paid for it privately. The Panigale was £16,995....... they're £19,995 new so a saving of 3k!!!! On a 9 month old bike, and its a 2020 bike so revised slightly and has the shark Gill fairings and WWWWIIIINNNNGGGGSSS!!!!!!:D

    Exactly.......I've never had a Ducati before and that itch was bugging me. And when you start looking you can't stop and when I saw this, I had to act fast, no time for private sales! ;)

    Nice one Paul... I’ve literally never looked back since jumping ship! I’d definitely be getting that hairdryer out though :D Enjoy
