After much deliberation I decided to let the blade go. Having put more miles on the Streetfighter in April alone than what I put on the blade in the last two and a half years, I realised that it would be unlikely that I would be choosing to take the blade out over the Streetfighter. Just not getting on with the sporty position anymore. With the proceeds of the the blade I got myself a Triumph Bonneville T120, something that the wife can jump on the back of and go for a ride down the coast in busy slow moving traffic and not get frustrated, also chuck some luggage on and do a bit of touring in comfort. Best of both worlds, absolutely loving them.
That'll be me too soon if the Blade sells on ebay this weekend. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/297299558147 I bought something a bit more practical to do a bit of touring on.
Yeah mines gone. Will spend some time sorting out what I bought through lockdown! Been borrowing a mates old transalp 650. Quite nice to jump on with no faff.
had a day out on a Triumph 765R yesterday, have to say, loved the riding position (getting old!). was a really nice ride, genuinely tempted!
