    Hi all. After years of riding R1's i've taken a punt and bought a 2012 Blade without even looking at it. I know R1's pretty well but not alot about Blades. Anything i should look out for. Thanks in advance

    You have to be careful of controlling the size of your grin while riding it Oggy. There's a nasty tendency to get saliva in your ears if you don't.

    Hello Oggy. Welcome, I'm a newby too. Only picked up my blade last weekend, I was warned about the batteries not being very good as they are so small. Was advised to always use an optimate, but other than that I cant really comment too much as Ive not really ridden it yet apart from short journey home.

    Welcome oggy, nice bike mate, I may be biased but I reckon you got the colour scheme for the bike just about right.

    Enjoy your time here, you'll find plenty to read through to confirm you bought the right model.

    Anything to look out for? Nah, just enjoy it. :)

    Thanks all. It's being delivered next Thursday. It's funny, never had a Blade but this is the most excited i've been about a bike.

    Methinks there's getting to be enough for a Kernow group now Andrew.
