    Hi all,

    I've been reading a few forums over the last few weeks as ive been looking to buy a 04/05 Blade. Well I bought an 05 last week which i'm totally enjoying!!

    Here's a couple of pix:

    It just rolled past 12k and in great condition. It has an Akro pipe, red vented hugger, crash bungs and a tinted 'zero gravit??' screen. It's running on Road Pilot 2s which actually seem ok - not that i have the ability to get rid of the chicken strips - yet!

    Home is in Berkshire between Maidenhead and Marlow. My previous sports bike was a 955i Daytona:

    Looking forward to the longer days and warmer/drier roads to get to know it better.

    Anyone has any advice, comment on the RR5 i'd be very grateful.

    All the best
    Darryl

    Thanks for the welcomes lads!!

    Glad you like the shots; i cant take too much glory as they're only the shots from the ebay advert ;)

    But here's another for you - a shot of the loud-pipe, jeez it sounds great when youre winding on the power :)
