    Bought a minter today to replace my written off HRC

    Had a decent budget to get something a bit special but the family meat wagon died a few weeks ago too! Had to buy both a bike and a new family car on the same day!. Never the less, chuffed with both. SP gonna have to wait a little longer.

    Test drove a tonne of RRs but the Blade is the only one for me!!!!

    Nice looking bike that @Slick

    Nowt wrong with French cars either, way better than they used to be! We currently have one in our household;)

    I swore I'd never buy one again after a Citroën AX GT I had years ago, little rocket ship but god it was a pile of shit.

    I remember I went camping in Anglesey about 20 years ago in it. The GF at the time closed the boot and the Plastic locking mechanism snapped.....spring loaded boot so was stuck wide open! o_O

    In a rage I saw my arse, got in the drivers seat, slammed the door shut and put my hands and forehead on the steering wheel in an attempt to calm down......at which point the door fell off its hinges onto the damp grass. :mad:

    I'm sure yours will be fine though! :D

    Took a bit of learning to get it right, I have a pod LCD display too so I can check whats going on whilst riding.
    Yoshi without PCV/AT was hunting at idle, hesitant and had a few flat spots. Once configured it was oh sooooo smooth.

    Mine do all get used - just not frequently.:)

    Done nearly 5,000 miles on my 2011 since buying it in Nov 2017. That bike does the most miles, thereby preserving the others. SP2 is still stuck on 1300 because I haven't pulled it out from behind a couch since September. Correction - I think it's the one behind the couch - they're all covered!!:D:D.

    MV, just MoT'd did 800 over the past year.
