I knew it would not be long before I missed my blade, so today I have just traded in my Ducati and bought a ex-demo blade. Can't wait to get back to having four pistons again.
Thanks guys. I have had my Ducati Streetfighter for 9 months now and put over 10,000 miles on it, so it's time to say goodbye and hello to my new blade. I really will miss the thump of the duke and the riding style but my heart was always with my blade. Sure the duke has had it's fair share of problems and has left me stranded some 3 times on the motorway, and electrical gremlins are the major issue!!! Servicing was expensive and parts!! well lets just leave it there. It was my first duke...................... and probably the last being honest . One thing I sure have missed is having a smooth engine and this is where the Honda lump scores.
Well done Peter.......... anyhow as I once told Jamie those miserable bleeders at "Dukes R Us" are always moaning about breakdowns.......
Welcome buddy from another fairly new.......................in fact very new Blade owner. Bought my first one yesterday remotely from Africa LMFAO. Had a Speed Triple, well technically still got one until I get home
