    Bike would be relatively cheap, the surgery to extend my legs would be expensive ;)

    I can only compare it with my RR6 track bike which was a nice piece of kit with plenty of goodies on, although I have rode a few later blades

    Pros and cons

    Blade
    Very well balanced, well manured , torquey engine, well built, easy to work on, great track bike but characterless

    H2
    Quite heavy but handles quite well for its bulk, beautifully built, different, acceleration is brutal, always weary of marking the paint

    Two very different bikes, my fireblade (now sold) would be easily quicker on track, in a straight line it wouldn't see the H2

    Yamaha YZF-R1M (and a van)

    Apologies, as I have cast my vote already for the R1M (and a van)

    The idea would be to take it to do track days at all of the MotoGP tracks in Europe, - like Assen, Mugello, Catalunya, Le Mans and so on. Then take it to the B500, and to Spain and the Alps to ride in the lovely scenery.

    So although the money no object would buy the hardware, in the form of the R1M and a van, it would also be required to cover the adjustment in lifestyle !

    Gorgeous looking thing - unhurried crossplane crank sound - technology - gorgeous :)

    But it could make the opinion more valuable because @derchef 's opinion would be based on having a definite prospect of being able to purchase the desired 'wish list' bike.;)

    Whilst not a bike my Wife and I have always said that if we won the lottery we would buy a gurt big RV and follow the MotoGP circus for a year. Although thinking about it I could also specify that the RV has space for a bike or two

    I was hoping to ride to Mugello last year but couldn’t get it arranged.

    Anyone been?

    I went on my Blade in 2016. I have been to a few of the MotoGPs including Assen, Misano, Aragon, Le Mans, Catalunya - whilst they all have their good points - Mugello is certainly the stand out event. The circuit is awesome as well - just walking round it thinking I would love to ride around here.

    The ride to get there is a bit of a ride out as well. Probably my favourite trip so far.
