    New 2012 non ABS, all black.
    With fitted Akrapovic can, and they are going to transfer all my bits from the bike I have onto the new one too (levers, screen, seat cowl, engine sliders, cotton reels, tank bag fittings etc).
    Tail tidy being fitted as well.
    Can't wait to pick it up now. I could pee my pants.

    That will be us with an all black CBR600RR (missus picked that up a week and a half ago), and an all black blade in the garage.
    As well as two black cars as well.

    Pics to follow.

    Great. Bet you can't wait. I recently took a demo blade out which was black - looked brill. I'am also picking up a new 2012 blade HRC colours in just over a week's time. Can't wait. Good luck!

    Best of luck mate, and yeh, chomping at the bit.
    Will be a shame to see the old one go though, as it is a fantastic bike, and immaculate too.

    Very nice but don't tell anyone I said that

    Nice choice!

    Forget the comments from those Pedrosa/Marquez/Stoner-wannabes on their chavvy Repsols, Black is by far the fastest colour and not common as muck like the orange-lovers' choice! :p

    Actually I stand corrected as there are some Repsols that can keep up with the fastest 'Blades...

    HA HA HA HA thats about it then................:) Im sure that the repsols wouldnt always be the slowest bikes around. The Carnival floats that are in the same Gay Pride marches would be a little faster but not that much LMFAO ;)

    highly debatable, seeing as black pigment is mostly soot and lead.
    whereas white is made up almost entirely of titanium oxide = racing paint. :p

    nice choice of machine though. :D
