    Yes Yes, i know it LOOKS like a roadbike, (it is at the minute) but this is my new racebike!

    After a long hard decision, the blade went, it simply wasnt in my budget to upgrade to a new model every year to be competitive in 1000cc class, so i have decided to go 'Classic Superbike' Racing.

    I hunted high & low for an Sp1/2 for race use but the prices are simply too high to warrant buying one for racing, so i chose the other 1st option of a......









    ZX7R!

    Yes yes, i know its not a honda, thatll come next year with a newer blade, but ive had a fairly trick '7R roadbike in the past, and this one is even tricker!

    As it looks at the minute....

    Superb! Good luck with it and keep us posted. I have just got rid of my Blade too, difficult decision, but one that needed to be made. Hope to catch up with you at a circuit soon.

    Gleaming bike. Always liked them. Don't think the looks have dated on them either. Classic.
