It sounds like a 675 on low revs, that whistle and whirr you get, looks very light on the front, I bet they tightened up the damper for the next play on track

[DaytonAndy]

It does sound nice. I reckon a lot of that twitchiness was down to the rider not knowing the bike or the track too well.

[Kwacky]

I want to know who the rider in front of him was.

McGuinness was in front think he was showing the guy some lines
is it not an electronic damper on the new one ?

Went to the Scottish bike show today. Had a wee feel around the blade. It is slightly smaller in size, and gives a nice tank curverture, where you feel better fitted to the bike.
Yes it has a electronic steering dampener, and it's placed under the head stock. Previous models had the electronic steering dampener on top of the head stock.
The power to weight ratio, has given the bike a boost in performance, at 189BHP, and we all know this can be enhanced by aftermarket additions.
Might be tempted to trade my 2014 blade, for the new blade, the new dash looks sweet, but as always, can I justify the fact starting price 15k or 19k.
I do like my Honda,s hence my username.
My stomach is churning, due to my dilemma.

Do it

It's evolution not revolution, so as you know a great bike just got a whole lot greater

Dealers were offering £750 or £1,000 off the price of a new 2017 blade so I reckon there could be deals from the outset.
