Maybe a fat pay cheque will swingnhis opinion, they have to waste sorry spend out licence fee on something at the end of the day.

It feels natural to rev it out tbh. The blade felt natural short shifting and riding the torque but the ten genuinely does enjoy the revs and it doesn't feel a chore chasing the redline which is not normally my styleit encourages you to reb of harder some how

I agree Evans would be good and could probably pull it off but I have heard he is not interested even though they want him.

Went for another blast today and got asked to update the thread with regards to the full power mode. At the end of the day a 180 bhp litre sportsbike is never going to be slow but I reckon for instant drive the Blade has it beaten in standard trim. Most probably down to the fact that it is massively...

Nothing to do with any religion IMO. If things are true he is a cowardly murderer and nothing more special than a piece of scum.

Heard possible clarkson replacements are Suzi perry, Chris Evans, Vicki butler Henderson.

All good presenters but nonr will replace the arrogant, refreshingly non PC dinosaur that was / is clarkson.

Like him or loath him but he is not easy to follow.

Enjoy it mate. New bike day is special and has to be savoured. Hope it's a cracker mate, and look forward to hearing all about it.

Very much looking forward to seeing the sx.

If its got a zx10 engine in there and you on board the commute is going to be a lot of fun. Two hooligans in perfect harmony.

Enjoy it mate you work hard so enjoy the fruits of your labour.

@Perkles. I've edited the above post I don't know why it had the wrong smiley originally. Sorry mate I didn't post it intentionally, just my fat fingers.

That's based on car theft not bike theft which is a different kettle of fish. How many cars have you seen lifted into the back of a transit van ? Also it states some of the reason for higher premiums when Parking in a garage is because the car driver bangs the car and claims for repairs not because...

Full power mode

Oh yes indeed. Missus making an early dinner then its fun time

Bike riding, bike show and watching motogp can you spot a theme

I m going to enjoy my new bike which has pretty much all the tech barring a quick shifter and auto blipper but next bike is going to be R1, beemer or 1299 as these really are the absolute pinnacle of road going motorcycles.

Finger print technology won't help as the lock system is over ridden from the cockpit in case terrorists force the staff to enter the code and they could also force a pilot to put his finger print on the panel.

Two pilots at all times in a secure cockpit seems the logical answer to me.

I made my own for a painted under tray to stop it being stone chipped to fook. Pretty easy tbh.

Although i m sure your right Perkles I still very much want one

Some sprockets

Well if its dry tomorrow I will be spanking it around some local twisties

Please don't read that as ungrateful as you were very very generous to send them.
