I must have a keen eye as most of the items I spotted which made me comment about the similarity to the current model are mention in the article you post.
It's going to need to be an exceptional ride if it's little more than the previous bike with new electronics and fairing. That said they sell seem to see plenty of new ones so I guess whilst it still has a decent market why spend cash on developing a new bike?
I do think we may be entering an age where manufacturers make a top of the range sportsbike for mostly road use and then a silly expensive race bike with lights to homologate Wsbk bikes.

Brillant summary of how it's going to be I reckon Duke
Still never been a better time for sportsbikes. It really is a Golden Era at the moment.
Exhaust can explores new heights of naffness....but that's easily switched out.
The wheels look great.
The decals make it look like a Hot Wheels toy....they're simply awful......those alone would put me off...or at least would be first on the chopping block.
But overall I think it makes a great canvas from which to make your own ride. I like it.
Not sure how many on here have owned Blades but the two I have owned have genuinely been the best 2 bikes I ve owned and I would imagine other owners would say the same. I d have another in a heart beat.
There never going to having a following like Ducati but they make good, reliable bikes that just work. To some that's boring but to others that's a big plus. Each to their own I guess.
Yep....I think if I was going to commute on a bike, a Honda would be my first choice....especially if I actually wanted to keep my job/arrive at it. Or a Yamaha...either one would do the trick for me.
