It was my second Blade Rossgo. And in the last 10 years of biking, 6 of them years have involved Blade ownership.

I would own another tomorrow and can easily see my next bike being a Blade again.

That's a long time to be honest must be totally different having your ZX10R now

The ten is very different. Enjoyable but different. I did own other bikes at the same time as the Blades Rossgo, but hand on heart I think the two Blades I have owned have been my favourite bikes.

Haha that's very comforting Blade. Doesn't sound like I'd be going to far wrong then

I m confident you won't be disappointed Rossgo and as a road bike the Blade has few equals. Plus as its not seen as the latest and greatest some great deals around new and used alike.

This is what I've heard to its more comfy for the road and has been set up accordingly which really appeals to me. I want to just do it now haha!! We have a great dealership just down the road (Blade) and to be honest think most of them know me by name [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES] so if I was to but a nearly new bike (few years old) them would happily go there.

When are you looking to change Rossgo ?

I made a cheeky offer of £50 for a pair of nearly new zx6r callipers and the bloke has taken it

Means I'll have a spare set for the kwak.

Good buy

Is it an upgrade ? What are the plans for the old set ?

It's like for like.
It means I can clean a set at my leisure.
The old ones have got some chips and marks on them so it'll spruce the bike up.
Long term I want a new front wheel so I can have a track day braking set up (discs and pads) and a road set up.

Track and road set up sounds a good idea for what I know you have planned for the sixR

No prob be in a year or 2 yet due to the theft claims. Bums me out thinking of it like rant as I would of been looking now or would of done it if I had my NCB behind me !

Get a quote on a comparison site Rossgo.

The Blade was surprisingly cheap for me to insure.

I bet you didn't have a couple of claims to your name.

The people insuring the zx6r wanted a £1,000 premium for the SX when I called about insuring it.

I think people need to shop around and your right i didn't have theft claims but did have 6 points. All I'm saying is give it a look it may not be that much more expensive than his 600rr as the theft risk will be rated on value not increased performance and both bikes are equally as popular to thieves.

Just trying to help it might be better than imagined is all I'm suggesting.

Gsxr750 the Bike I probably should have bought

I love it and wont be changing for a while, but in real terms the 750 would be more than enough for the road

Was just trying to throw a curve ball for rossgo

I had a gsxr 750 ,it was an awesome bike ,went like fook, handling like a 600 but with more grunt and good on the road

I wish someone would update the 750 class it hasn't had a decent makover in 15 years.
