With the new Blade coming out in a few months I'd expect a lot of excitement for it. I'm a little disappointed that they didn't give it more power and the price tag seems a little high for the base model. I know the tests and comparisons aren't out yet but what does everyone think?
I like it. Lighter bike makes all the difference. With some aftermarket mods it should be a pretty nice package. Base price is a little high but let's see whether it's justified once the tests come out.
I'm withholding my excitement to see how it does in the superbike shootout tests. If it finishes on top of the rest I'll be interested. If it doesn't, there's always next year.
I do love the new bike...but not enough to spend that kind of money for it. I would rather have an S1000RR, which is what I had my sights on for the last few months.
But...now that I have been really looking around for 1K's, I am SET on finding a black 2007 1000RR...
The new bike looks interesting, and I'm very curious about the electronics. But the motor is too weak to compete with Kawi and Yamaha. And lighter street parts mean nothing - it's the same weight in race trim. Titanium stock muffler, really?
I never buy first year models of anything . They need to work the kinks out . Anyone remember 08 CBR and the new R1 . I do like the design of it but like others have said is it worth the money ?
