new blade
« on: February 20, 2010, 06:11:37 PM »
finally got some sunshine today and that meant i got out for an hour on the new steed :icon_thumright: and gave me the excuse to wash and polish when i got it back home, fitted the zero gravity screen too which makes a fair difference.

I sooo nearly got one of these, in the same colours if the dealer had read the signs and tried a bit he may have sold it to me. But my heart was really always set on a 10.

Nice bike  :icon_thumright:

compared to my 10 its a lot smoother, the power is still there, in fact it feels like it has more in it than my 10 but its delivered better imo.
brakes are proberbly the biggest improvment though, where as my 10,s brakes where "nothing nothing nothing EVERYTHING!!!! the blades have a lot more feel and control.
handles well too even in the short space of time ive riden it it certainly feels lighter and more agile than the 10.
so all in all really pleased with it so far, loved my 10 when i had it and for the raw aggresion you wont beat it but the blade just seems that bit better in every other dept.
