hey,
i have a 98 blade.. and i am really torn.. about selling help me out with the pro's and cons... i want to go up to a 2003-05 cbr600rr... i am around 6'1 215.. sometimes i just feel like i am riding an overly bulky bike and can't do what the other guys are doing.. =/

 

The 600rr will be way to small for you. Your knees will be hitting fairing. It's a great bike but you are a little too big for it.

 

Hate to say it man but monkey is right todays bikes look like there made for someone who is 5'3 130 pounds (exceptions busa,zx-14). plus the great thing about the 98-99 900rr was still ahead of its time and even compared too todays bikes it is still a very stylish bike and the performance well honda does says performance first I guess what im trying to say man is if you bought a 05 600rr you would look like a monkey ****in a football. add some mods to your blade there is so many thing you could do to make it every bit as competent as the new bikes good luck man and i hope you don't sell the blade but what ever you do don't buy outside of honda!!!
