Hi all,

I was searching the net and found this forum, looks well.

I have an old blade, owned it for 2.5 years - does the job for me.

 

I'm also a newb on the forum. Just trying to poke around, take in all the info. Welcome aboard

 

Welcome to CBRF, fastbikefinder!
Glad you like the site, man. Bunch of UK guys around, too...

So you got any pics of your blade you can post up? We like seeing the overseas bikes. Yes we do.

Any other info you have about yourself or your bike would be cool, too.
Anyway, welcome aboard and ride safe!

 

Thanks for the welcome,

So far she's had:

It's an evolution - don't know if I'll ever stop modding it but funds make the process slower than I'd like.

When I first bought it 2.5 years ago my plan was to put the TTS supercharger conversion on it (£3,500 )
Gives it 220bhp at the wheel, but then I moved from London to Cambridge and they don't pay the same as London so that dream is on hold for now.

I'm thinking of doing this:



But with a GP style race can like the R6 micron stubby, or maybe a growler, but I'm not so sure about the '08 tail now. At first I thought it'd be a nice mod as it's from the blade range, but as time goes on I think the RR6 standard tail looks better, so maybe I'll just go with the GP can.

What do you guys think?



I would also like to put one of these on my bike:





but over here they are still £500 or so 2nd hand so I'll wait until they come down in price as my wife and kids a real expensive.

I'd like to get over to the USA and do the Dragon one time - would have to rent a sports bike over there for that - It's a lifelong dream - maybe when my kids are grown up.

 

Man, that's a sweet RR you've got there!!!! Looks like you've done quite a bit to her already.
I don't know as I really have a preference on the exhausts either way you go. I do like the swingarm, though. I've always thought they looked cool..
But there again, I guess it all comes back to personal preference.
Either way, it's a cool bike. Thanks for sharing...

 

Hi & welcome aboard!
Beautiful 'Blade ya got....I think the only mod you should do would be the single-sided swingarm...just my .02...bike looks great otherwise
