Default Hi from the UK

I've been hankering after an RR6-7 Blade for some time now, in fact since I bought my 954 last year. It was the first four cylinder bike and first sports bike I had owned and I loved it.

So, I've just got rid of the old 954 Blade and 2006 Tuono last week and picked this up instead. Its a 2006 (56) bike with less than 5000 miles on it. Not had much chance to ride it yet, literally one done about 10 miles on it. Its mega smooth, comfortable and blisteringly fast...think I'm going to like it. These are some pics I took today on its maiden short ride....can you spot why I turned around and rode home sharpish after taking these photos??

I've also got a BMW R1200S which is a keeper, its a fantastic do anything bike and a lot cooler/rarer than the ubiquitous GS.

Based in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

I left the numberplate at home by accident as I took it off to fit a tail tidy! Doh.

Welcome UK member! I was actually born in Shoreham by Sea (on the south coast).

Hot bike! Reminds me of my buddy's ducati. I feel like he talks down to me for riding a Honda. What a punk.
