Thumbs up Very different bikes

How is she size and performance wise in comparison with the Hurricane? Would be very interested to hear your opinions, if I was to sell my old girl I'd replace her with one of the older Blades.

Heather looks a little too comfortable on the new addition, you may have a fight on your hands there!
Steve,
I have only done a few miles on the blade but they are very different to the CBR1000F. Easiest way to compare them is to think of the 1000 as a ballistic sofa where as the blade is a missile on steroids. 100% input 100% of the time on the blade. Not as much room as its sport rather than tourer but my gawd what fun. Blatting country lanes is excellent fun and a lot easier than the 1000 due to the weight and shorter wheelbase.
This is why I have kept the ZZR1100 - sport/tourer and added the sport with the blade. Best of both worlds.
We are going around the Kent coast on the 10th August, like the run we did a while ago if you are interested.
Hope the family are well.
Rich

Nice one Rich!

Thanks for the catch-up. And I echo Hawk's comment. Heather looks VERY comfortable on the 'Blade.

Stay safe you two.

Cheers, SB
