Picked it up last night and rode it from Southampton to Croydon.

Immense fun and loud as hell. Whoever says you cant go BIG from a 125cc?

Many thanks to Hetzer for his help. Thumbs Up

Better pictures when I have them, for now an ebay one:




***edit***
Better pictures added.

The bike is mental, absolute great fun and very reassuring to ride. Infinitely easier than a NSR 125.

Only thing I have had to do is remove the slack in the throttle cable. I was getting too much transmission snatch on mini-roundabouts and the like.

Scorpion can is really loud and a head turner. Some schmuck has attempted to a BS mark - very badly. I will have to grind it off.

Hi Drew,

Had a NSR. The Blade is actually easier in terms of not having to constantly change gear. Feels so solid and sturdy.

By no means do I think I have the measure of the Blade but I will have fun getting to know it.

Pukka bikes, they look they go for reasonable money on flea gay and i'm quite tempted to get one when i get my full license but undoubtedly i'd get arse raped for insurance.

There are benefits to be had in being 34 and working for your insurance provider.

Passed my test in October, have 2 years NCD and am paying £250 TPFT for the year and that covers me to ride other bikes too.

Have some mates all too keen to play swappsies.

Well there are fuck all of benefits to had being 19 and a general bum!

I did do some quotes for a Bandit 6 and i'm looking at 600 fully comp...time to start doing some more research into how much one of these would set me back tpft or fully comp.

It really does suck being a kid sometimes, despite the fact i feel like an old git already and i'm not looking forward to turning 20 Laughing

Nice bike fella!

So your missus said if you last all the way on the sex timer, you could have a new bike? Wink

I was going to buy the same model, but i just can;t afford insurance. 1 SP30 on my licence and one pending at the age of 20 isn't very good for your insurance Sad

Looks an awesome bike, have fun on it Thumbs Up
