Handles a bit different from the cbr6 I had, the 16" front wheel is a bit twitchy but soon got used to it. Had a permanent grin on my face all the way home! Its quite nippy Laughing

Cheers, I did a deal on my old CBR600f. The previously mentioned and a few hundred quid for the blade.

Nice, but looking past the rear wheel it looks like your chain is as tight as a bowstring!

Whats it like compared to the CBR6? I was toying with the idea of a similar move before getting my divvy, the blade is more or less the same price to insure as my divvy9 for some reason!

ha Wink Smile

Well i've had about 6 hours on it so far but... I was surprised just how different it is to the cbr 6, its a good test too as they're both the same year.

The blade handles a lot different, even tho its not quite as forgiving into corners as the 6 its very planted and smooth. I can see why people say they're easy to ride fast! It is fast, very fast but power delivery is a lot smoother, there is a LOT more torque and dare I say a little less exciting than the 6?? You really have to ride hard on the 6 and wind it up to do the kind of thing the blade will do quite effortlessly, which is very rewarding on the 6. But the blade is just awesome!! Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
