Lookin to upgrade

[Gemini]

just got back from a long ride on my 7r to clear my head

verdict: i have owned my 7r for 18mths, and tbh it still impresses and scares the toad out of me in equal measures!

i think until the bike starts to bore me i will keep it, just replacing it for a newer model seems quite wasteful, as im sure there are plenty of bikers out there who would love my 7r

im starting my company next yr, so i think until that gets off the ground and starts bringing the money in, splashin out several grand on the zx10 is quite foolish,

and i will use a newer bike as motivation to make my biz work, so if im still trading after 12mths, it will b a well done present to myself

Yeah, thought I heard something...

[superman]

no way, i think the new blade looks awsome. it aint got funny lookin beedy eyes or anything hidious.

[rene]

yep its kind of link a mondeo, nothing offensive, out spoken, exciting or diffrent. Its made to be acceptable by everyone rather than loved/hated by some people (ie boring). What of course honda are extramly good at.

[superman]

hang on you have a TL... nothing wrong with honda they look good in my view.

[rene]

no one will ever tell you that the TL is any of them things, infact its got the nick name the widow maker, can hardly be that boring now can it

[superman]

theres loads of snags with the TL's frame cracks, breaks spongy, over heating something to do with the rear spring. althoe i think it depends what model you get and everyone who rides em generally like them BUT if you compare to the mighty fireblade lol

i do like the look of the new blade its mint for my next bike it will either be a suzuki or yamaha, althoe it might be the new blade because i like the look of it so much but i wana ride the 4 main types done kwak an honda. althoe i sometimes wish i had an R6 as oppose to the CBR but either way.

if you think in mobile phone terms theres a reason why lots of ppl pick a particular model aint there. you can pick something to be different but your cutting your nose off to spite your face aint ya.

[Xphyral]

not always. bikes like mobile phones are suited to some more than others, a majority of people will require the same things from a product but a few want other features.

[rene]

i never said that the blade dosnt perform well i said it was boring. It wont give you a toad your pants moment unless you do somthing stuiped. I love toad your pants moments it keeps the hart rate going.

I've riden a blade and the 600rr and both were very unexciting but still very capable bikes.

[superman]

see look i get whats goin on here you throw an insult then follow it up by a compliment lol.
but to be honest im not qualified to say that 100%, its the most exciting bike cos i aint ridden the compertition althoe i have had a go on a gsxr an found the honda to be more racy. but i would love to get my hands on a new blade i think you would get them toad your pants moments on it for sure.
the worst 1 i think would be realising you have been followed by the police doin 150mph
