I think its a bit more unstandable going to a blade rather than a cbr400

why?

Cause the blade is ace, and loads better than the ZXR400. Whereas the ZXR400 and the CBR400 are pretty similar, and I would say the ZXR400 is better.

but otoh, the blade could be viewed as a waste/too fast for the roads/physically too big/etc.
where as the cbr4 could be viewed as offering honda reliability with the weight and handling benefits of a 400.
don't get me wrong, i'd have the 900 (cost, etc being equal), but it's not necessarily true (or "more understandable") for everyone's circumstances
and obv you're all traitors

tis true everyones different! and i was lucky to get my blade for 1800 quid, another thing i noticed today is I get more worried after a ride on the blade as i did over (an indicated) 150mph today which would never of happened on the zxr still its great fun though!

You never saw 150mph on your ZXR???
You weren't trying then!
(or never got the 444 kit

)

Chavyboy saw 150 on the speedo with a completely standard bike, weather he was doing that speed or not is very debatable tho.

well no matter what the speedos said, the feeling on the blade and the speed at which everything else was flying past me at was a hell of a lot more that on the zxr

Some bikes just feel damn fast whatever speed they're doing!
I know first hand that Suzuki RGV250's are one such bike - from what everyone tries to tell you, Fireblades are boring to ride...
I couldn't see me getting all that bored on one though!
