Welcome! Great to have another Englander amongst us.

Hope you're not planning on touring on your new Blade. It's hardly the couch that 9R was. However, sheepofblue, resident 1000RR iron-arse, tells us the big thou tours just fine.

A 954 isn't exactly a distance machine, especially with that stock saddle. Hell, it's been two summers and I'm still sore from that sumbitch.

I need a new front tire then this spring I am going for the official certificate. Should also get me a ride in Louisana on the way to all 48 lower states

Re: newbie just saying hi

the weight difference and few more ponies is definetly worth it.
you can send that ZX9R over here. I'm trying to start a bike collection but no one seems willing to help, ie donate a bike to the cause.

Re: newbie just saying hi
collected the 03 blade on saturday, 120 miles in 7 degs on m1 and a38 not the most pleasant ride in my life,bikes nice smooth that will be the fuel injection,did not have much chance to dicover the hand ling but it feels lighter than the zx9,power seems about the same nice suspension and riding postion is great,as i am going to lemans for the gp in may i hope its stays that way,screen could do with being higher,(im 6ft 1).all in all im v.v.happy with the new bike,ordered a akrapovick can for it will i need to put a power commander on or will it run fine.
