hello everyone , i`ve decided to put her back to standard , i have ordered a new seat fairing as mine was not the best , i`ll now pull her apart and get stuck into the rebuild , i was looking at going the rs125gp seat route , but do you know what , she doesnt need it as standard i have convinced myself is fine ,i`ll get one of those chinese rear seat cowls to try as i only ride solo and they do look good , i`ll get her back on the road and used during summer and then over this coming winter , i`ll get the paintwork tidied up and the seat fairing is white not blue , lots of pics as i go

yessssss , at last , she’s out n about , I tell ya what she didn’t miss a beat , the only problem is I can only cover 15 miles between stops , at 32 I had to get off , arrived home with 50 miles done and my neck n wrists are screaming . But hey , it was great fun , she’s nearly 20 year but she still cuts a long well

Here it is out in the Cotswolds earlier today.

I still think Honda are missing a trick not producing a similar bike, a Flat barred naked Blade with around 170 bhp and more low down torque would be a winner, like me, most sports bikes riders are getting older, there is a huge market for super-nakeds and the current CB1000R is just a bit boring.

hello lads , truth be known , i`m in discussions with my local dealer to chop in my daily mt09 and the 954 for a mt10 , i ride 6 days a week and although the blade is good , i`ll be heading back to one bike , very early in talks and will be test riding the mt10 soon hopefully , the only doubt i have with the 10 is how it will cope with snow etc as its a big lump , where as the mt09 had no issues due to being light etc , this is my third mt09 , previous i had 2 x fz1n gen 2`s which i should not have sold , i enjoyed the high speed stability of the fz compared to the mt09 , anyways , not there yet , so we shall see , unsure to put the blade on ebay or send to dealer as yet

hello Gunk , i had the MT10 demo this morning , its an awesome bit of kit , not as fast as i thought it would be , but i have now purchased and brand new all black 2021 MT10 , collect it next saturday dinner time , the 954 is sold and gone , i need to keep using my MT09 this week , so thats still here till i ride to the dealer next week , during the ride the bike said it was 4 degrees and it rained solid for 45 mins . the bike was great , had pirreli`s on this one . you can tell they are restricted , i`ll get mine run in and then its de-cat and off to the dyno , first off , get the bike and get it run in

Last commute today on the 09 , the 10 arrives tomorrow late as I at work and the weather is horrendous tomorrow , so heading out Sunday to start getting the 10 run in . 180 to insure the 10 fully comp . It’s handy being 50
Bye bye 09 , you did great

Great photos, did about the same amount of miles on mine this morning, it came home filthy, but it’s brilliant in the wet, complete planted.

thats awesome gunk , we had a lot of rain yesterday and some hard down pours thrown in , so much crap washed onto the roads , tons of damp patches , but the 10 walked it with ease , the 10 has come with bridgestone s20r tyres , i`m not normally a fan of factory fitted tyres , but these are great , the 10 begins commutting duties in the morning , 6 days a week and rain forecast on several days , gonna be a good test , the stability over the 09 is superb , i am an 09 fan boy , i`ve had 3 and all set up on a dyno , when the 10 is sorted , shes gonna be a corker
