I rode over to Blade in Swindon on Wednesday and they had an SP in the showroom, it's stunning in the flesh, really desirable looking bike.

Yep, just ignorant.... you are hilarious biggrin
I see you just don't like FACTS that Honda itself puts out.
Quit your moaning. For the past 9 years, the Blade has consistently had the best and most usable superbike chassis for the road. Plenty of experienced riders will attest that it has a superlative chassis that doesn't need electronics to keep it in check. We get that you don't like the Blade, but don't piss on Rawwr's chips. The BladeSP is a fine machine, and the FACT is that professional journos and bike testers rated it #1 and better than your beloved Gixxer. In FACT, they rated the S1000RR and 1299s better too wink Maybe you like alt-facts? rofl
Quit being a baby.

I don't piss on anyone's chips (I am not a pervert) and the OP is grown up man who can suck up some opposite views, this being a forum and all.

I congratulated him on the purchase and am excited for him.

I am sure he is self-confident and self-sufficient man who can take some flack ON A FORUM and laugh it off, he does not need your kissing up and patting on the back.

Back to facts: Fireblade SP is a warmed up yesterday's dinner (could be from a Michelin 3-star restaurant for all I know) with some spices added to it and a price hicked up. You want something New and Different from Japan - get R1 or GSXR1000R.

Again, I have 2 CBR600s and had 2 954RR at the same time, but sold one to the best friend of mine to make him excited about bike riding again. When I am old like BN I will put 954RR on the living room wall.

I can make my own opinion, I do not need "journos" to do this for me, that is why I rode S1000RR, GSXR1000, Fireblade SP, R1, 1299S, RSV4 (albeit previous model). Did you, or you let people tell you what to think?

BTW, I own a Ducati as well.

HLK,
You portray your opinions as 'facts' and cross-post your same biased views across multiple threads. You voice those opinions of the latest superbikes against a baseline reference of a 15 year old bike: as good as the 954 was, it has been surpassed since then and is not a good baseline when comparing the very subtle nuances between the latest 2017 superbikes. You claim the current R1 is 'New and Different from Japan'. Well it isn't, and it was launched in 2015. You seem to get excited about your CBR600, but as good as it was, it really doesn't even merit discussion in this comparison. And importantly, your voiced opinion that the new BladeSP is a 'warmed up yesterday's dinner' is quite distasteful when the OP is excited about collecting his new BladeSP. So all-in-all, your strong opinions (based on approximately 3 years riding mostly CBRs if I'm not mistaken) and derisory opinion of the OP's new BladeSP really aren't that pleasant. It is sad you sully the OP's thread of testing, buying, then collecting his new bike with your opinionated drivel, and I suggest 'winding your neck in' as a good friend likes to say.

Come on Rawwr, it's 20mins past your collection time. Have you stopped smiling yet?

I think I might take one of these for a test ride to see how the suspension deals with the truly ste roads where I live. Having never tried a bike with electronic susp.

I know the owner quite well and I promised I'd bring it down to show them when I got it smile

Just managed 200 miles today and it really does -- to my untrained senses -- feel amazing. Very happy with my choice smile
