New Respol Fireblade

[scotia_steve74]

Had a look at the new Blade and it's slowly growing on me!

This is my take on the 08 Respol colours!

Always likes fireblades.

Next years track bike

I'm tempted to make my 07 Blade into a track bike but maybe too much power?

Going to test ride a new street triple tomorrow for an everyday bike!

I'm always tempted to step up to a thou, however, have resisted to date.

I doubt you'd enjoy a thou as much on the track, I could be wrong but my GSXR was less fun than the R6 cup I hired due to the extra weight.

I would agree, too much power for the track, at least the ones round here - a 600 would be better!

My opinion, it looks awful, what has Honda done to an iconic machine?

Agreed as ugly as a bag of pigs.

Whats with that front end!!!

The 06-07 blade looks fab, especially in the nail silver.

another to agree, like the fireblade but that just looks bad

A step into bland land...the repsol colours may look better in real life...it needs to ...a step in the wrong direction a tad in the styling dept...a shame because the 06/07 models were bang on.

I think it has something to do with the photoshopping (have I just made a new word?)

That's probably not the best colour, as every one is used to seeing the current model in the paint scheme.

I think it will look great with the pillion pegs off, tail tidy and different exhaust.
