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

This is my take on the 08 Respol colours! wink

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!!! hurl

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

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.
