Blimey,

I drop by my local dealer to check out some new boots, then have to go home and explain how on earth I ended up trading in my 06 600RR and putting my name down for an 07 Blade in HRC colours...

Roll on March 1!!!

Its easy, tell her there was no way the 600 colours would have matched the new boots. They understand that sort of thing

I don't think I've read any reviews of the new Blade?

Has one appeared in any of the mags yet? What sort of money did they want for the new bike?

Was looking at the new blades at nec show last year. They were stunning bikes and if i was able to afford changing bike, would be the bike to go for at the moment!

It's all a bit of a blur!!!

Moved from a 6 month old 0% finance deal, to a PCP. The game, to simply keep the monthly repayment the same. If you pick the math apart it makes no sense whatsoever, I'm deferring paying the price for swapping from a brand new bike 6 months in, with 900 quid negative equity on the finance, until the PCP is up in another three years... My head tells me no way Jose, keep the 600, but the HRC Blade is very limited availability. My dealer only had 1 left - with three people fighting over it!!! Must be good for the residuals...

See how I feel about the whole thing on Monday morning... :-)

Nah,

canned it. Lovely bike, but the 600 will be mine in two years, and I won't have to find a ton of cash for a balloon payment.

Maybe next time!!!



Cheers
