The 08 Blade

[Rsv4Col]

The thing with the underseat exhausts is that if you do have an off they dont get damaged and usually the bike is rideable. Had a mate who had a blade, low sided, bike hit the hedge slid across the road and he still managed to ride it home

I think they look quite smart. its also quite impressive how tiny they are. I still dont think I could bring myself to consider buying one though.

[webster]

sat on one today, just out of interest, sadly i could never buy one, as it's far too small for my lanky frame (6' 4"), did look very nice though

[watters]

never ridden one but i personally cant stand the look og them,just looks like they mis-matched different parts of different bikes together! but then i feel that about the new zx10 aswell!
bring back the styling of 2004, the best looking blades,zx10's,gsxr's etc etc!

i can't argue with that, they're not strangled by stupid emmisions laws too.

the front end looks kinda wrong,its like they bought a 1098 and rode it into the wall and squated it but saying that i think it looks good in race plastics with a graphics board fitted

[guzzers]

personally i prefer the front end of the new one and the back end of the old one.


hummm perhaps some sorta fusion could occur

Buy it Jay you only live once i prefer it in repsol colours

[BladeMan]

Don't get it in repsol colours they get nicked.

[deej]

didnt realise they were doing the 08 in repsol colours,bet that looks proper tasty

[dayz]

would prefer it in ten kate colours they got a right up/test of the 08 blade vs 07 blade in this months superbike mag which i read regularly, to sum up; smaller/lighter/faster, everything works perfectly, new litre king, some of the testers agreed it was best bike theyve ridden on road and track they can remember.

ive been reading their mag for 2 or so years so am inclined to believe their opinions, and i have tried other mags, its either that or the k5 750 for me next year, depending what deals i can get

I know i have only just got the GSXR 750 K7 but if i had had the money i think i would have gone the 08 Blade route myself. Awesome bit of kit and i quite like the looks as well, but then i like the look of the BMW GS
