I love the older blades, can't decide if I prefer a 929 or 954, but either would do!
Keep thinking about chopping the TT600 in for one, but think I'd cry if I dropped it on a track day!!

So here's a pic of the intrepid Ian aka Bob on the Blade this morning
and one of Pete who currently rides a Kawasaki GTR 1400 reliving his youth as he used to have this exact model:
If Ian buys this or something similar there will be 4 new bikes on this year's European trip, Ian on a Blade, Kyle on a GSXR 1000, Cat on a Yamaha V-Max and me on the BMW HP2 Sport. More details on our website - www.bbot.co.uk

Im so jealous, I have tried my bike test twice, I just cannot do it. Im a great pillion but a terrible rider. Been on the back of various bikes including a Busa and desperately want one. Thinking may be one of the new three wheeled Apria's might fit the bill!

Good luck if you try again, 3rd time lucky and all that.

get yourself a learner bike and put the miles in, it will come with time.

Well Ian was successful in a Fleabay auction which ended yesterday evening, and today we went to Chirk to pick up his purchase - a 2000 929 Blade with 10,500 miles on the clock, a genuine looking bike that appears to have been well looked after:
