It’s last year’s Blade in HRC colours. Doble’s seem to have bought the last few from Honda and, once I made my mind up I preferred it to the 2008 Blade, I hunted round until I found a spanking new HRC one before they all got sold.
Thanks to everyone for their superb comments. The bike truly is awesome. 130 miles clocked up yesterday and I think a combination of age and new the riding position had me aching like you just wouldn’t believe!
I have (and have had for some time) every good intention of getting to Borough.
Trouble is I live in East Sussex and work strange hours so it’s been difficult. I’ll definitely be up there in the Spring and really look foward to putting faces to names!
