Got a new bike to play with......

yes it's a honda (but someone tried to cunningly disguise it with a GSXR fairing) - first time i've owned anything other than a suzuki

can't complain - a '97 blade for less than $2000.

can't ride it for a while - cos it's in the UK. should have daytime MoT sorted sometime, then it'll be there for me to ride round the IOM next june :)

don't know whether to leave the fairing in place - or go for a streetfighter. my brother says it looks better in real life.

just got to wait for the collar bone and shoulder blade to heal....

Well...you can't complain about that anyways. What a score. That's a disposable motorcycle. Bring it back and we can turn it into a sidecar. My brother's not too bright, he'll swing.

I see your slowly weaning yourself off Suzukis. I mean would you have brought it if it was pure Honda or would more intense therapy sessions be required for that. (I didnt read about your shoulder, looked at your last picture and thought "What a strange motorcycle frame"):doh: .
