After many years of waiting, I'm finally getting a new bike :Punk:. Should pick her up next Wednesday, unless the weather is gonna be shit. She will have some stuff on her, mainly crash bobbins and other safety things :innocent:.



Couldn't be happier, dreams come true. :wari:

nice bike there, took one for a test last month - reminded me of the tomahawk cruise missile.

Way too fast for me, I think I will wait for my duke.

For the last two years, since I moved to NZ i had a VTR 250 2007. Just to get my licence going.

When I was in Russia I had CBR400RR, Yami YZ450F, Yami TV200 and smaller once that I cant remeber. Was riding since I was 8, had 3 scooters too.

Yes, let's have fun this month at Toepaw - I'll bring mine if you bring yours...:rockon:

Nice ride BTW. Check out the Yoshi (http://www.yoshimura-rd.com/ps-3672-1316-r-77-stainlesstitanium-slip-on.aspx) systems here - the Blade looks unbelievably horny (yes, I can't believe it!)

I'm getting my bike from Botany Honda, and they had other customer who got a blade with Yoshi. Looks awsome, but I just dont have the $$$ for it atm. Some time later, in any case I dont really want just a slip on, I would go for a full system.

I never had any problems with the looks, i love it :love: .

The day it was announced and they published some first pics, I was like :eek: all over the screen. Then I scrolled down the page to see people puke :girlfight: .

I just loved it first sight, I probably got different to most tastes :innocent:.

There are some more pics in my profile album, I've been riding the bike for 2 days now, and it is absolutly fucking awsome. My back is killing me tho, im just not worthy. :baby:=)
