    I love my blade, rather than sell it, I would just try get an additional bike.. or bikes and sell/swap them to keep it interesting, but the blade can stay haha.

    For the same reasons I'll never part with my K2. Even though it isn't original now, it's still the bike that mags are now writing up/re-testing/comparing to. Sure they don't handle quite look a new one, but that engine is simply intoxicating. And the handling isn't that bad, not with a few dollars and setup chucked at it.

    Hey Eddie,

    you wanted to see the new paintjob?

    Ive had the fairings repaired and the whole bike resprayed satin black with a blue metallic, which unfortunately doesnt really show in pictures, but the bike looks satin black when its dark or dirty, and the blue really pops out at you under light.

    Got sick of those stupid sticks on the heel gaurds, so I stripped them off and lightly sanded them to tidy them up, now they have a similair finish to the rest of the frame.

    Bought some rim tape a while ago, and decided to fit that as well, so it looks pretty intense now.

    Topped it off by finally fitting my plate to it, which has been gathering dust since I sold my car.

    Is 99 cutting it a bit too late? No desire to trade to anything later to be honest, plenty of fun as is

    yea bro nice, it looks nice and straight now - yea the color def doesn't show up on the photos sadly - I recon it needs some graphics/stickers.. but I'm a sucker for having everything look original. would love to see the blue show up under light. Enjoy it! hows the cam chain etc.. all sorted? what was prob?

    nah you're still good hehe looks sweet. that still a 900cc (919 or something) or is it the 929.. think the creator, Tadao Baba's favourite was one of the last 900 versions.. 929 or 954.
