Finally managed to get out on the Blade today. First proper ride out on it and she's a keeper
52K on the clock and still runs lovely. The bike has the odd cosmetic mark but for £1500 I am pretty pleased with myself. After initial worries about whether I would get on with riding position/comfort (I'm 50 this month) I was pleasantly surprised. Well over an hour in the saddle and no aches or pains. Actually found it far better than the KTM390 Duke I had before.
Roads still a bit sketchy in places, bring on Spring
