Old school metal for winter :-)

Saw this at the local dealers and fell in love with it so swapped it for the sv.

1995 rr-s 893cc, mint condition, and goes like stink. Really smooth engine. Love it!

Looks like a minter that, dunno what it was valued at or what your SV was worth, but you're happy, well done.

Wow that looks great - a shame to make it a winter hack!

I just got fed up of getting wet through with the naked sv, i had some silly idea about getting a maxi scooter so i went to have a look today at the dealers.

When i saw this i had to have it and to be honest as much as i really wanted a burgman i would have probably got ripped for getting a scooter.

And its not really a hack as im a fair weather biker these days so only use it when bbc, met offce and weather.com concur there will be no rain.

Looks an absolute minter. Welcome to the .org Blade Owners club!

[xXBADGERXx]

I have seen quite a few early `Blades and they are in amazing condition , mate in work let an "N" reg go for a Grand ... absolutely gutted as I could have bought it and flogged it on for a fair bit more :)

[cringer]

Woo hoo early crimbo present for me!

The blade has a scorpion exhaust on it and I got the box for the scorpion but didn't look inside as I just assumed it was the original blade can.

Anyway I had a look at it today and inside the box instead of the original can there was a 'practically' brand new moto arbo carbon stubby can worth 200 squid (Moto arbo were Beowulf b4 they were called Beowulf)

Well chuffed!!!

Best thing is I was planning on buying a Beowulf stainless stubby as I love the sound of Beowulf, so this has saved me a few quid.

I don't do winter riding anyway, as soon as the grit is on the ground I'm in the 5h1tbox micra. :pukel:

Fixed for you ;)

[barwel1992]

that looks very very well made, makes the bike look even better :D nice one

[hardhat_harry]

I had a Moto Arbo on my ZXR and yes my god are they loud!!

[L3nny]

Hondas rule! ;)

You still got your blade then? Done a real good job of selling it haven't you? Someone might say you didn't really want to sell it.;)

[cringer]

I didn't try to sell it? Only the scorpion can which I'll have to keep as the new can is a proper bacon alerter!

[steveg]

love the older blades , look a cracker :)

Guilty as charged! Can't see me ever getting rid of mine now.
