So which bike would have it... and why...

Re: Blade Vs Sp1
 

sp1 a better chasis and vtwin grunt twisty track youd have it i reckon.

Re: Blade Vs Sp1
 

oh fizz i think you should say what year blade though the new one would probably destroy the sp1.

The blade was the bike I always wanted as a kid. I'd have the 1998 in red and white I think (infact i almost bought one instead of the 7R). I don't know about the SP1 enough to comment really, other than the obvious - V2, high spec bouncy bits etc. they are also lovely looking bikes.

I imagine for all out performance an SP1 would beat a blade of the same era, but for an all rounder I'd pick the blade for usability.

Hovis' blade I cant remember the precise year his bike is though.

Re: Blade Vs Sp1
 

01 is it summat around that bout same age as the sp i think which is fair.

Re: Blade Vs Sp1
 

on the road the blade would have it i recon due to its rider friendlyness, on the track i think it would be closer i wouldnt like to call it but i think it would be close..

Re: Blade Vs Sp1
