Baby Blade do I get one ?
So, anyone who read the thread about getting a Buell will know that I was pretty much decided on that, but I've also always wanted one of these.....

Re: How about this guys???
That looks really nice and I'm sure would be a great first bike but it's almost the complete opposite of the Buell! If it is cheap it would be a good bike to get some road confidence on while you continue to ponder the Buell

Re: How about this guys???
Any baby blade you buy will have been mercilessly thrashed and badly "maintained" by any owners it has had. Probably about 20 of them by now.
I would be seriously dubious about buying anything like that, 2 strokes get thrashed by their owners, but at least they are easy to rebuild!

Re: How about this guys???
It will need a careful going over to make sure it hasn't been in the hands of (several) thrashers, but if it's a good example it will be an absolute hoot to ride!

Re: Baby Blade do I get one ?
Other half had a black baby blade before the SV...he had rather a lot of fun on it. Its how i met him actually, he was invited up my my friend to have a peep at my 125.....he did a rolling burnout on the path outside....just to annoy the chaavy neighbours next door.
I shall return in a moment, to give you his advice on them. Hes gone to get another gallon drum of brake fluid for the Raptor
