Ugly tree, branch, hit... You know the rest.

Ugly ugly ugly.................................

Hmm i feel im not alone here:lol: Thats a face only a Welsh man could love;)

The tail looks crap, the rest i could live with :Suspiciou
Nik.

Too be honest i saw ths bike late last year and hated it but the race pic looks :cool: it will be a very good riding bike if anything like the past blades

I didn't like it either from the pictures, but saw one 2 weekends ago at a dealers, and it was much better in the flesh.
Seen Fastbikes early review of it and seems like it would be a fantastic road bike.
I usually change my bike after 3 years, so might be tempted. I simply can't go for a 3rd GSXR1000 (had K1 and now K6).
Also under a lot of pressure from the Mrs as she has the CBR600RR, an S2000, and I drive a Civic-TypeR, and shes wanting to be an all Honda family :-)

Must say I thought build quality was miles better than Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki.

Decisions, decisions......

i think that mush is a grower, makes up for it with that arse.

Pud

p.s. somehow that repsol paint job doesn't sit well on it imho

what colour you getting milf?

I must admit the one I saw at the show was lovely,

Cant beat honda build budy, but its allways on the boring side, speaking from my experiences:thumb:

That is one hellish colour scheme....

That design is just plain wrong :o The race one looks ok but that's because the rear is lifted up ont he paddock stand. Drop it down and it wil look just as awful at the Repsol one, a high front end and a really low/non existant rear end which looks hideous. Not the shape a sports bike should be. (Dont doubt it's an incredible machine in terms of performance though).

Hmmm. Looked at it last night and it really does look way better in the flesh, I think perhaps because of the angle - you're looking down at it slightly, get on the same level (where the photos usually come from) and it doesn't look as good.

But the proof will be in the riding, and I'm looking forward to an extended test on it in the next couple of weeks. After all, you can't see what it looks like from the saddle...

I posted this on another site, but here's my take on the new Blade.

"Went to my local Honda dealer yesterday to have a proper look.

The quality of the bike, which was shockingly poor on the show models, has improved with the production version. The wet weight of the bike is meant to be about 199kg, which is excellent. smile They had all 4 colour schemes in stock, so it was good to compare. White/Black looks best.

Despite the fact that the Blade is bound to be great to ride, it's fackin' awful to look at. A superbike with Droopy looks. The exhaust is nasty. The seat unit is angular, and at odds with the "melted" front end. The inset tank badge and proud CBR badge on the fairing are tacky in the extreme.

The engineering appeals to me but I'll never own one because it's so ugly and unresolved."

new blade is filth to look at im afraid , its gonna be a sales flop for sure .

who care what it looks like isent it what it actualy does thats the main thing .

i bet it wins the tt this year just you see if it dont ........ ! :thumb:

ps stuntman no cb500 jokes either .:p

Thats one of those things that look odd at first and after a few months you think yeah thats where things are going... lokks awsome... sounds daft but you guys who think its fugly will think different in a few months you watch... I remember seeing the first Ford Siera,m and wow did that look different compared to all the square stuff..... i think the new blade is ok, not stunning, but time will tell...

people said the same about the duc 999 :cuckoo:
