Think I've seen this said elsewhere on here but went to motorshow at NEC today fully prepared to love the new blade but oh my god the bike just feels cheap in the flesh... I know light is the aim but plastics on tail and side were just so flimsy and *****. Nothing stood out for me as having garage appeal. New gixxer didn't do it for me either. I'm sure they'll be great bikes when the head to heads come out but so glad I have what we have!
