Sold Blade, bought BMW.

[Andz]

Hi. Bought a 2011 s1000rr a few days ago and took it straight to Oulton Park for a shakedown. Within three sessions I was lapping 2 seconds faster than my 14 plate blade. Felt mint from the start. I'll be having a full suspension set up by TW, power commander and quick action throttle over the next couple of months ready for next year's track day season starting in February. It'll also be my road bike and my Austrian touring bike. Hope it lives up to its reputation.
