| KP, I have seen the other post and left a message there.
As soon as I get the price from Spareshack I will let you know, he quoted about 2 weeks for delivery.
BDG, You are correct about the price of the Blade, I thought that with it being current ltd edition that £8,000 seemed fair but when I have asked around the dealers want 05 model Blades for around £6,500 to retail at under £8,000 Repsol or not and a couple also said that race replicas are usually poor sellers once the colours change although with the Blade being official it might not be so bad. Apparently the guy had been offered £8,000 against a brand new 999S so I suppose if he is buying a £14,000 bike then £8,000 is not a lot really ?
So maybe if he had offered £4,000 + the Blade I might have been tempted but as my Ducati dealer said if I got the Blade to get out of the Ducati then wanted to sell the Blade straight away what the hell would I buy !!!!!!!!!!
