It's a personal opinion. I chose the blade because it makes 150bhp feel manageqable plus the build quality is superb and the more comfortable riding position. I also love the RCV style - plure class.
X10s and GSXR look like a pile of s**t after a year. I did consider the R1 however after riding Stu748R's 1998 example all the ones that follow are Honda bland by comparison
