So did I. Tested it for half a day. What an aweful bike. I hear Honda are changing it's name to the Bland. If that's the only experiance you have of litre jap bikes, don't assume they are all the same and let the Blade/Bland put you off considering a jap in the future. The R1 is by far top of the league in every respect.....................followed by the ZX10R..................

R1 IS KING! (Love the frog, love it I do)
