Information: This is my first 4-stroke sportsbike i own. After i had sold the kawasaki kr-1s i wanted a 4-stroke becouse of the trips me and my friends make to Germany, Belgium and in the future france and maybe even further. A 2-stroke just and really reliable for this kind of trips. First i thought the Kawa was fast but it is slow compared to the Blade. I have changed the bike a little this winter by polishing the frame and swingarm, powdercoating the wheels dark-gold and making minor adjustment. A new picture is on the agenda.
