New Blade, with 189bhp. No 200bhp like everyone else Honda? :confused:

Even without the magic 200bhp headline it still sounds like it's going to be a very nice track weapon.

unKle · 4 Oct 2016 at 15:29

According to the 44teeth article it's 189bhp (+11bhp) so my take on that is one of the versions they are bringing out is running a full on 200bhp. Probably the SP2.

Freeman · 4 Oct 2016 at 15:32

But won't all these 180bhp+ bikes be limited to 299kph anyway? Or has that gone out the window now?

Same power output for the RR,SP and SP2 apparently.

sad to see that the CBR250RR looks better than the 1000 and the 600 is gone :/

Well the speedo goes upto 299kph, but the tachometer keeps rising, only by what I've seen on YouTube officer

If these manufacturers don't bring at least 200bhp to the table then the race teams will turn to someone who will. I'm talking about the TT for starters (let alone WSB/BSB), John McGuinness will be v happy about the new 'Blade.

Learners that want a "sports" bike and want to lose £1.5k in 12 months

Exactly, buying a new 125 is financially one of the dumbest things you can do.

That said, the 125 Tuono looks fantastic.

Excellent thread, keep 'em coming folks

I think I've found my next bike in the form of a street cup. Cool looking thing. Now, a 0% finance deal and I'm in.

Ducati 939 Supersport S

£11k for the base model, £12,300 for the S.

Obligatory Suzuki promo clip for the new GSX-R1000R

I don't know what you mean?

Fireskull · 5 Oct 2016 at 08:58

I quite like the Ducati 939 Supersport

Drangueos · 5 Oct 2016 at 09:57

Is that a Silencer and Cat all in one? must be to be that big...
so why not do it separate and make it smaller, seriously how do engineers and designers come out with something like this.

Also if I was doing a Suzuki promotional video, I would show the bike from the left side only

It's not just down to emissions, sound levels are also much more tightly controlled with a new test as part of Euro4 regs so that'll play a part in them putting massive hideous end cans on.
