Firing the 'Blade down the A35 heading to Bournemouth from the Bakers Arms Roundabout this evening, my odometer clicked past 20,000 miles. For a bike that's coming up to 13 years old, that's not too bad at all. The 1098s is already showing 18,300 odd, but I added 2000 of those in ten days over the summer, so thats a bit unfair. I do like this bike a lot, but I have been thinking about a 2008 Zx10R. I just like them, especially in orange. We shall see.
In the meantime my time with the FireBlade has been a pretty good one if I'm honest. She still looks good (a few stone chips aside) and apart from getting me in trouble a few weeks back, she's been good as gold. It's still so easy to ride. I'm 6ft 3, but even with standard pegs higher than those on the Ducati, the 'Blade is all day comfy. It's fast, comfy and it's fun, what more do you want from a motorbike?
