  1. Hi,

    Adam here. just put a deposit down on a 1299S from Blade Abingdon ( heard mixed reviews on them ). Picking it up next week but haven't told the wife yet.

    I passed my test in 2019 and had a K5 600 for a year then an L6 1000 after that. been after something special for a while now so took the next step.

    the GSXR was a great bike and done a 700 mile tour round devon and cornwall on it.

    Once i get the new bike i will post up some pics in the pics thread.

  3. Ps. The Panigale will be nothing like the Suzuki to ride, but you’ll get used to it and will see why they’re special :)

  13. Hi and welcome.
    Blade are ok (even good at times) to buy from but personally I would not get a Ducati serviced there. Just a personal observation.
    Enjoy the bike. It will be awesome.
