Only Honda I've spent time on was a VFR800. That bored the pants off me. 

Mr 63 won't let me have a go on his 'blade  

You've never asked. Your quite welcome to have a try!

I've never tried an 03 or an 04 Blade but I was terribly disappointed with the 05 model that I tested.

I did try getting Blade to let me have a go on his but he's so stingy with his things that I think he wakes up at nights checking his wallet and other precious things in his house in the middle of the night.
