You'd need Baldricks crew to dig that out

I nearly bought the same model blade but I'm so happy I didn't . The R1s are true beasts.

The blade when i got it in 2005 was a great bike , nothing compared to what i have now though, the blade is a very easy bike to ride and very forgiving.
I dont think the r1 will allow such and is ready to eject if you get it wrong lol

ERRRRR thank you , i think lol

[Scrapman]

Yes, I've heard peeps say the Blade is boring. Bit harsh that as I think like you and would say its " forgiving"
Same goes for the 600, great bike to learn limits on .

I sold the blade to a friend of mine who i would say was slow on track, 1st time out on the blade and he was lapping 2 seconds quicker than before and he got his 1st knee down.
Perfect for the starter bike on track

And thats a very sensible approach, it will all come to you just practice and take your time..
I can still remember my 1st ever race meeting, started the day with a practice session then qualify. I never expected to get up the field in my first go so it wasnt any shock being 33 out of 36 in qualify.
What really got me was leaving the paddock and taking up my spot on the grid and being waved off for the warm up lap.. Thats where it all went wrong , i can remember watching every bike charge off into the distance leaving me fighting with everything i had just trying to stay near the tail enders. i was just thinking if this is warm up im fkd in the race lol.
Well thankfully it wasnt as bad as i thought and i ended up in 27th phewwwwwww, but hey it was a big eye opener from being what i thought was fast on the track doing a trackday.
It took me a few race meets to get comfy with the speed and the rubbing lol.

Just be patient and all will work out , you will learn heaps every time you get on track and before you know it you will be on auto pilot when it comes to body posistion and that alone will improve your times and fun as its less to think about

How I recall my first race meeting at Cadwell, I thought I was quick and ended up 32 out of 38, damn I had no idea none at all. If you have what it takes and you believe in yourself then good things happen. there is nothing to compare with the feeling of blasting into the first corner elbows out, aggressive but controlled riding. Miss that buzz

Welcome in mate. Some nice bikes you have/had.

I still enter when i can and have done some endurance races, the 1st endurance race i took part in was with 2 other guys and 1 bike the gsxr750. the gixxa is standard apart from suspension,we entered what we thought was the juniors to get our feet wet only to find out when we got to oulton that we were infact in the nationals(oh fk) 36 teams of rider and nearly on on kit that would have any biker drooling at the mouth(fully worked 1000cc machines with pit limiters ,quick dump fuel rigs and so on). This was going to be fun if nothing else.
We got ready and put our top rider out on the qualifi, he managed an impressive 15th place . i took the start waiting nervously on the opposite side of the track for the green light, sprint to the bike and off and running. After my 20 min 1st session we were placed in 14 so not bad i thought as id held off lots of big machines.
The race was 3 hrs long and we took turns each riding for 20 mins, unlike the club racing there was room on the track to do as you needed and not banzi corners with 30 riders all trying to kill each other. at the end of the race we were 10th on the screens but had to wait for final results to be calculated, ends up with us taking 6th place over all after points were deducted for pit lane speeds and other rules being broken.. Best time ive ever had on 2 wheels i must say
