ive wanted a fireblade since they came out back in 92,insurance was way to expensive so had several other bikes over the years,after about 10 bikes i got a zx6 had for 7 months and got rid as it felt too small,traded in for a bandit 1200 back in 2002 and kept it for over 5 years,i loved it,blew most sport bikes off on it etc,got used to it i guess,i traded in last month for the 2007 blade,awesome peice of kit,got my dream bike at last,or have i???.taken me 1300 miles to get used to it thou,feels so small and cramped compared to my bandit,feel i could ride the bandit much quicker in n out of bends etc,i love the blade for its looks and sheer power,trouble is i just dont feel very confident on it,is this just cos i was used to the bandit for so long or am i just gettin old?,i was a hooligan on the bandit,now it seems i ride like i born again biker,the blade is growin on me,i am feelin more confident by the day,will i ever be able to chuck it around like i did the bandit?
