Poor fuelling has plagued this bike and that, unfortunately, is the one trait that holds it back on all fronts. I felt like I could brake later and harder on it, but then it took half of the corner just to get the thing settled after doing the old Texas two-step six times over on the throttle. The front end still feels uncertain at best, and it seems like only a matter of time before it either washes out or tank slaps me into next week. It's too bad really, because in a straight line the 'Blade can stop faster than anything else, but everywhere else it's either too vague or too manic. A strange combination really, bit in the end the unpredictable chassis and shit-poor fuelling get annoying. Looks the fuckin' tits though.
