Congrats on getting this bike! Make sure you treat her like your Baby :P

if u dont mind,,,, how much did it cost you???

Good to see your Blade in pictures. The bike you own makes you the envy of lots of bikers across the country. Ride long and safe....

Yup this is the official Blade, bought form Honda two wheelers India .
We went to Delhi to book it, the delivery was made in Delhi. And so was temp. registration and insurance.
The transport cost from Delhi to Kolkata was borne by us.

@outwardly maniac... the bike is priced Rs 13.25 lakhs on road Delhi

Congratulations Mr. Fireblade. What about registration and other formalities? For the Yams the bikes were opened in the showroom, registered and delivered to the owners, right? How come they delivered it to u without registration? Did u take care of it on ur own? Is that not the company's responsibility?

WOW !!! Congrats man. This is one steed that makes the heart skip a beat. Looking at the pictures I was wondering how it felt when you got the box and then opened it up layer after layer. Aahhh..such a wonderful feeling....opening up the new baby .

Congrats man...good to see a Fireblade...Respect its sheer power ....Ride safe...Cheers...and the key looks stunning

congrats ! (cant see the pics though , blocked in ofc) so which colour did you finally choose?

@Fireblah: COngratulations for getting the best motorcycle in the world on the street, at least

Its nothing short of magic that Honda is able to achieve such a perfect balance in riding ergonomics, comfort, power, smoothness, making this bike the easiest to ride fast among all the litre bikes. Hats off to the mighty Wing

Once again, Congratulations!

Yes i know !! i was waiting to write what i think. been reading alot of threads, people raving about R1. Now, I have not ridden R1, would be nice if i get a chance.
So all i can write about is what i have experienced.
Yestarday i was cruising through the city. was a nice day , as it was election day, so the roads were pretty much empty. Anyways, kolkata roads even if empty, cant be taken lightly as you dont know where you will find a pot hole or a ramp ready to launch you into the sky !
But inspite of all this, the blade is just so so so comfortable in the city.
I own a pulsar for the last 3 years. So i was a bit sceptic about how will the bike fair in city conditions, but lemme tell you guys, i have absolutely no problem with this "superbike". The only problem is heat. On a sunny day it becomes demanding, sun on top, 1000ccs of fire beneath !
The riding position needs time to be adjusted too, but after a while it becomes comfortable.
Now whenever i ride my pulsar, i keep feeling that something is wrong with it, and its not anything related to power !

My point is , people do not know this bike, and it deserves alot of praise and respect

The showrooms for this bike had not opened then (dunno if its open yet). Temporary registration was done by Honda, we did not get it registered in Delhi as we want a West Bengal(kolkata) reg.no. The bike was opened first time in front of us. They had no provision for delivery to kolkata, so we had to make our own arrangements for transport. except the transport, all other things were done by Honda... but now we'll have to get the registration done
