Nope, still get first date of registered -1/07/1971 >>> https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/?_ga=2.104210944.1004988898.1591897954-253097114.1582192924
Do you have any detailed pictures of the bike ?
Good spot, had looked at that but not noticed date of reg, interesting that the details on the DVLA website for vehicle check are different. I have always leaned towards the vehicle check details as they come from the V5, as I have seen before some real variance on MOTs that are mistakes by the testers, that said not noticed a date difference before. No, not detailed images unfortunately, just general.

The system says it is a 1971 bike and the mileage clock is going backwards 2007 41,000 and 2019 at 22,000 miles 
Thanks Trigger, I can only see the DVLA showing June 73 as 1st reg. how did you get 71? Also can agree the mileage other than the 2019 MOT is mistype should be 2258 as current mileage is 2300, was clock reset after rebuild in 2012.

Thanks Trigger for those wise words of wisdom, couldn’t agree more, any bike I have bought second or multiple hands on has cost me more than I have budgeted for

Funny question, but understand the reason  32” inside leg, and never had an issue straddling modern superbikes and getting both feer on the ground if desired. But definitely not discounting a 550, if it’s the right bike, at the right money I will be looking at it.

Blades gone, so search on in earnest now, think I will end up going down the 750 route, but ultimately it will be the right bike at the time as always, no matter when that might be.
Not looking for a major resto, just a clean tidy bike that an be ridden.

Why don't you try and get a ride on a 550/750 to see what you think before you bin the Blade - if you are used to bikes like the Blade/NC, you will find a huge difference. Only saying because you clearly love Blades and might regret losing a bike you love. I have a 90's ZZR and the difference is massive but I use my bikes for different ride outs so appreciate the different bikes for differnt reasons.
Thanks thats a very good point. That’s the problem though, you can’t ride superbikes like they way you want to very often on public roads these days and get away with what you could say 5 or 10 years ago, attitudes have changed quickly I feel, and I am just not feeling the enjoyment of riding one like I used to, at least with the NC you can ride it 9/10ths and not cause much offence, maybe it’s just the crowded roads in this part of the world, so it’s time to move on a experience a slightly more sedate pace and not have the frustration I am getting on a Blade nowadays.

Thanks.
lovely Blade there, the early ones were really game changers.
Yep Blade fanatic here, 20 years non stop and on my 6th, but just feel it’s time to move on, got mixed feelings but been looking on and off at these bikes for around 2 years and every time I see one parked up, really feel it’s my next move.

Hi
Signed up to gain knowledge for future purchase of a 550 or 750. so looking forward to learning.
Last SOHC was a 400T I ran as a commuter for a few years in the 90s until the engine burnt so much oil daily and had Greenpeace camping on my drive in protest.
Currently running a 92 NC30 and 2014 Blade. The NC took 2 years to find what I was looking for, so won’t be surprised if this search ends up the same. Blade is getting moved on to make room in the garage.
Been running one type of Honda or another nearly continuously since late 70s, the first being a CB100N.
Thanks.
