Hi SpeedoX, sorry I missed your post from May! I have a 1200S & I can assure you you won't miss the power of a Blade. I have a 163 RW BHP GSXR1000 so I'm used to something similar to your Blade. The Monster has 135+ at the rear wheel (145 on paper). The 92ft lbs of torque is delivered so fast (85% below 4500 rpm, max at 7250) that you'll wonder what a 4 cylinder is all about. It pulls your arms out when you get past those revs. I've found this bike to be the best money I've ever spent on 2 wheels. I can't rave about it enough. I put a Remus Hypercone on it & took the baffle out. 'Kin gawjus!
Have you bought yet?
