I would have to say blade. I have just got mine road legal. The only draw back is lack of reverse but so far not a problem. I just get out and
push!!. The noise, 12000 rpm redline and power is just unbelievable. Been to work a few times init and the general reaction is one of disbelief at
the shear acceleration and noise of it all. IMHO there is only the blade option. They are civilised enough to go through the odd town etc.
We are building two MK Indy Blades

Ok so if i was to go for a Blade ( i asume you mean fireblade engine) how do you connect the drive shaft and gear change linkage? Also what 0-60 could
i expect?
Cheers

MK sell an adapter. You have to take the chain wheel off the engine output shaft and this bolts to the shaft. The drive shaft then bolts to the
adapter . The gear linkage is something that you have to make yourself. Some people use a cable gear shift. I have used a serious of pivots to get
the necessary movement.
You can expect 0-60 in around 4 seconds. My best after a serious bogging down was 5 seconds with two people in
Hope thos help you decide
