The new Blade is all about total control. Here’s the video to prove it

Honda’s philosophy when it designed the new Blade was that it should put the rider in total control. When that rider is MCN regular Kevin Smith that was going to be given a thorough test.

Rear wheel steering comes naturally to Kev. He races, tests tyres and often joins our team on road tests.

This was an important one, the first time the Blade had been given a thorough shakedown on the kinds of roads most of us will use it on.

You can read about the detail of the test by following the relevant link, right. And there’s more in MCN published on Wednesday, January 9.

But to give yourself the clearest idea of what the new Blade can do, watch our exclusive video, by following the link for that, right.
