Only knowing that they're bloody fast!

Is it a 'blade'?

It's a Kawasaki. Possibly ZX-10R

Is it not a CBR 600, Circa 2005? Headlights look right and at 1:00 in you can see what I think are the letters CBR on the fairing. It also has an under-seat exhaust which CBR's had.

I agree with Kraft - pretty certain it's a Kwak of some description, although nowhere I can see is there any concrete ID possible.

It's the CBR600RR which had/has the underseat pipe, but embarrassingly, I think you're right.

If you watch one of the other vids there, "Getaway in Stockholm 8 - Getaway Rider" by Lanky1066, it's a lot clearer. I'd say too, given the shape of the tank, it is a 6; the (proper!) Fireblade's tank has a more pronounced "hump" to it than this one seems to have.

The other things which point to CBR-dom are the mirror stalks, fairing holes and, last but not least, the swing-arm.

Dammitall!!!  

That's an hour and half of my life I'll not get back!!
