21k mint, new tyres, new C&S, meta alarm, datatag, givibox scotoiler.


It's awesome I actually can't put my heels on the floor (I'm 6'5") which is a first.

The torque is awesome it has 50% more than a cbr 600 (I've been readin up on the good bits) It flys in any gear but is abit rough low down. It goes into the redline so quick, it catches you out and doesn't seem to lose power. It handles well and is the most comfy bike I have ever sat on it feels like an arm chair. The front comes up really easily in first gear. It pushes hard to 90 mph and I had it at 120 without any trouble. It is really light for a bike like this 190kg.

Downside is the gearbox pretty clunky, but everything is spot on.

I would agree but it is my old man, and I'm fairly surely he would ride anyone here under the table if it could be done.
