mmmmm RVF

it is THE bike, just get a set of stacked cans, and you are pretty much at the RC45 experience

apart from fuel injection and the lack of 70 or so horses Rolling Eyes

That be "Wez's RVF" now sonny Wink

Once you get it started Rolling Eyes you shouldn't have too many problems getting used to it - the power delivery is very linear and doesn't bite (much), and you don't need to worry about power wheelies when you give it full throttle from a standstill.

It might feel a bit "wild" at first as it steers so quick, but you'll learn to love that Smile

Enjoy!

Fully awesome bikes, make sure you always treat it to top bollocks tires and keep it mechanically sound and it won't disappoint.

Mine was fond of munching through clutches when really ragged, but apart from that it was perfect.

Tin, Full throttle from stand still , clutch out! Smile could be dangerous.

You don't need to full throttle it to get the front up if you clutch it. Well not on mine anyways.

Had the bike now for about 3 hours and fuck me, what a beast. Seems to be running fime and besides a dodgy finish on the paint (which i new about anyhow) it is amazing. Although with my licence it should really be restricted to 33 little ponies but we will see. It is in need of a new rear tyre soon so i was looking at bridgestone, where can i get them at a good price? Now the only problem is how to get the fucker up to my room. hhhhhmmmm
