I guess I should reserve final judgement on the 1050 motor until I get chance to try one in the Speed Triple, Jon. Lower weight, extra bhp and geared to suit would obviously change the game completely.
For now, though, I still can't get beyond my well-modded Gen 1. It does all I want and more. Rode it today after yesterday's trip on Cable Tie's first Gen 1 with the standard sussies and it feels so very different - in a good way. Plus the motor in mine is virtually vibe-free by comparison. Good to get the opportunity to compare after so many years of only riding my own.
