Holy Foccin shit :eek ........they are amazing!!!!.....this is getting the prize for the most oddball suggestion but waw i was smiling watching that video........that would be close to flying a spitfire........perhaps just over my budget...god if i dont get one this time i must have one before i die.....& you are right....it is everything i have described...& i'd love having something different & i wouldnt end up doing silly speeds....it's like the fun of a chopper & sport bike combined into 1.....gotta say i'm blown away by that Chaz..thanks....how cheap have you seen decent ones go for out of interest???...god i'd love to see folks faces getting passed by that beast.
Also the MT09....i'm not overly enthralled by it....but i can give it a chance, they are pushing the test rides so why not...but again out of my budget...im trying to steer clear of finance....maybe at a push if 0% & if maybe only financing half of the bike....i'll see what cash flow is looking like......still smiling about that MT01
& the CB1000R...another review about how clinical it is......on paper it looks awesome...ive been compiling torque figures just as a quick comparison for grunt & it's stats sit nicely in the grunty paradise...i know torque isnt so straightforward to analyse into riding though...but i'll post up some stats for a rough comparison.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
