Wrong bike exup...i didnt buy deks bike mate...it just looks similar.
I do think you're right in some respects...a bit more fiddling and more practice and maybe even a couple bits n bobs and it "could" be right for me......if it doesn't sell then that's what ill hope for.
As a day bike it is good, not for touring on though....and part of the problem is me, not the bike such as on my local track just outside my street it feels shit hot because i know the corners well.....then it shines and flies like a seagull with a rocket up its arse.
But on roads that i dont know and especially blind left handers i am bottling it on this big bike because it needs imo to be commited to the corner early on and any half arsed dilly dallying is seeing me run wide towards the centre line....ok so maybe im being unfair to myself but i think on my 600 i can adjust mid corner much easier.......so the big boys bike is showing me up for the amateur that i am.......gimme a corner i can see through & ive no issue with banking it over and get a corner right on the thou and it is orgasmic.

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
