Interesting. It's got a very short wheelbase, same as an MT-07. Mind, the Gen 1 will whip the wheel up in second just on a roll on too.
As for the MT-10/R1, well... I had an amusing moment last week. I was pootling into work, and a hundred yards after leaving some traffic lights I heard this MotoGP sound and this blue R1 came past me on the back wheel and he kept it perfectly balanced and rock steady, front wheel 5 foot off the deck, for the next 300 yards. Absolutely perfect control. He was wearing combats, trainers and is almost certainly going to experience gravel rash or the biggest bollocking from the police of his life one day! He wasn't that great through traffic...
But R1s can wheelie too!
And god it sounded awesome on an open pipe.
