Hmm, sorry Richard, but the thing is amazing. And that's with the RPM restricted to 9k. I'm half-way through the break in at this point but I think the grin stuck on my face may be permanent.
I am getting cautious about stopping at Tim's for a quick coffee though as it does tend to collect a small crowd.
I'm 6'4" and the bike fits me perfectly. Very comfortable, despite the very firm seat. The brakes continue to amaze me and create my only scary experiences so far because I tend to feel when braking hard that the bike and I are about to part company. But I can't be pushing the brakes that hard because I have yet to have the ABS kick in.
Is everyone going to the Motorrad thing at Mosport in July? I'm curious about it and I'm planning my vacation now and wonder if I should try to make sure I'm around for that weekend or not.
Enjoy the bike. It really is a beauty. I have a hard enough time behaving with the 800, I can only imagine what trouble I could get into with that!
I'll be doing the Mosport thing in July. Never been to one, usually do Montreal F1, but I think this year, we will give the MOtorad thing a go. I hear its an amazing time, and maybe I'll get to try out an S1RR.
I was lucky enough to ride this bike for 2 days on the track at the keith code race school. it is indeed amazing fun. the traction control and the wheelie control are very nice features, and the quickshifter is also a must have! I am going to install one on my track bike.
here are a couple of shots of the bike on the track:
Nice Pics!!
