Check out the new (old) ride , awesome raw power , and so easy to ride with good steering, brakes are bit how you going , suspensions been given the ohins treatment (bumps dont bother it) , been dyno tuned at 143hp 2nd gear 20% throttle rear wheel for more low down power , spits out 163 hp at the top gear at 80% throttle, pretty good for a bike 9 yrs old bike with a taxi k's.
It's not as smooth as the 650f but i like that , it feels like a motorbike should, rawish and electric like.
It's seems to eat the traffic very easily , i thought id need a gear shift indicator (like the 650f) to work out which gear im in but you seem to be able to roll the throttle on in any gear and it just goes. So i dont need one. The corners seem to come up a bit quicker than they used to so i've noticed i have to concentrate more than i used to.
The seat is very cozy for a little one , better than the f (and it's huge)
It's got a centre stand , thanks christ for that, power commander , tinted screen ,gear rack , other than that she's stock.
Apparently she'll go 340km flat out , (not with me on it) that's faster than rosi on a gp bike - insane .All this for well under 10 grand.
