7 grand, front wheel lifts....
For someone like myself who rarely (very rarely) gets the front wheel off the ground, (sometimes unintentionally because I have the throttle wide), and even when I get the front wheel off the surface and it is what I intended and it is so uncontrolled and bad, with those provisos, 7 grand (even in first) is not slow to be on one wheel...
If I rode one up more often, and therefore got used to it a bit more, maybe I would be a bit more comfortable. Maybe the sprocket's the go Jo will love me if I do the bigger sprocket and shorten the wheelbase!
