and photo's taken parked on the 'No Parking' bit too :2up
going by the tyres it seems to have the ability to get round corners.
Yeah, so much as look at a corner and all of a sudden you're the other side of it! Very nimble machine, impressed so far!!

Parking :oops . . . Had to be done, good spot for a photo. Shame my camera died before I got any decent ones!

Anyways, off to get drenched! Don't you just love our climate :roll

How do you figure that... you've even more power and still cant take me even on a straight line ;)

Nice bike Rowan, think we should do an engine swapover ;)

Tidy bike Rowan, think i saw you on it tonight.

Exhaust. Racefit - tidy.
Crash bungs. Try the Evotech. Thats what i put on my Gixer 6, no drilling required.
Tail Tidy. Evotech also.
Levers. Was happy with the Pazzo Shorties on the R1.

it's all about power to weight ratio.
he may have 40% more cc than a certain, cute, long haired, curvy (roundhouse slap delivered from stage left . . .)
however, he also has significantly more than 40% disadvantage on girth / length / general manliness, which obviously hinders his straight line acceleration.
The geezer in question also understands that being 'fastest' is not always what the laydees want, and may be 'taking his time' and 'putting in the moves'

And I may be talking complete shizzle, but. leave Arron alone, he's a fine loon.

Nope, sounds good as it is, popping etc on the overrun plus I really like the look of the standard. Will save me £800+ as well.
