The extra power became quite reassuring. Still, at first felt I had to anticipate stuff ahead of time, cos, unlike the smaller bike, it didn't quickly pull into empty spaces.. And unlike the smaller bike often had no more to give at the top of the rev range.

    Actually, and maybe it's just the specific bike I was using, I found it maxed out at 6k in sixth gear with the throttle wide open. I managed a top speed of about 148Nice chugging power though.
    . Less vibey at speed.. Another rider said that might be because the screen is bigger so less wind, dunno, I although inexpert would put it down to the fact it's a single not twin cylinder.

    Cool day
    Ok question.

    WOULD YOU BUY ONE.?

    In real terms, the 148Kmh is only about 130 Kmh if you're lucky.
