Only 10kg difference!?! I could have sworn it was more, and I sat on it dry! Maybe it's true that a lower centre of gravity makes it feel heavier. There's also those watchamacallit fairing-type extensions on the sides of the already fat tank which make it look even bulkier. Maybe it's true what they say about how vertical stripes make one look thinner and horizontal ones fatter. It's all in the lines. Tricks the mind, it does. And I thought I had delusions of grandeur, it's more like illusions of grosseur now.
