    It's the wail Bob. I'm giving my age away when I say that I used to go and watch Percy Tait on the works Trident with an open megaphone at Mallory Park.

    Just a noob question... aint that speed triple the one that is restricted untill you hit 5th gear as the torque shreds the rear wheels etc or am I mistaken?

    Don't think so - The 2,300cc Rocket III has a 'reducer' on 1st and 2nd gears.
