Thinking of moving to a litre bike. R1, Gixxer 1k etc. Which?

Just found out that the 2012 digital dash with lap timer is a direct fit.

Bloody hell its tidy. Ive seen dirtier new bikes.

Score :-)

I am quite impressed how quickly you went from shooting the shit to buying on this one

Its in great shape, almost too nice to take to the track. Almost......

Just need a few tweeks to fit me. Little head scratch as i want to move the rearsets back but they will touch the muffler. I will sort it out.

Seriously? It's all down to the rider, NOT the bike.
Inline 4's are ridden on racetracks and WIN if in the hands of a good rider.
Remember, the bike is merely a tool, in the wrong hands, tools can be dangerous, so forget all that bullshit about V-twins being better etc.

Dont worry, Cassina doesnt know what torque is.

My Bandit has the most torque I have come across, pulls like a train from nothing. The CBR has a bit as well but the Bandit eats it down low. Mind you the CBR holds first to 140ish.

If you gear the CBR down to Bandit levels that'll change.

The Bandit is -1 front and +2 rear along with 90ftlbs at 6k rpm. So it should punch down low.

But yeah get the point on the CBR. Its gearing will be dropping.

Gearing - ride a Ducati ..... 6th was useless unless over 130-140. I've dropped 1 tooth on the front (interesting Ducati offer this on just about every bike in their extras catalogs). Tall gearing to meet some shit Euro standard ride past regulation.
