    Good to hear that you are back in the saddle. Such a nice looking bike man. Almost looks as good as the Beemer.

    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    Yeah nice one, cheers for that. That confirms a few things. One is the output. From another spec sheet I saw saying 135BHP max & 118BHP something a rather. So it is actually 120BHP at the wheel, that certainly explains it. A mate was trying to tell me it would be under 100BHP and I was like "na man, that feels like at LEAST 8 Bajillion to me" he he

    I like my RF. It's a good bike.

    I rode a late model ('06) FZR1000 last weekend... and a ('07) Bandit 1250... They're not RF's... and they both went rather well. Enjoy the beast you have - it will serve you well, young Jedi.
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    What do u mean exactly "they are not RF's"?


    Elaborate jedi master


    What was better about the RF compared with those bikes?

    Oh wicked! That looks like a bit of me, keen as mustard but not sure about the new job in terms of when & where. Just asked in that thread if you can "pay at the door" as it were.

    It was my first experience with the "pucker factor"

    It taught me: -
    1. That my arsehole can amazingly quickly develop a huge attraction for the seat and
    2. Look further ahead, especially at speed and
    3. Keep your speed at a level that does not exceed the visible distance ahead and
    4. It's bloody hard to dodge a hawk cos you don't know which way the buggers will go
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Boob--word of warning.When you're on the open road watch the speedo fairly regularly. The RF has a nasty habit of "settling" at about 125-130km/h
    It feels more like 100
    Ohh and DON'T be tempted to fit a wider rear tyre--the 170 is the best tyre size for the bike
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
