    Not really. Pretty fast and you can really slam the bike on its ear late. The 9R I had was without a doubt the best handlig bike I have ever ridden.

    When you think about it, Buells may not have stratospheric power outputs and do a gazillion km/h. But they have major, low-down torque to fire you from corner to corner. And all our fun, less Policed roads are the tight ones. So you can have a ball and protect your licence at the same time.

    rather enjoyed the little read...
    incidentally you didn't say where the pillion footpegs were... they seem to be the best placed in most of the motorcycles I've looked at recently..
    Good to know you're enjoying a new baby ;-)

    Haven't tested it... yet!
    Last marking on the speedo says 260ks but methinks a bit faster with race kit on.

    The usual. Passenger pegs attached to brackets that afix to frame / seating. Easily removed too. The original owner removed and put them in the carton... along with the original exhaust system. :spudwhat:
