    So change outta second gear and hold the throttle to the stop - see if it still feels slow.

    Yeah - probably like having a twelve inch cock

    At first it gets played with a lot, but then you get used to it

    I am sure if you give either a good thrashing it will pull pretty hard

    Lol was wondering if ya was talking straight line running ! Anyone can do 280 k in a straight line ! Get to the track ! And yr right, its all about the corners, how smooth can ya get ! Ya ever read *the pace* (search for the thread about it) there's another challenge for ya, see if you can !

    I could have my learner mrs doing top speed on an R1 in a matter of weeks (mmmm maybe) but why ?
    Unless yr a drag racer and its yr buzz to do the quater in under 8 but then ya better to look at a ZX kwaka or a Busa and unleash another 10 to 20 grand at it ! Then ya may get tossed off the back !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Roger that pink leader, even too tame/lame for that Mr J Random geezer who obviously got bored with it too and threw it down the road...


    buy a honduh, then you'll realise silly questions like this are no longer silly once you've come out of the closet!

    Find a quiet gravel road, drop down a cog and give it a handful. If that doesn’t get the adrenalin pumping, I don’t know what will!
    Oh and look out for sheep!

    Play with a Hayabusa for a while and you'll never go back... Gives a rush better than a nose packed full of blow!
    Ride, eat, sleep, repeat!

    There might just be a farmer's fence out there that's willing to rip your arms off.

    Though there would be a high risk of coming out the other side looking like McCain oven chips!

    Remove the brakes, they're just dead weight anyway.
