"It's like a tiny, loud, light, angry, stiff World Superbike racer, or a pukka 250GP bike. It's like no other supersport bike I've ridden – so raw, and more race than track."

"It feels every inch a track-ready racer, it steers quickly, gives loads of feedback for grip and the brakes are superb. It's fast, but revvy - a Daytona 675 or GSX-R600 have a lot more grunt and a far smoother throttle."

"The throttle response on the F3 can be a little snatchy and hesitant depending in which of the four power maps you're in."

Sounds like a little monster!!

I'm my mind it sounds perfect Who needs grunt and smooth throttle when you can use the word ANGRY in the ride description

Woo, the new BMW S1000RR demo has arrived, and I'll be test riding said German beastie next week.

Quoting myself here for context:

...his bike's been parked up for a couple of weeks and needs the running gear turned over so I'll enjoy taking Cammy out for a lunchtime spin through Paremoremo/Coatesville tomorrow, whee!

Well, that ride didn't turn out quite as expected... my lunchtime blat through the twisties turned into taking the CBR1000RR in for its WOF instead
Next time Wanpo, you dirty tease, I'll take Cammy out for a decent run through the twisties

so I am going to be without a bike for a couple of weeks, some dickhead backed into the bikes at the shop today, another bike fell on mine, and mine hit the tarmac, so it's now being repaired...

Oh man that sucks. Did the tosser get caught and/or fess up at all?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA well that made me laugh tonight... thanks!

Yeah they know who hit it, the shop can take it up with him, but they are fixing my bike, so all good... just not quite what you expect when you go to pick it up from a service... don't like seeing my gorgeous baby like that. The tank could be fixed, but they offered to transfer a new one onto it, so I took that option, but told them i wanted the rest fixed up and replaced and they agreed. So I will wait to see what it comes out like.

Ouch... certainly don't expect to drop it off for a service and have it get fucked instead... Still, sounds like the shop will see you right

Oooo, that's very pretty! I guess the litre sports bikes just didn't do it for you?

Took this for a test ride and fell in love with it. Very agile, more than enough power and I love the triple sound. Its got character.

The litre bikes were a blast, but I can see myself losing my license. Like others before me who shall remain nameless.. wanpo

Dude not even I am going to actually RIDE it, it's just for looking at

Haha but on a serious note sounds like a plan!

[baffa]

Awesome choice man. That is one bike I would love to own.
Watch out Hellzie doesnt start poisoning your morning coffee so she can steal off with it!

That sucks Trace, I hope you end up with a better (read: Shiny) bike as a result like Sharry.

Yip, I'm going to complain just a little bit more... pissed off and disappointed now, cause i was going home yesterday thinking "SWEET, I can start riding to work, and time to ride this weekend" and had a shitty day at work today with everything going wrong in the lab with robots not working, and samples being loaded incorrectly etc, I would have really liked a ride home today! gah! Hate not having my baby in my possession and willing to ride at my own free will!

And can't come bug you lot after work monday!
