    I think a lot of people thought that after riding them, as the S def came on harder and felt faster, but it wasn't. The R will walk away from the S in a straight out drag.

Always wanted a duc 916, rode my mates back in the day and it was so much smoother than the aprilia but I was a orangutan on the thing. Built for the little people unfortunately
    I jumped off my sp1 years ago and tried a mates tlr and it was horrid. It felt like it wanted to push you wide in corners. Might have been the suspension settings but it was borderline scary.
    I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.

    can't recall the exact details but after the S he had the R then the Haybusa. He wrapped that around a lampost at Suzuki in practice and ithe team dragged the R out of the warehouse to finish the day on, Don't remember his results though.

    Pretty sure we ended up with his TL1000S at WMCC to see if we could sort it out. It had been tuned to a stand still.

    I have had a Ohlins shocks on four bikes and have seen a number of Ohlins forks. Those forks look wrong and the jury is out on the shock. It could be that someone got a bulk deal on Ohlins stickers?

    I'm sure it does go really well. But fuck paying that for a dirt bike unless it's a factory works bike or summat.

    Don't know why he keeps parading his Mrs around all his listings. She sure isn't attractive enough for that kind of concept. Best to let the bike do the talking.
