It was sorta damp...dry in places...riding position very good compared to the 916....more comfortable!..Anyway poodling along around 3/4k revs opening her up to like 6/7k...kinda riding it like the 916...i thought certainly not as quick ....UNTIL i found a dry bit of road...went round the roundabout into first and wack....fuck me it went then it hit a certain rpm and fuck me i needed razor sharp reactions as the front lifted so quickly ,shut off and shook my head...i had just nearly flipped it ...so i thought lets hold it flat in second from about 4k revs...hmm not bad not as quick as the duke...then it literally took off i cannot say what rpm but i made the commmon sense to force myself over the tank as i thought maybe the front wheel lift...obviously not as quick...and i was right too...the steering was very light but it stayed planted...changed to third looked at speedo 107mph at the end of 2nd I then poddled home muttering in my helmet fucking death machine crazy shit fuck me etc etc I dread to think what 3rd is gonna be like...as you are already in the being banned zone at the end of 2nd gear
