Blimey! :eek2:

Let us know when it's coming on, I will keep an eye out for ya.

The firebolt looks the baldrocks, always had a soft spot for Buell's but I have my doubts as to how they'd stand up to UK weather.

Adamski You're right of course, the problem is that most people (ie me) will slam the throttle shut 30 times before they get the bottle to keep it open or feather it a bit. So that's 30 hard landings, busted fork seals, loose head bearings or worse. I've just had my head bearings replaced so this is...

Speedy I think it's the other way round (Honda use 10wt). Roger said 5wt is too thin for the VTR and as Luca has said, go for 7.5wt. The key thing to set is the air gap, very important. :whatever Mine currently have 5wt with 130mm air gap, and they're waay too harsh. Tomorrow morning I'm going up to...

I will definitely be moving back to used race tyres after these BT56's have worn out.

Also heard many good reports on 207RR's too m8.

I've only touched the pegs down once or twice, but my old Carbotech CF bellypan use to deck out quite often, on my own or two-up. I'm no heavyweight either (a mere 12 stone). I've got a modified moriwaki race bellypan (the one that acts as a catch tank) on now and that's fine, although to be honest ...
