it will be coming over to Scotland with me this year after he couldnt make it last year.. iv had a few rides on it and i have to say. the handling is something else on it but. engine wise honestly i think the storm engine has it.maybe i was expecting more but its not a great leap forward.

I had the rsvr factory, fantastic bikes, engine, sound and looks, nearly killed myself on it and lost my licence on it. Only had it for 3 months.

Rear brakes a shitter though, need to do brake line mod or the link pipe boils the fluid withing 5 mins of riding.
If it aint broke, get your bloody hands off it!

ah that bike of stevies has all the bells on it but maybe i was expecting more.. better top end rush but not as strong of the bottom end. i was comparing it to my yellow one at the time. nice bike and unreal brakes. :Ball Kick:

the two of them side by side on a very private road it was splitting hairs..

Ok fiddling some more. a big road speedo wasnt really in keeping with the rest of the bike so bought a wee heads up display for a car, works on GPS so better than the standard readings i was getting..

a wee bit of a tidy up round the edges and she will be good to go. :thumbup:
