I'd take a twin any day, I had to pick up my father in law's R6 recently - I thought the damned thing was broken cos all it did was make noise. I'm sure that IL4s are lovely, they just ain't for us......

One last one, be gentle on downshifts going into corners.
Don't change down if you're already over about six thou.
The torque and dustbin-sized pistons effectively lock the rear much easier than il4's.

But once you've got the hang of it, backing it in is a joy....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
