[QUOTE="rhody, post: 854417, member: 1605"] beemer, herfjr, Thanks for the thumbs up, I put a lot of time, creative thought and energy into it, tried to tie everything and make it work together, understated, subtle, but she draws you in. She is going to be "uncorked", allowing acceleration to the 14.5K limit this week. I don't want to lose my license power wheeling the thing in 2nd, 3rd gears over the double nickel on the street, so easy to do. The Ohlins suspension really helps a feeling of security (still fiddling with settings for the street). I am not going to trash it at Loudon NH this June for track day, but have fun at a level I am comfortable with. BTW, if you ever buy one of these things, pay extreme care to "race" mode and cold weather/tires, the response is super aggressive 1/4 turn throttle, and cornering with (attempted) fine control over road bumps can lead to exciting moments. All the videos you can purchase, Isle of Mann, MotoGP, Northwest 200, Ulster GP, Daytona 200, don't do the sensations you feel justice. I understand why some folks get hooked on the feeling. The Taylor exhaust, even rev limited to 9K makes my hair on my back stand on end at times. Here is a quote I made on another forum I belong to concerning the racers who participate in the races I just mentioned. Rhody... :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
