Sounds like a weird post doesnt it...?
Well, spent most of the day out on my rsv4 factory. Its modded quite a bit, full system, reflashed ecu. Ive had it for 8 years and still love the thing. Anyway we took a trip down to Loomies moto cafe and when we left picked up a z1000 in front and as soon as he copped me in his wind mirror cracked on. From what i could see totally stock. Now i hasten to say that i was quite easily staying with him in the corners and to be honest probably could have gotten past but, it would get quite dangerous then so i opted not to. But ( and heres the reason for the post) in a straight line from a rolling 30 mph start.....theyre fucking fast upto a ton +.... again i maybe could have gotten past but it would have become dangerous....in the end he started taking some pretty stupid decisions overtaking wise so i let him crack on. Better to get home to your loved ones in one piece.!
More of a message to anyone looking for one, go an test ride one for yourself. Imo theyve got it where it counts....my rsv4 is easy to get up to 150+ but how often does that happen....hardly ever...so if you buy a tuono for example lots of the speed is going to be lost up in that range where the every day ride doesnt take you....the zed has it best.
Bit of a strange post as i say but its a bit weird when you race ( well not race but have a spirited ride as it were ) against your own bike...!
