  3. yeh cheers , had sports bikes forever but got the r nine to chill out a bit, it was strange at first going to flat bars but now don't think I would get another sports bike for the road, really looking forward to get it should be plenty powerfull enough, comes with the termis on so will sound good

  7. I've heard the black paint is heavier, so slows it down ;-)

  8. Nah, it's more slippery so therefore more aerodynamic

  9. And there was me thinking it was slippery due to the wet people riding them ha ha
