  19. yes mate took it for a short blast on saturday afternoon,felt very stable, handled so much better than the ninja,sounds amazing with the termi's ,it didnt feel as fast as the zx10r at first but delivers the power so differently guess il get used to it.

  20. I went out on mine today, almost fell of the back by giving it too much gas.

    The guy I was riding with said he could see the whole bike shifting on acceleration by the amount of grunt the thing has. Certainly felt fast, would say I'm not used to it yet 100% though.

    Have fun on yours mate.
