"Fuck me Paul, it's a reet beast ain't it! I mean, more fool all those Daves pissing about on their 899's.. The 1199 goes 182 miles per hour, and the 899 tops out at only 161. As far as I'm concerned a bike that can't go at least 175 miles per hour is a girl's bike, a bike for limp-wristed newbies with cojones the size of raisins. Maybe they can use it for CBT training or something, since it's obviously so weak and slow and underpowered. Why doesn't it come with training wheels or a plastic basket on the handlebars. It shouldn't even be painted red. It should be pink with a massive Hello Kitty sticker on the side." (Adapted from a post by the insightful Archie Dux on Cycleworld, Mary's look says as much though.
