  1. I tried opening-up the D16RR all the way for the first time yesterday. Ran out of bottle and road! That bike is outrageous :eek:

  3. Yeah, can empathise. The 998 scares the bejaysus out of me on the road (so thankfully, the st2 is much more appropriate for the roads).

    need to work out how/when the feck to do one of these track day thingies - guess the D16 would still be mental, but less worried about shite on road, police, drivers, etc, etc, etc.

  9. Only maxed out my 999 in top once in the 5 years I've had it. Seen 150/160 a few times tho, then spent the next 2 weeks nervously watching the letterbox.
