Jeez, it's bloody quick! Done about 70 miles or so since i picked up my toy yesterday so I thought I'd let you know what I think so far. It's bloody fast! The height caught me out at the first junction i came to, feet flapping trying to find the floor lol, the weight is a big difference compared with my zx6r. Must've hit the horn more times than the indicator switch, seems a bit awkard to get at, any remedy for this? Love the noise the Blue Flame cans make.

Yeah, I'm still getting used to the horn/indicator arrangement.

Glad you like it. :banana

You get used to it pretty quickly but yes feels awkward at first.

I'm finding the same with my 03 Tuono, feels pretty quick, superb handling still gettting used to it though, strips on new rear tyre nearly gone, I'm constantly aware of the feeling that the bike is better than me (which it probably is).

I think most modern bikes are better than the vast majority of us.

I find the gear change is a bit awkward to get me foot under, will have to have a little play around with some adjustment
