Newb saying Hi

Don't get TOO carried way these should have a health warning label on them. they will jump up and bite you VERY hard, and you may end up being carried away in a white van with blue lights.do yourself a favor. pick your riding mates very carefully at first, sensible only, or ride on your own. spend lots of time getting use to the bike, then at a later date your mates will spend all their time playing catch up. too quick too early and all your dreams will end up as a scuffed tangled mess. you will not be disappointed with the rsv. what shocked me with mine (only done 400miles so far in 2 days from new), is the lack of perception of speed compared to my 4 cylinder sports bikes. you arrive at bends much quicker than you think, and what feels like normal cornering speeds on my zx7r/zx9r is actually much faster. anyway when you get it take it easy have fun and keep it rubber side down, they look much better looking that way.

Wecome aboard the madhouse, but do take this good and sound advice fella. :thumbup They are very deceiving, especially if its ur first bike :devious
 
Welcome to the board, another vote here for heroblobs comments. Take your time and enjoy. An AWFUL lot of power if you're new to biking.
 
will do buddy to be honest i think ill be pretty nervous on it to start with,

What i might do to be honest is give my instructor a ring because he was a top bloke and see if he will give me a refresher lesson
 
just go easy with the ole throttle hand and you will be fine!, as said they are deceptivley fast!!
enjoy--barp barp

cheers buddy when i say 1st bike i really mean 1st road bike ive had a couple of motor x bikes for on the fields,

Do RSVs have a power band at any point through the rev range or is it silky smooth all the way to the redline?

One last thing the owner of the bike said that the rev Light comes on at 6k but you can change it to what ever you want, just wondering what was the reason of having a changeable rev light?
 
you can change the shift light, most peeps have it somewhere between 9.5 and 11 ish, depends how you ride really.
Good old grunt right through the rev range mate, brilliant engine. You may have a dip at about 6-6.5k, a PC111 will sort that out.

sweeet i prefer a nice strong pull all the way through not quite as exciting as a big hefty power band but its alot more useable IMO of course
