before i say more about how fast my mille is i didnt mean the top speed only how fast it gets up to around 100ishmph or more not the top speed i know i should have made that clear in the last post reply but hey im an old guy with an old brain lol .. the bike i had before the mille was a 98 thunderace i had that for 4 years and there by no means slow .also ive ridden a few other faster bikes like a 56 plate zx10R ,02 plate R1 which i thought was **** floppy gear change and not as fast as i thought it would be also 1200 bandit lol zx900 and some other too.but the old thunderace pulled like a monster only having a 5 speed gearbox up to around 150 was great then it would loose its edge against the likes of the R1 .but its not how fast it goes im into ,just how fast you can push it through the twisties is the part i like and no other bike would beat the mille there corner entry speed and exit speed on a mille is so good unlike the jap fours which need more winding up and braking control in and out .am i talking **** ? lol .also to say im not a top speed kinda guy ive only had my mille up at 150 mph a few times didnt see the point going any faster to be honest .
my point about my new rsvr mille being slower than my rsv mille lol was all i was trying to say thats all hehe :biggrin
think the older the r1's the quicker they are..the first models are rawer apprently, but like i said i just didnt feel that confident on mine, think the milles chassis is better, also at 3k rpm the mille is sposed to have 10bhp more than a gsxr 1000 and i live in cornwall, nothing but twisties lol....that says it all right there
