I was down on power compared to bigger and newer bikes. In my own class (pre-injection 700) I was fine on that front. We share a grid with the 1300 class, hence all the R1s, but I'm not actually racing them as such.

In the Newcomer class I could starve myself for six months and I'd never make up the deficit to the likes of Daytonas and MVs, let alone 10Rs and an RC8.
