Here you are... All in order. Not a bad review. Though what they say about the Falco engine being detuned isnt really right. The falco is down about 2 BHP from the RSV peak but gains a SHED load in the middle!

Hovis... you know you want one

I always thought that they were an underrated bike. I was very tempted to get one, but went for the Speed Triple instead.

Indeed

Im still not sure what colour to do mine... Matt black is winning atm.

I might get a PCIII on some time... I need to get the heads checked (major service) then Dyno it to check fuel mix after gabro chip (ECU change) and then see what the craic is.

What power it saying you got then Jack the hammer?
